Matig
Pros:

Niets voor ouderen. Je moet met de koffers trappen op, af en weer op. Dus geen lift. Ook geen airco, met een mini ventialator krijg je het niet afgekoeld. Bij het ontbijt was de service zeer matig. Geen borden, geen jus, geen koffie, tafels niet opgeruimd. Ook het aanbod aan ontbijt valt tegen,je krijgt hetzelfde als in heel schotland krijgt.

Cons:

Heel veel, zie bij wat wel beviel. Prijs staat niet in verhouding met andere locaties. Jebetaald meer omdat je in een oud landhuis bent met alle nadelen, trappen, lift, ramen die niet open kunnen.

Pros:

Kelso is a great location with places to visit and ednam house has lovely grounds and views, great staff and food

Cons:

The orangey we stayed in had a few spiders and the odd wasp got in but I don't like spiders anyway so maybe not an issue for some but the room was nice otherwise.

Excellent facilities and very friendly and helpful staff. Thank you.
Pros:

I have stayed in Ednam House Hotel on a number of occasions whilst visiting family, who live just outside Kelso. I always find the Hotel very comfortable, very convenient and all aspects of the stay fulfil and even exceed my expectations. It is my preferred accommodation in the area and I am already looking forward to my next visit.

Cons:

Cannot think of anything.

The best thing I can say is I would definitely return & recommend it to others
Pros:

Hotel with character, excellent food, we ate there every night

Cons:

The bed was a little too hard for me , a mattress topper would have been ideal.
