Very Good

This Hotel is a very good stopping-off point in the Borders. It's a good value 3 star hotel in a great location on the banks of the River Tweed, a short walk from Kelso's old town square. We have stayed here three times on our way to the Highlands, and will do so again.

Absolutely wonderful hotel, staff super friendly and helpful and the overall setting was just beautiful. The food was incredible 😄 will stay again!
Beautiful property. Upon retrospect, we probably would have enjoyed booking one of the higher priced room to get the full experience rather than the standard room up on the attic floor.
Hotel is conveniently located in the attractive town centre where there is a good selection of restaurants and cafes. Good views at the back of the river.
Breakfast was very good.the room was very clean.great bed.great shower. Pleasant staff. We love staying at ednam house.this was our 4th time. We take our dog with us.

Lovely charming hotel in a nice town. The staff were very friendly and the room with a view of the river was fabulous.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel, although dated, was lovely and rooms (riverview) were lovely. Couldn’t fault anything and we will definitely be back.
We stayed in Ednam on a stopover for one night.
The room was good and clean. We had a meal in the bar and this was good but could have done with a bigger menu.
The staff were excellent and we would stay again
