*Luxurious, welcoming, excellent holiday”
The Old Priory Bed and Breakfast*

We have just returned from staying here for a friend’s wedding when we booked out all of the rooms for the weekend – what a great place! Robin, our host, was very attentive, our rooms were spacious, individually designed and with great attention to detail eg: chocolates and lovely teas in the room, very good quality fittings, most comfortable, huge beds. The family room is like a suite, two double bedrooms. Would definitely return – an exceptional Bed and Breakfast.

“The gold standard of bed and breakfast”
The Old Priory Bed and Breakfast

Just returned from a wonderful visit to Scotland and truly one of the highlights was our stay at The Old Priory. This B&B is now the gold standard for all that will follow. Never have we felt so welcomed and pampered. The rooms are clean, fresh and beautifully decorated, with luxurious beds and a fabulous lounge. The food was delicious and the garden delightful. But, for us, the most memorable part of our experience was the generosity of spirit displayed by our hosts, the owners Robin and Sue. Their kindness towards us made us feel truly welcomed, pampered and special. Although we now far away we look forward to returning someday to visit the beautiful region of Kelso and this very, very special place – The Old Priory.
