Ednam House Hotel
This rather grand building on the banks of the River Tweed is close to Kelso's great abbey and sprawling market square. The main hall is part of the original 1761 home and welcomes you with deep-seated armchairs, lovely paintings, and an open fire. Just beyond is the spacious and luxurious lounge. Bedrooms range from the smaller attic rooms with fine views to the very grand rooms on the ground floor. The restaurant's three windowed walls overlook the garden and river, and its Scottish fare includes Borders beef, Highlands venison, and traditional puddings. Despite the rather aristocratic air, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff are friendly and attentive.
