No 1 The Turret

This three storey house is quite superb. It was our 2nd visit here, and we will certainly return when we can. Very high quality throughout and extremely well appointed. Clean, light, airy and spacious. Thoughtful touches in every room (like the new chair in the lounge Nikki. 😊 ) making The Turret a real 5 star home from home property. Kelso Border Retreats have clearly invested heavily in this site, but to be honest, we have stayed in a few of their properties now, and they are all superb. Fantastic 'Festive' welcome pack and lovely Christmas Tree provided by charming and helpful host, Nikki, along with a quite beautiful front door wreath...!! There were only 2 of us, but The Turret sleeps up to 6 people very comfortably. Brilliant WiFi, superb smart TV and stunning Sonos sound system in kitchen..!! Ample off road parking outside front door, and the house is centrally located for every amenity Kelso has to offer. Only a 2 or 3 minute stroll to Kelso Town Square. Safe-key entry system for simple straight forward access upon arrival. All round fantastic house which one could quite easily live in permanently... If you choose to stay here, you will not be disappointed... We will be back, soon we hope.. 🤞

There is nothing we did not like in No 1 The Turret 🙂

Location,beautiful house,parking onsite. Genuinely lovely place.

Would have like mirrors in all of the bedrooms and maybe an extra TV for my PS5 mad 11 year old 😊

Central location, fantastic welcome pack., cosy and comfy beds.

Birthday balloon for 90th birthday and flowers made it a v special welcome. Very clean and modern. So close to town and of course it snowed too. Good cooking facilities

Nothing

Very clean and comfortable property. An excellent location in the town.

It is not the easiest place to be self catering. The food preparation area is not very big. It could do with a few simple things like an oven glove and a dustpan and brush. There is also no recycling bin outside.

Brilliant beds, overhall decor great and newly refurbished

We fixed a number of issues when there by there was an issue with maintence Most rads were full of air (I bled some of them) The toilet roll holder in the bathroom was off One of the kitchen cupboards was broken at the hinge (we fixed it) There were brown stains in the carpet outside the bathroom door (we cleaned them) There is a large section of gutter to the rear missing which discharges water None of the extractors work which will chase condensation build up in the bathroom and WC

The Turret was a sudden booking g change by Booking.com, from a property in Melrose, which we hD booked a while back and which was suddenly cancelled by Booking at the twelth hour- to rehpuse us in Kelso at The Turret. This proved well located, beautifully furnished, the beds were fresh and utterly comfortable. Stylish indeed! We went to Melrose and saw that our original accommodation was occupied. And we were glad they double booked us and sent us to Kelso.

Steven wished there had been a cafetiere! Nicky supplied one the next day

This property is excellent! We are extremely happy with our stay. The property even offers private parking. Beds are really comfortable and house is furnished with really good furniture Tv with Netflix and Amazon prime. Couldn't ask for more We loved this property!
