    I found the main bedroom mattress very uncomfortable. It felt worn with detectable springs and probably just needs replaced. That said, I am difficult to please in this regard and my husband slept like a log.

    For the most part, very comfortable and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need or want. Great location and very clean.

    Lovely big fridge/ freezer and very well equipped. It would have been useful to have an empty cupboard to store our own food.

    Beautiful, spacious apartment with great outlook over the Square. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Beds were really comfortable.

    trivial comment but I banged my head on the boiler in the kitchen when using the bin. the fact that I did it more than once reflects on me I suspect? The flat is up two wide well lit flights of stairs, but this is mentioned in the details and didn't impact me.

    a lovely apartment overlooking the town square. on two floors with lounge / dining area and kitchen, then short flight upstairs to a double, and a twin bedroom and bathroom. Well decorated, immaculately presented. Very grateful for the welcome pack including nibbles and fresh milk. Everything available in the kitchen to self cater if you wish. I used the double bedroom at the back of the flat; it was very quiet and I slept well. nice full bath with an overhead shower. A helpful info pack with FAQs to hand.

    Being central did mean the bedroom at the front did get a lot of noise. People leaving bars at 12.30sh. The cobbles in the street are lovely however the downside is that while in bed you hear every vehicle going over them. The bin men also were emptying the bins at 6.30am & we heard every bin being done! The next night we slept in the back room which was so peaceful.

    Flat is lovely. Very clean. Very central. Although be aware there are 4 sets of stairs to access it.

    There were lots of steps to the property. It was not clear where we could put rubbish when bins were full.

    Location was perfect, right in the middle of the town. Perfect for shopping and for eating out.

    The property was beautifully presented and located in the town centre. The host texted me in advance with all the information of where to get the keys and let us pick them up earlier than expected. There was tea, coffee and milk accompanied with shortbread and tablet which was a lovely gesture.

    No onsite parking means you have to unload your car from a small carpark around the back of the flat. The area has disc parking of 2 hours if the car park is full.

    The location is 10/10 with great views over the main square. Lots of independent shops and restaurants to choose from in Kelso. A great base for the Scottish Borders. A very comfy flat that is well equipped and cosy.

    I can’t think of a single thing to fault.

    This property is excellent by all measures, the location is great with good food choices on the doorstep, the apartment is finished and cleaned to a very high standard with good sized rooms and a very well appointed and equipped kitchen. The property owners were very quick to respond to the questions I had and all arrangements they put in place worked perfectly. I would not hesitate to highly recommend this apartment, I will definitely look to stay here again in the future when I am in that area.
