It's interesting how quiet the flat is considering how central it is. Maybe The Queen's Head sometimes at closing time can be a bit boisterous!

About the host

Hosted by Jane Bell

Host profile image

We live down in Gloucestershire but use the flat maybe for 5 or 6 weeks a year and friends have also used it in the past - so it is home from home. We have recently upgraded the bathroom.
We enjoy Kelso as everything one needs is on your doorstep, and yet where the property is situated it quite quiet, even at night.
Wi-Fi available.

Why they chose this property

Having been brought up in the Scottish Borders, my husband retains an affection for the area and when his parents died, he bought the flat as a means of keeping in touch with his 'native heath'.

What makes this property unique

For a town property, there are pleasant views overlooking the churchyard and the ruins of Kelso Abbey. The second bedroom does not have a view but is very quiet at night.
There are 2 pubs nearby - sometimes a bit noisy at the weekend but they close at 11.00 pm!
