You will find excellent local amenities here with plenty of pubs, restaurants and coffee stops to choose from as well as a fine range of independent shops where you are guaranteed a warm welcome. For provisions the town is served by two excellent butchers’ shops, a fishmonger, a super deli, and a number of bakeries, while two large supermarkets sit nearby for all of your holiday needs.

For dining-out, The Cobbles and The Contented Vine are highly regarded for their food and friendly atmosphere, or for light lunches you will find plenty of tempting treats in the many cafes in the town or the nearby Terrace Cafe at Floors Castle. 

Activities

For outdoor sports, Kelso is synonymous with fishing, sitting on the confluence of the rivers Tweed and Teviot, and is a much loved destination for salmon anglers who come to experience world-class fishing on the prolific Middle Tweed salmon beats around this area - Rutherford, Makerstoun, Upper and Lower Floors, Junction and Hendersyde are all within a few miles of the property.

For golf enthusiasts, Kelso Golf Club is an attractive parkland course resting on the edge of the town while the sublime Roxburghe Championship Course sits just 3 miles away - recently voted 6th best course in Scotland by readers of the country’s best selling golf title. There is a pro-shop and PGA golf academy here for those who are new to the game or wish to refine their swing, and if you’re feeling particularly energetic you may decide to finish off your day popping a few clays at the nearby shooting school.

Floors Castle, the magnificent home of the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe is just a ten-fifteen minute walk from the property where visitors can take a tour of the castle led by knowledgeable guides who will introduce you to the history of this exceptional residence and its priceless collection of fine art, tapestries and porcelain. Indulge in an afternoon cream tea at the Terrace Cafe, take a wander through the beautiful grounds of the estate and the pretty walled garden centre, followed perhaps by a visit to the stately homes of Manderston,Mellerstain, Paxton House or Abbotsford which are all within a half hour drive.

The area has endless opportunities for walking and cycling with hundreds of miles of quiet country lanes, way-marked routes and forest trails to explore from short gentle meanders to long distance trails, taking in the outstanding scenery of the Cheviot Hills, the Pennine Way and Dere Street. The Borders Abbeys Way takes in the magnificent monastic ruins of Kelso Abbey, while the Kelso to Roxburgh circular is a scenic 3 hour walking route taking in historic sites of interest and plenty of wildlife spotting opportunities along the way.

For family friendly activities, Shedden Park has a play park, skate park and plenty of green open space for running around, while a swimming pool, fitness studio, gym, and tennis courts all sit just a five minute walk from the property. The town has an ice-rink which is open during the winter months for curling and skating, and a dance studio sits nearby with everything from hip-hop to jazz.

A half-hour will take you to the wonderful heritage coastline with miles of deserted golden sands perfect for rest or play, while the cultural city of Edinburgh is just an hour’s drive where you can take advantage of events such as the vibrant Edinburgh Fringe Festival, exceptional Jazz & Blues Festival, or simply a day-out exploring the exquisite historical architecture of this beautiful city.

The friendly and flexible approach of both Crabtree & Crabtree and the owners made the booking and arrival process easy and straightforward. We appreciated the home🏡  made cake and biscuits and all the other items provided for our comfort. Truly excellent customer care ! Thank you."

Mr & Mrs Pettigrew

"Thank you - we had a lovely stay in a wonderful house. Well kitted out out with everything we could need. The house was spotless and we really appreciated the extra touches such as the wine and the delicious carrot cake. Hope to visit again."

Ms Dickson

"We have stayed at Junction House for the second year running and have loved it and Kelso enormously. So much so we have booked again for next year.

A very comfortable, well equipped house with fabulous views over the river Tweed and across the fields beyond. Ideally located for the town and local amenities it has everything to offer for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The cake, biscuits and marmalade provided by Rachel were outstanding and the free welcoming goodies in the fridge were much appreciated. Beds, pillows and furnishings were comfortable and added to the comfort. Thank you again."

Williams Party

"Just a short note to say that we had a brilliant stay at Junction House. So much so we’ve booked again next year. There is lots to see and do for all ages in the area and then return back to this beautiful well equipped holiday house. Charlie and Rachel are excellent hosts who clearly have a passion for what they do. We were grateful for all the little treats, especially the home baked cake.

Thank you to the Crabtree team too for all your help which made booking so easy."

Cable Family

"We had a wonderful holiday. The property was top notch. We couldn't have wanted more. Spotlessly clean and everything had been thought about from a fabulous welcome pack to a pair of binoculars for watching the wildlife out of the window."

Mr & Mrs Usher

"The four of us had a wonderful week at Junction House in Kelso. The house was very well equipped, very comfortable in all of the rooms and very well situated in a prime location in the town. We had a very warm welcome from the owners who spoilt us with some lovely shortbread biscuits and a very tasty sponge cake waiting for us on our arrival. Kelso itself is a lovely town with plenty to do and see and the centre and town square were only a short walk away. The gorgeous views from the lounge and terrace kept us occupied with the abundance of nature on our doorstep and were the icing on the cake. In summary, a wonderful place to stay in a great location. We have booked again next year."

Mr Williams

"We had a brilliant stay at Junction House. Exceptionally clean, beautifully furnished, so comfy and the view of river and fields was amazing. We loved the extras: wine, bread, coffee, butter, orange juice etc. Especially the very much appreciated homemade lemon and blueberry cake and shortbread. Very friendly owners its lovely to see they take care of their property (and visitors)."

"Everything was spot on from the ad, to the booking process, to extending our stay and questions being answered. The accommodation was perfect - location, quality, cleanliness, what was provided and welcome - from delicious cake, biscuits and more to the owners warm welcome. We were extremely comfortable with excellent beds and bedding (pillows were lovely!). My father was very happy to have Sky TV and I was delighted to have a good wifi so I could work from 'home'. We all left wonderfully relaxed and planning our next visit. We have had another excellent experience with Crabtree & Crabtree and have found our Kelso home! Thank you to all."

Kitchener family

"We were wholly satisfied with the house. It was well equipped and of a superb standard, particularly the interior design. Wifi was good and the provision of desk/consoles in a couple of rooms was helpful for those of us who had a bit of work to do. Separate TV area a good idea and provision of binoculars for those wanting to feast on the view a nice touch. Welcome cake, biscuits, bread and wine were delicious and hugely appreciated. The owner was a superbly thoughtful, responsive and generous host."

Brown family

"This was our 13th visit to Junction House and it is just as fabulous as the first time we visited. The owners are just brilliant and it was great to catch up with them again during our stay.

Mrs Broadhead

"We went for a family break and everyone enjoyed their stay. We had picked the property especially for the view and and it certainly lived up to our expectation - there is nothing quite like seeing at least half a dozen swans magnificently flying past as you looked out!The accommodation was lovely - a well thought out renovation with balconies to enjoy the views, very comfortable beds with good quality bed linen/ duvets, nice furnishings, very well equipped."
