"Just to say how much we enjoyed celebrating New Year in Kelso. We couldn’t have asked for a better property or location. The space was ideal for the 8 of us, with plenty of room for smaller conversations and a lovely sized dining area. We found the kitchen to be very well equipped and certainly made good use of the wine fridges! For me, the beautiful festive decorations were the icing on the cake. Truly memorable. We also enjoyed exploring the area and had a lovely walk up to the Waterloo monument. It was very muddy but we’ll worth it for the views. The rivers were impressive in full flow but we’ll have to return in better weather to walk along their banks. I’m sure we’ll be using Crabtree & Crabtree again!"
Ms Goode"Where to start?
First of all, after a wait of over three years (we originally booked our holiday at Coledale Stables in February 2019) we ALL made it to Kelso and had a wonderful, restful, stress-free holiday. Once again, the team at Crabtree & Crabtree were so helpful and easy to deal with. In fact, it wasn’t only the C&C team – everyone in Kelso seemed so welcoming and friendly. After the couple of years we’ve all had it was a real tonic.
The property itself was superb. The layout was perfect for our group of friends – we all had our own space but also enough space to be sociable and to cook & eat together comfortably. We also loved the wall-of-map! As promised in the description we didn’t run out of hot water at any point and we took full advantage of the excellent showers and massive baths. The beds were incredibly comfortable and we couldn’t believe how quiet it was, tucked away in the courtyard – despite being only minutes from the town square."
Mercer Family"We had a lovely time at Coledale Stables. The property was very comfortable and accommodated our party well. We were very central to everything we needed and wouldn’t hesitate to re book should we venture that way again. We would highly recommend Crabtree & Crabtree lettings for their services, they were very easy to deal with from start to finish. We will most certainly look at booking again through them as the properties they deal with appear to be of good quality and comfort."
Mrs Wardle & family"Having just returned home from a stay at Coledale Stables I'd like to say what a great time we had there. The house is stunning and very comfortable with everything you need, a true home from home. Also, as a family, we wouldn't hesitate in using Crabtree & Crabtree in the future if this is an example of the standard of your properties. From the initial booking through to our stay everything went very smoothly, many thanks."
Monaghan family"We had a wonderful time at Coledale Stables, it was a beautiful house one of the best we have stayed in and would love to return one day, our New Year with our family was amazing! As always Crabtree & Crabtree were very helpful and professional!"
Brierley family"Just wanted to let you know that we had a great weekend at Coledale Stables. It's a beautiful house, we loved the location and hope to make a return visit in the future."
Watret family"We had a wonderful stay at Coledale Stables & are also grateful for the ease of booking arrangements through yourselves. We found the house to be extremely comfortable & stylish & particularly enjoyed its ideal setting within Kelso which is a wonderful base. The house is so spacious that it easily accommodated our three generations."
Tait Family"Just a note to say that we had a great time at Coledale Stables. It was a spectacular venue in lovely surroundings with plenty space for everyone. The weather was good and so we had all the windows open and enjoyed the sunshine inside and out. The cottage was beautifully decorated with lovely supplies and the welcome basket was an extra treat."
Black family"Thank you for your friendly and efficient service, from dropping into your office at the end of October to our recent stay. Coledale Stables exceeded our expectations. We spent a fabulous family weekend in this stunning house. Everything was perfect - Kelso even laid on sunshine for our visit! See you again soon."
