The historic market square is the largest in Scotland and is uniquely continental style. There is a good range of restaurants, pubs, shops and cafes to explore, as well as a regular market.

There is much to see and do within walking distance from the apartment. Including Floors Castle and Gardens, Kelso Abbey, Kelso Recourse, BMX bike park, Ice Rink, golf club, Borders Events Centre, swimming pool, rugby club and fishing museum. Kelso is a popular location for those passionate about fishing, walking, cycling and golf.

Kelso is an ideal location for exploring the Scottish borders and the Northumberland National Park and coast. (Melrose 14 miles, Lindisfarne (Holy Island) 26 miles, St Abbs 28 miles, Edinburgh 44 miles, Bamburgh Castle 34 miles, Northumberland National Park 13 miles).
