Traditional Borders Bed & Breakfast Hospitality
  Home | About Us | Rooms | Tariff | Kelso Area | Local Links | Contact Us

Robin, Susan Girdwood and their family would like to extend a warm welcome to all guests and visitors to The Old Priory Bed and Breakfast, our family home. and to our beautiful town of Kelso, the cobbled town, in the heart of the Scottish Borders. The Borders is a beautiful if largely undiscovered part or Scotland, and in many ways we like to keep it a little bit secret, but it is not as VisitScotland describe “The shortbreak destination of Scotland” when you come here there is a wealth of history to keep you in the area for many days. Most people,who discover the Borders come back year after year.

We offer traditional bed and breakfast hospitality, a family atmosphere, with a friendly, relaxed feel in a very atmospheric and comfortable enviroment.

This website should help you to decide if The Old Priory meets your needs, but if you have any questions
please just contact us.

Our rooms are considered to be what hotels call superior and we aim to provide a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. We are centrally situated, within a short walk from all of the towns restaurants, for wedding guests Ednam House is only 100 yards, a quick totter on high heels! We do suggest that wedding guests book two days as early arrival cannot be guaranteed.During the summer months we ask that a minimum of two nights is booked at weekends.

Hopefully your first visit to us will not be your last!

We have a very flexible layout and can accommodate most parties. We have twin beds, doubles and the Family Suite. We find that this is particularly useful for fishing, walking and golfing parties. Our Sitting Room provides a huge space in which to have a glass of wine while you plan your next outing. The Sitting Room overlooks the garden and the church. The garden is enclosed and we encourage guests to use it.
Our Bed and Breakfasts walled garden provides off road parking and a haven in the town for our guests. Kelso is a vibrant town with events such as the Jim Clark Rally, Border Union Show, Civic Week, Regular Horse Race Meetings, British Motorcycle Federation Show and many more events
throughout the year.





*“The doubles in this atmospheric place are fantastic and the family room has to be seen to be believed; rooms are both sumptuous and debonair with gorgeous dark polished wood pieces. The good news extends to
the garden – perfect for a coffee in the morning,the most comfortable Sitting Room and there’s off-street parking. The huge windows are another feature, flooding the rooms with natural light.”*

Message from former guest which amused us greatly

Dear Robin,
That wasn’t good news! And how can we go anywhere else having stayed
at The Old Priory. I could tell you about the place we stayed in a few
weeks after yours last year but I have tried to erase all memories of
it!!

Can we try again, how about Friday 30th and Saturday 31st August or if
that is not available Friday 9th and Saturday 10th August? If they are
not available then Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd June?

If all else fails then perhaps you could build an extension

Kind regards,

Emma

Emma and Nigel
