  We had such a wonderful time in this beautiful house!

  We could not fault anything at all! The hosts were the most kind and attentive people that you could meet and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. Arron was fascinating to chat with - explaining to us the history of the local area, where to go to see the local sights and I found my family had lots of shared interests with her - which some of the conversations were intriguing! The house was spotlessly clean with everything inside that you may need plus more! Lovely touches such as bottled water, toiletries, plenty of towels and a delightful welcome hamper. It was extremely spacious and all though there was 8 adults, we did not feel at any time cramped in. Plenty of privacy as well as very large social areas. And then there is the gardens - astonishingly beautiful! We were lucky enough to sit in the garden a couple of evenings due to warm weather and it was so peaceful. Well cut lawns surrounded by the most perfect flowers which is all tended to by the hosts. Arron and John allow two well-behaved dogs so we had our two collies with us and they were also very much welcomed. We cannot thank you both enough and we definitely will be back to continue with the conversations.

  Stayed here from the 10th to 12th November 23 as a weekend family away to celebrate a family members 30th birthday.

  We were met by the owners upon arrival who ensured we were happy before leaving us to it. The house is lovely, well equipped with American style Fridge Freezer, induction hob and double oven. The kitchen has an integrated washing machine and dishwasher and the owner even left washing tablets for both. The kitchen area , which has 2 dining tables easily accommodated the 11 people in our party. The house has a large living room, cloakroom with WC, 2 further bathrooms off the hallway and 6 bedrooms , 4 of which have en-suite facilities all on the one level. The house is sat in well maintained grounds and is a stone throw from the River Tweed. The owners also pointed us in the direction of a lovely walk which was beautiful at this time of year. Peebles is around 3.5 miles away (10 minutes by car) I wouldn't hesitate recommending the property , we'll definitely be back in the future! Thanks again to the owners for making us feel welcome !

  Really lovely place to stay, extremely clean comfortable and finishing touches are beautiful throughout.

  Pictures actually do not do it justice to be honest it’s a lot bigger than it looks and the kitchen is more beautiful in real life. Plenty of everything for use glasses, cutlery, plates etc. Wee garden is a lovely touch if the weather is nice just to sit and have a drink really peaceful and quiet. The cottage is situated on the main road and parking is free either on or across the road which is fantastic. However it is a main road and can be busy with traffic and cars pulling up to park and use the shop/takeaways but it is nice to a see a busy town. As the cottage window is lower people cannot directly see in the window and with the windows closed you do not hear them it did not bother us however I can see how it could if you are fussy. The cottage is really handy for everything if you’ve had a long day you are 1 minute to any of the food places and the shop is next door. Would recommend :)

  Fantastic Apartment in a great location.

  Very impressed from the moment we entered the property. The property is spacious and finished to an exceptionally high standard and Karen has thought of everything from the soft furnishing, elegant decoration, comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen to the luxurious bathrooms. The photos on Sykes do not do this property justice. The location is perfect, in the centre of Kelso with views onto the Abbey. Karen kept in touch throughout the booking in process to ensure everything was to our satisfaction and left us a lovely welcome basket too. We had a fantastic weekend and are already talking about our next visit Kelso with the intention of staying in this property. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Kelso.

  We had a wonderful stay here at The Antlers.

  I came for the week for some much needed R and R, and because it's not too far from home, invited family to come and go as they pleased to join me on walks or for a delicious curry next door! The house was clean and cosy, and perfectly situated in the town for everything we needed. LOVED having the co-op next door! A great location for walks in North Northumberland or exploring the lovely Border towns. Thank you for the delicious basket of goodies and for providing everything we needed for a perfect stay. I'd love to come back and would recommend to friends. Only improvement might be to provide wi-fi. I wasn't bothered as the 4g was excellent, but it would be useful for anyone needing to do any computer work.
