Kelso is just minutes away offering an excellent range of independent shops, charming coffee & tearooms, restaurants and hotels. Floors Castle is also on the outskirts of Kelso and is well worth a visit to see the House, gardens and not to forget the Castle Kitchen Deli & Shop for delicious seasonal menus or treats to homemade produce to take away.

Coronavirus

We are following advice from the Scottish Government to minimise the risk of the spread of coronavirus. If preferred, I can leave your cottage unlocked for your arrival and you can phone me with any questions. We will leave instructions for the equipment in the cottage for you. I have purchased extra duvets and pillows so we can change duvets, pillows, mattress protectors (as well as bed linen and towels) between guests. We will carry out extra cleaning as per the very detailed protocol from the Scottish Government. I have completed the recommended cleaning/ disinfection training as recommended for holiday cottage cleaners. We will be closed for a night between guests, to let the cottage ’air’ and to allow me time to carry out the extra cleaning. This has already been blocked out. The laundry room with the washing machine and tumble drier, books and games will be closed to guests until we are advised otherwise. Please let me know if you would like to borrow a couple of specific games for the duration of your stay.
