We have had the best time away at the perfect property, with the group ranging in age from mid-30s to almost 100.

Lovely stay in the Old Smithy

Really well equipped property, Gail is a super host who has thought of everything. Her little touches show her pride in the property and make you feel instantly welcome. Loads of room for a party of 6, I didn't take my dogs but they'd have loved it! The setting is beautiful but you really need a car to fully explore the area and make the most of what is on offer. Would highly recommend this property and this host

Wonderful place to stay

Booked to spend time with our 2 Daughters, their partners and our Grandson. Very pleasantly surprised by this well stocked property. A real home from home and a very comfortable stay for 6 adults and a baby. The small touches were much appreciated, and the large enclosed garden was great for our Daughters 2 dogs and enjoyed by ourselves for some garden games. The outside space was also large enough for 3 cars. Highly recommended, and would love to stay again to explore the area more. We visited Floors Castle gardens for a lovely walk but there are lots of interesting places within an hours drive.

Immaculate property inside and out with very welcoming hosts. There is nothing to fault in this property. Everything you require is available and the host is very helpful.

Wonderful short stay

The property is exceptional! Every single thing you could want or wish for are included. Similar properties often require purchasing a few bits and pieces mostly for the kitchen, but we had no such issues here and the welcome packs for us and our dog were a very generous extra! The property is cozy and comforting a proper home from home, the garden is also exceptional with plenty of room for our dog to have a run and stretch his legs. Communication with the host was perfect and they could not have done more for us! Set in a lovely village the property is the perfect base for exploring the surrounding border towns or heading over to the east coast beaches etc. Highly recommended!

A wonderful short stay

We stayed at this property for two nights in October. We were given a very warm welcome upon arrival and shown how to use all of the equipment within the cottage. The cottage was very well equipped with everything you'd need and more. The welcome hamper and delicious cake in the fridge were an added bonus. The garden was immaculate and absolutely beautiful - our dogs and toddlers very much enjoyed playing in it. After staying in many cottages over the years this one was the cleanest we have ever stayed in - it was absolutely immaculate with not a single fault to be found. Whilst here we enjoyed trips into Kelso and found walking along the river bank beautiful and peaceful. We hope to come back again in the future.

Sobre o anfitrião

Anfitrião: Gail Clarkson

Imagem do perfil do anfitrião
Myself and My husband (Adrian) both worked for the NHS for over 25 years. We decided to have a change of life and move to the Scottish Borders to live "our dream". We moved here in August 2017 to take over an already established holiday let and have such fantastic feedback on the changes we have made and the service that we offer. We have been awarded the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for 2018 and 2019 and the new Travellers Choice was for 2020 and 2021.

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

We are a self-catering accommodation, with the amenities you need to rest and recuperate. From our bed linens to our coffee makers, we have thought of your every need. Our guests should want for nothing; our responsibility as a fine self-catering accommodation within Kelso is to accommodate you appropriately!

Our cottage is equally sustainable for one guest and an entire family. Bookings of all sizes are welcome.

Fall in love with our excellent amenities; we go beyond the essentials of a microwave, cooker and dryer. Enjoy WiFi, HiFi and even a Dolce Gusto machine with us! We’ve really thought of it all. We are confident you’ll adore all that we have to offer.

And, the fact that our cottage is as beautiful inside as it is out is an added bonus! Our interior décor reflects the outstanding natural beauty of Kelso, and we have worked hard to combine the most stunning of traditional and contemporary design. Your comfort and enjoyment is our priority. We value you, and always go the extra mile to ensure you see our self-catering accommodation as the perfect ‘home away from home.’

This is also why we advertise ourselves as a dog friendly accommodation! Your dog is as much a member of the family as you are, and so they are more than welcome to stay with us. It can be difficult to find places to stay that accommodate your four-legged friend, but we are dog lovers ourselves; we understand how hard it can be to leave a dog behind, so we won’t make you!. At a charge of £20.00 per dog per stay (payable in cash on arrival) is a small price to pay, knowing that you four legged friend is having a good time.

Kelso is the perfect place for a dog to roam and explore, with fun-filled attractions and walking routes for you to enjoy. At our cottage, we even have a sizeable enclosed garden, one your dog is sure to enjoy!

The whole family can rest and relax in our cottage as there is plenty of open plan space for adults and children alike.
