We loved the cottage, it was in a perfect location and we thought Kelso was lovely!We explored castles and enjoyed lovely walks and new towns.The cottage was extremely well equipped and in particular we enjoyed the beautiful kitchen (as we did a lot of cooking) and the wood burning stove which we lit each evening.Just for note we couldn’t find a cheese grater but maybe we just didn’t look hard enough.Thank you for having us.

I have stayed at a lot of VRBO‘s. This was definitely a highlight. The hosts made us feel very welcome with a welcome basket and the house is incredibly cute. I would definitely stay here again in the future.
