Hotel accommodation, restaurant, wedding & events venue located in the heart of Kelso Town Square in the beautiful Borders of Scotland. The Cross Keys Hotel is superbly situated in the heart of Kelso's picturesque French-style cobbled square. The present hotel was built in 1769, but in other forms a Cross Keys hotel has occupied this site since the earliest days of Scottish coaching inns.

An ideal base to enjoy all that the Scottish Borders has to offer, the hotel is situated in a peaceful corner of Scotland yet still within easy reach of Edinburgh and Newcastle, perfect for business and pleasure. The Cross Keys Hotel provides a warm and friendly welcome to its guests and excellent service from attentive, friendly staff.

Food was good, location was great. Rooms are a bit dated and could do with updating.

Some of the best Mac Cheese and bacon I've ever had (I'm a simple guy and enjoy simple pleasures). Staff were really friendly and the prices are really reasonable.

Super hotel with terrific staff.
The hotel is a big part of Kelso and never let's itself down with its hospitality.
Well worth a visit in a wonderful position on the town square.

This is a five-star review for their restaurant “Saddlers” where we had an exceptionally good lunch.
Menu with plenty of choice, food to a very very high standard and prices good. Service and staff were friendly and pleasant. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Don’t hesitate to try the amazing Cob Salad, best salad I have ever eaten.

Tired place. Needs refurbished. Good quality hot breakfast. Staff knowledgeable about drinks and food and genuinely friendly.Shower dribbled and temp fluctuated. Notice in toilet stating to expect this! No prior warning from desk. Room 302. Not nice view. Wouldn't recommend that room. Very small passing room between bottom of bed and wall.

Came here with my Princess Cruise shore excursion group and had a great time. Food (salmon with potatoes) was superb and service was fast and very efficient.

No comments on the actual hotel itself, as we were only in here for their lunch service.
