About this property
Abbotsford is a well-presented semi-detached holiday home set in Kelso, offering a comfortable stay for up to six guests. Step inside to a welcoming sitting room, a pleasant place to unwind after exploring the town’s characterful square and riverside walks, before moving through to the kitchen/diner, where you’ll find everything needed to prepare and enjoy meals together at a relaxed pace. The property hosts three king-size bedrooms, each offering a smart and restful space for families or groups of friends. Two shower rooms, both fitted with walk-in showers, basins and WCs, help keep things running smoothly when everyone’s getting ready. Outside, the enclosed rear patio and gravelled area provide a simple spot to sit out and enjoy a bit of fresh air.
Off-road and roadside parking options add flexibility, and with a shop and pub just a short stroll away, you’re well covered for both essentials and an easy meal out. From the doorstep, Kelso offers plenty to explore, from its cobbled streets to the remains of Kelso Abbey. Within driving distance, Jedburgh is known for its historic abbey and museums, while Wooler provides access to the walking routes of Northumberland National Park and the Cheviot Hills. Closer to home, visitors can explore the grand Floors Castle, wander stretches of the Borders Abbeys Way, or enjoy a quieter pace at Teviot Water Gardens.
Abbotsford makes a great base for discovering this characterful part of the Scottish Borders.
Kelso is a lovely tranquil Borders town at the meeting point of the Tweed and Teviot rivers, with a cobbled town square and streets, and an array of stunning Georgian buildings, and a wealth of gorgeous countryside around it. Take time out to visit Floors Castle, a very prominent Stately Home with restaurants and gardens, designed by William Adam. Also close by are Mellerstain House, Kelso Abbey and the Kelso races. Mellerstain House is a stunning example of Georgian architecture at its finest. Designed by the architect William Adam and his son Robert in 1725, it is the residence of the 13th Earl of Haddington. The house is located within 80 acres of luscious rolling parkland and is in walking distance of Smailholm Tower, the ancestral home of Sir Walter Scott. Great fishing can be enjoyed on the Teviot, Tweed and Jed rivers and there are many excellent golf courses to choose from. Watch the spectacular and historic Common Ridings, held at Kelso, Hawick, Selkirk, Langholm, Lauder and others, with long histories. The Borders also offer some superb walking and cycling, be it on the coast, over the breathtaking hillsides or amongst the enchanting Border forests. The towns of Coldstream, Jedburgh, Kirk Yetholm and Wooler are just a short drive away and are a joy to explore at leisure.
