As the name suggests The Old Priory provides an Olde World experience in an impressive building with pears and apples in the garden along with beautiful plants. The owner and host is most welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. He can provide a vast range of information on Kelso and all that it offers. Great rooms, extremely comfortable beds and excellent showers. Quality of full Scottish breakfast deserves a special mention.Lovely. Porridge also very good. Variety of cereals available, tasty bread and homemade jams. All aspects mentioned contributed to an extremely enjoyable stay.

Clean, friendly and well-located.

Excellent, spacious room which was very clean as was the en suite bathroom. There was a good breakfast menu and the cooking was very good. The location just off the central market place is excellent and it is a good spot for exploring the Borders. The proprietor was very friendly and helpful.

Lovely B & B

We stayed one night in this quaint b & b the host was polite friendly and informative and served a lovely made to order breakfast. It is located in the centre of Kelso so its convenient for shops local pubs and cafes as well as Floors Castle but no noise issues in the evening. Onsite parking to the rear of the property was also a bonus. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and wouldnt hesitate to stay again.

Glorious stay at the Old Priory

We had a wonderful stay at the Old Priory. The room is so spacious and luxurious. Robin is such a kind, knowledgeable host. He so looked after us. I loved a delicious cooked breakfast each morning. The Old Priory is two minutes walk from Kelso's Main Square. The house has a beautiful back garden

Robin was a superb host and his property is lovely. By far the best place we stayed in for our week around the Scottish Borders. When our son left his wallet behind with all of his spending money, Robin found it and immediately mailed it back to the US for our son! Thank you for going above and beyond for our family!

A gem of a B&B

This lovely old building offer good parking and a great position to enjoy all that Kelso and the surrounding area has to offer. Traditionally decorated in keeping with its age the property has seating areas in the garden and the conservatory for relaxing outside of the bedroom. We stayed in the Turret Room, which is curb side but not noisy with shutters effective in keeping out the light to aid a good night’s sleep. The room was clean and comfortable with a generous hospitality tray and a useful information pack. The breakfast was outstanding with a good range of hot options, alongside fresh bread, an array of homemade jams and marmalades, fruit and cereal. As a vegan I was well catered for.

This is a well appointed, conveniently positioned place to stay in Kelso. On site private car parking is available plus free on-street car parking - but please check timings which are well sign posted. Our room was exactly as expected and the en-suite ideal for our needs. Clean beds/linen and windows which opened - always a pleasant find. Our host was an excellent source of local knowledge and an excellent cook - well organized and provided a breakfast to set us up for the day ahead. Seems there are lots of folk who visit on a regular basis - always a good sign. The conservatory and garden are available to use & the wifi worked a treat. Didn't use the tv but was available in our room. Would gladly stay again and am only sorry it has taken us so long to discover The Borders!
