The owner Karen left us a lovely welcome basket which was so thoughtful and really appreciated. Karen also took the time to contact us prior to our stay and checked in again after our arrival to ensure everything was ok and advised to let her know if we needed anything. Really spacious apartment with everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay & would definitely recommend it.

The owner has an immaculate property and has thought of everything as it is very well furnished and equipped. The property was booked through Sykes and was exactly as described. It is a very cosy apartment, just off the main square in Kelso, so close to all amenities. I found absolutely no problems parking in the town and used the large car park less than a 2 minute walk from the property, although there are also spaces available directly outside on the street. Karen, the owner, is very friendly and kept in touch with me through the booking process and our stay to ensure everything was to our satisfaction. This was done in a very non-intrusive way, which made us feel very welcome in her property - Thanks for a wonderful break!

This is one of the nicest places we've ever stayed in, stylish and modern decor throughout, beautiful furnishings and very comfy beds. Kitchen and bathrooms excellent and had everything you need for a comfortable stay, the additional laundry room was an additional bonus! The views from the property are stunning, you couldn't get any closer to the Abbey, what a bonus! If you are looking for a base in Kelso to explore the surrounding area, then this apartment is a little luxury find, exceptional property! Karen the owner has created a beautiful home for a memorable stay and we will definitely be booking again. Shirley McGeorge
