We stated in The Bowmont Room for one night in September.
The Bowmont is a charming room full of character that is situated on the ground floor of another house close to Duncan House.
The location, parking and facilities are perfect.
Breakfast in the beautiful main house is fantastic.  
We loved our stay which was made exceptional by the hospitality of our hosts.
Highly recommended for a stay in Kelso


Perfect for a relaxing weekend

This is a lovely, quirky bed and breakfast, very close to the centre of Kelso. Everyone was very friendly, and the breakfast was very good. However, the bed in my room was incredibly hard and uncomfortable and I struggled to sleep, which has meant a lower score. 
My friends stayed in a premium room, which they said was very comfortable, but I would expect the bed to be comfortable even in a smaller standard room really.

Lovely place, good breakfast, friendly people, bed was uncomfortable

Oh I'm really torn on how to review this place I was bouncing between a 3 and a 4. There were some great features such as wonderful views from the Teviot room across the river, and down to Floors Castle. The room had such attractive furniture and was very spacious. The breakfast selection was great! 

But!

It just feels like cleanliness and maintenance has slipped a bit. The mugs in the room looked like they needed a good scrub. The rug in the room seemed to be marked and was rucked up so a bit of a trip hazard. The plug sockets in the room did not seem to be well anchored into the walls . The shower in the bathroom - I could no way make the really fancy overhead shower work, so had to use the hand held one. The large shared table for breakfast felt very uncomfortable in post-Covid times, as there didn't seem to be a system to stagger people arriving (I had telephoned them to ask if an 8am breakfast was ok, and they said it was) , so everyone was there at pretty much the same time.

Beautiful views... but

Stayed over for 1 night in family room. Lovely big room only trouble was water pressure but it was on top floor. 
Super dog friendly & lovely helpful staff 
Made us feel welcome and very helpful with things to do around area. 
Great location for shops, local attractions & waterside walks & views.

Dog friendly

We spent 6 enjoyable nights at Duncan House. We were upgraded to a beautiful large room, with a comfortable 4 poster bed, lots storage space and nice pictures. The view from the windows of the river and Floors castle was glorious and we often watched ducklings cruising down the river.
  The only snag was the shower room and a lack of a bath plug. There was only a hand held shower in the bath and no plug in the bath. The weather was quite cold, when we were there, so taking showers was rather a chilly experience
 We also had initial problems with windows, which were left wide open and could not be easily closed and we woke up quite cold the first morning.  We asked for the 3 windows in our bedroom to be closed, with the window in the bathroom propped half open with a wooden prop. This produced a good balance between air circulation and comfort.
The breakfast was large and excellent. 


A very pleasant  6 night stay .

We only stayed one night here but would love to have stayed longer. Kelso is a beautiful town and Duncan House is a lovely place to stay. A good quality old fashioned but stylish B&B  offering good service, comfort, wonderful views and an excellent breakfast. 

Beautiful views 

We have been shielding and climbing the walls. We saw the reviews for this place and called up to book the room with the 4 poster bed. It was awesome. Dog friendly so wee Columbo came and he loved it too. A roll top bath was the icing on the cake....the views from the room were amazing and we felt so at ease....but the breakfast....it was heavenly.....we will be back!

Lockdown Break

Really great Guest House, a real find. Uniquely furnished rooms making the place feel really homely.  Beautiful old house (with discrete mod cons) feels like a scaled Dow country house .  Great views of the river from the (top floor) rooms 
Wonderfully cooked breakfast served in very  grand dining room.  
Will definitely be back for longer stay next time.

Pleasant Surprise

Wonderful Place to stay, within a few minutes walk of the centre of town, a beautiful property with a rustic vibe and spectacular view onto the tweed and surrounding areas. Home is very cosy and well kept with a delicious breakfast available each morning.

Plenty of scenic walks and activities in the local area that will keep you entertained.

Wonderful Place to return after a day exploring the local area !

Would highly recommend!  Excellent value, stunning accommodation, dog friendly and great service.

The b&b was beautiful throughout, each room we saw had been beautifully decorated with the theme.  The deluxe room was gorgeous, and very spacious - perfect for us as a couple with a dog.  The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious and substantial.

The only criticism is there was a bit of 'roughness' around the edges, as is perhaps to be  expected with an old, character property - a plug socket was a bit loose, possibly due to issues with the wallpaper.  The cleaning of the room during our stay could possibly have been a bit more thorough as well.
