We had a nice 2 day stay at the hotel. It is a grand old building with lots of character. The room was a nice size with a large bed and bathroom. Breakfast was fine although there was a slight wait for the full Scottish breakfast on the first day as the restaurant was busy although it was freshly cooked when it arrived. We also had dinner the second night which was nice and received good service. The hotel is ideal for the centre of town where there were many pubs, restaurants and shops. Plus I thought the hotel was very reasonably priced at about £100 per night for a large double room including breakfast. My only gripe is no bottles of water in the room which seems stand these days for the numerous hotels we stay at and bizarrely no signs to hang on the door about cleaning etc. however overall a very nice hotel and would stay there again if returning to Kelso. Plus we thought Kelso itself was a lovely place and definitely worth a visit.

Short stay

The Ednam is an old hotel and electrics and waterworks are far from up to date. We got moved after shower/bath didn’t work. Bigger room was lovely view but bath water wouldn’t go away until later on. Breakfast was nice. Great location but don’t expect too much.

Very comfortable clean bed

Nice big room with a very comfortable clean king size bed.The bathroom was very big with a large shower and a beautiful large bath.The room was clean.Three large windows with a riverside view.plenty of sun light shining through. The only downside was there was no long mirror in the room but there are plenty long mirrors in the hall ways.we were very pleased with our room.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The rooms are a little dated but the friendliness of the staff, the hotel’s charm and the location definitely make up for that. I absolutely loved the lounges and their decor, a long with the views. Breakfast was delicious.

We've just returned from a two night stay at Ednam House hotel. Its a hotel with a traditional feel. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a courtyard view. On the other side is the most magnificent river views. Breakfast was nice and staff extremely pleasant. Wouldnt hesitate to return or recommend to anyone considering a visit
