No 1 The Turret

Good central location fof touring the area. Access to numerous eating locations and shops.

Appliance instruction books would be useful. Also should have warned that the tap in the bathroom was the wrong way round. More bins and mirrors would have been useful for a cottage that could sleep 6. Also the number of toilet rolls and dishwasher tablets was not sufficient. When on holiday you do not want to have to shop for household basics.

The Turret, an ideally situated, spacious, well equipped holiday home. Fantastic !! 😃

There was nothing I didn’t like, it was absolutely perfect !

It was very well equipped and furnished. We were given a very varied and good welcome pack. The heating and electricity were included.

One small suggestion. A non slip bath mat and a safety grab rail in the shower would be an added improvement. And an arm chair would improve the seating in the sitting room.

clean, modern and in a central location

We liked absolutely everything in this hosted accommodation. Key Safe system worked to perfection. We stayed over Christmas 2022 and the place was quite fabulous. Spacious, light, airy, and finished to a 5 star spec. and beyond. "Sonos" speaker system in kitchen was an absolute revelation.... I love music again...!!! Very nice 'quality' extra. Smart TV with NETFLIX and Amazon PRIME ready to go. Seamless... Marvelous (real) beautifully decorated Christmas Tree. Rather exquisite Christmas welcome basket, verging on a 'Hamper'.. In a word...., SUPERB.. Location wise, this property is perfectly located for every amenity and facility in the lovely Scottish Borders Town of Kelso. Not too far from anything, but still beautifully quiet in it's own way. And free parking for up to 2 vehicles.. Spot on... 🙂 We would have stayed longer if it had been possible. Absolutely without question, we will go back to No 1 The Turret, but if dates can't work, we will simply try and and choose one of Kelso Border Retreats other options. Rumour has it another 'New addition' to the KBR portfolio (in the middle of Kelso) will become available to visit soon... We cannot wait. The host, Nikki really is a credit to this particular sector of the UK self catering holiday market. Kelso Border Retreats really DO KNOW what they are doing. We have now used 3 of their properties and all were EXCEPTIONAL... End of..

There was nothing we did not like.

Really lovely 3 storey town house.. very clean.. beautiful decor.. very modern.. very near to the beautiful town centre of Kelso. Wonderful welcome pack very much appreciated...

Being in our 60s we did find the furniture a little uncomfortable... especially the setee in the lounge.. but no doubt younger people might find it more suitable. Climbing 28 stairs was also quite difficult.. again younger people would not have a problem. Unfortunately on return we were accused of having smashed a lamp.. which was upsetting as being responsible people we would of owned up to this if we had.... this did not happen. Also on arrival the gas had been left on the cooker.. maybe a cleaner had knocked it.. a simple mistake but the smell was rather unpleasant. This was on arrival and we hadn't used the cooker.
