Ednam House Hotel

Where the rivers Tweed and Teviot meet, flanked by rolling hills, rugged coastline and open moorland lies Kelso, an ancient town that Sir Walter Scott once called “the most beautiful” in all of Scotland. You’ll find it in Roxburghshire, a county rich with majestic landscapes and a colourful past, castles and stately houses steeped in history, pretty cobbled streets with traditional markets, local delicacies and luxurious textiles. Add to this some of the world’s best salmon fishing, golf courses, hiking and cycle trails and it’s clear to see why so many succumb to the charms of the Scottish Borders.

In the heart of Kelso, but surrounded by tranquil parkland on the banks of the River Tweed, lies the elegant Ednam House Hotel. Built in 1761, it combines the convenience of a town centre location with the luxury of three acres of riverside gardens to explore, providing a mix of homely relaxation, fine dining in its AA rosette-awarded restaurant and the warmest of welcomes.

You'll find everything you need for a perfect night’s rest and a comfortable stay in one of our 33 bedrooms.

Each has been individually styled, and all feature the finest cotton bedlinen, flat screen televisions, direct-dial telephones, superfast Wi-Fi and complimentary tea and coffee making facilities.

Just a stone’s throw from the main hotel building, our newly refurbished Orangery provides the ultimate in secluded relaxation. With uninterrupted river views, king-sized beds and elegant interiors these rooms have that little extra wow factor for a special occasion or a romantic break.

Awarded an AA Rosette for excellence, our Restaurant uses the best local produce from the Scottish Borders and you can expect a warm Scottish welcome to our hotel lounge bar.

Ednam House occupies a prime spot on the River Tweed overlooking the Junction Pool, one of the most celebrated salmon beats in the UK. With facilities for the safe storage of your equipment and your catch, a drying room and little black book of expert local guides, Ednam has long been a popular choice for fishermen.

Situated on the banks of the River Tweed, Kelso is full of architectural and historic interest. Home to many specialist independent shops and a packed schedule of town events, there’s always plenty to do in and around Scotland’s ‘most beautiful’ town. It’s also ideally located to explore the Scottish Borders, the Berwickshire Coast and North Northumberland. Here are some of our favourite things to do in the area.

Dogs are charged at £20.00 per dog per night subject to availability.
