"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, and there's off-street parking. The huge windows are another feature, flooding the rooms with natural light."

The Old Priory Bed and Breakfast is in a Grade B listed building, which was built in 1796 by Henry Swan who was a writer (solicitor), as either an office or as his home next to his office.
The Old Priory Bed and Breakfast is a classic Georgian Town House sitting in two worlds, the frontage is on Woodmarket while the rear overlooks the Old Parish Church in Abbey Row, the Abbey and Abbey grounds are just at the end of Abbey Row.
Sir Walter Scott's Great Grandfather was born in the building next door, and Sir Walter Scott stayed with his Aunt in a house just round the corner whilst going to school in Kelso.
Our Bed and Breakfasts walled Garden provides off road parking and a haven in the town for our guests.
