Top Kelso Racecourse Hotel Reviews

Roxburghe Cottages, Part of Destination by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Pet friendly hotel and cottages. Plenty of areas to walk around the grounds. In the hotel there is a pet friendly bar and restaurant area. The clubhouse has food too. There is a small shop, lovely pastries. The only issue is no welcome pack with a map of the grounds, how to work the hob, cooker and heating. Even the staff didn’t know how to work the heaters! One out of three worked after a google search. However this will not stop us going back. Staff were friendly and helpful."

Dryburgh Abbey Hotel

"Fantastic! We have been many times and always enjoyed our stay but this time was different. Rooms have had a slight upgrade (new carpets) and the food quality was amazing. Thanks to Petra for her fabulous menu. There's always something else we haven't seen or done in the area. It continues to keep our interest. Thank you for a fantastic stay!"
