A superb, Grade 'B' listed, 18th Century townhouse of great historical interest, being the first hospital in Kelso and only the second in Scotland. Furnished and equipped to a high standard, the house has a great deal of charm and character and offers extremely spacious accommodation for 10 guests over three floors enhanced by many delightful period features and antique furnishings. The property boasts stunning views over the legendary Junction beat of the River Tweed to the rolling hills beyond.

 

The highlight for many is the magnificent dining / billiard room with a three quarter size billiard table which can be transformed into a fabulous dining table.  Equally, the large (21') drawing room is a fabulous place to watch the river go by or indulge in a few after dinner games! 

 

Outside, the delightful, sunny garden is a lovely place to relax and watch the wildlife on the river or see the fishermen try their luck on the legendary junction beat of the River Tweed which runs close to the bottom of the garden.


The picturesque town of Kelso lies at the junction of the Rivers Tweed and Teviot and was described by Sir Walter Scott as "the most beautiful, if not the most romantic village in Scotland." Today Kelso remains one of the most attractive and unspoilt towns in the Borders, with a Flemish-style cobbled square, a 12th Century abbey, the majestic Floors Castle and a graceful five-arched Tweed bridge, a model for London's Waterloo Bridge and the championship Roxburghe golf course.


The town has some interesting shops - a fabulous deli and butchers, excellent fish monger, woollen shops, country sports shops and an art gallery to name but a few - as well as a good selection of lively pubs and restaurants often with live music. As well as regular National Hunt Racing, Kelso hosts a number of interesting events throughout the year including the Borders Agricultural Show.
