Ednam House Hotel

Kelso, Scottish Borders

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.

A stately Georgian country house in Kelso with River Tweed views, where the bar, the lounge and three acres of riverside gardens are all open to dogs.

Ornate plasterwork ceilings, carved doors, fireplaces and stonework crafted by artisans of the late 1700s fill Ednam House, a stately Georgian country house on Bridge Street in Kelso, in the Scottish Borders. With three acres of riverside gardens for your dog and restorative views over the River Tweed from many of its rooms, it makes a dog friendly hotel with real character and an easy base for Border country.

Dog friendly bedrooms are spread throughout the hotel among its 33 rooms, each individually styled and dressed in fine cotton bedlinen, so ask the hotel which bedrooms are dog friendly when you book. Double River View rooms have fine furnishings and antique furniture, the four Principal Bedrooms keep their original plasterwork and marble fireplaces, and there is a ground floor bedroom with a walk-in shower. Ednam House doesn't state a dog limit per bedroom, nor if a dog can stay put there solo while you are out, so check both with the team.

Dogs are also permitted in the bar and lounge areas. The hotel doesn't say where a dog may join you for a meal, so ask before reserving a table. The Bar & Teviot Menu serves classic favourites with an Ednam twist, and afternoon tea brings finger sandwiches, homemade savouries, freshly baked cakes and pastries and warm scones with the hotel's own jam, butter and clotted cream.

Guests come to fish the salmon beats, play a few rounds of golf or ride the bike trails. With your dog, the riverside gardens are the first stop, and Kelso and Roxburgh Circular, the Wildpack walk nearest Ednam House, is 0.1 miles away.
