Turret House is a very historic property which has been beautifully
restored to provide the finest self-catering accommodation in Kelso.
Dating from the 17th century, and refurbished by the National Trust for
Scotland as one of their 'Little Houses', it offers an excellent place
to stay in the Scottish Borders. The accommodation is spacious and
stylish with lots of period features, including a wonderful circular
stone stairway. This holiday house is in the centre of Kelso but as it
is in a quiet no-through street it is very peaceful, and has a pretty
courtyard garden.
Kelso is an attractive Border town on the banks of the River Tweed -
one of Scotland's most famous salmon fishing rivers. Kelso Abbey can
be seen from the upstairs windows, and these magnificent 12th century
ruins are a popular tourist attraction. The Four Abbeys Cycle trail
goes through Kelso, and there is excellent walking in the area - both
marked routes and less explored paths. There are some superb castles
and country houses in the area - Floors Castle, Abbotsford House (home
of Sir Walter Scott), Mellerstain and Traquair House are some of the
finest in Scotland. Kelso's Racecourse is a great day out if you like
racing and the beaches of the Berwickshire and Northumberland coasts
are within easy driving distance. Edinburgh is only an hour away and
Hadrian's Wall is an hour and a half's drive. There is so much to see
and do in the area !

stairs lead up to the first and second floors.
On the first floor is the sitting room with two feature

very pretty double bedroom has a cast-iron double bed, an original cast
iron fireplace and working shutters. There is a modern en-suite shower
room.
On the second floor is a twin bedroom with an original cast iron
fireplace. The third bedroom has two 3ft zip-together beds which can

bathroom with quality fittings on the second floor. All the upstairs
rooms have gorgeous views.
Another charming feature of this Kelso house is the peaceful, enclosed
