FAQS

Booking Queries

How much is a room per night?

Our rates are calculated on a daily basis and therefore are subject to change dependent on availability and season. You can easily enter the arrival dates in our booking engine and our system will search the best available rates for you.

Why has the price for my stay increased since I checked rates last week?

Generally, rates will increase, the closer to the date of your stay and are subject to change dependent on availability.

Are the rates per person or per room?

All prices, unless stated otherwise, are on a per-room-basis, and based on two people sharing a room.

How do I get make sure that I pay the best rate?

Our best prices are guaranteed when booking direct with the hotel via our website www.ednamhouse.com by emailing contact@ednamhouse.com or calling us on 01573 224168. Direct bookers will receive the best rate, the opportunity for a priority room upgrade (subject to availability) and a choice of either a complimentary cream tea or a £10 food and beverage voucher to spend during your stay. In the event that you need to cancel or modify your reservation you’ll have the flexibility to talk directly to us to make the necessary changes, only when booking direct.

What is the Advanced Purchase Rate (APR)?

The APR offers a discount on the daily rate, with the value of the discount dependant on the booking date. In general, you can save between 10-15% on the cost of your stay.

Please note that this rate is not eligible to be cancelled free of charge and a non-refundable deposit is due at time of booking. If the hotel is notified up to 48 hours prior to arrival, guests may transfer their booking to another date within 6 months of the original arrival date. The rate for the new date will apply and any increase in rate will need to be paid for by the guest at the time of transfer.

Do you have any family rooms?

We warmly welcome children to the hotel and have a selection of bedrooms and suites that accommodate up to four people in one room.

Do you offer child rates?

Yes, we offer family rates at Ednam House. Children under two years are welcome to stay free of charge. Cots are available for an additional charge of £25 per cot, per night. Children aged 3 – 11 years are charged at £25 per child per night, children aged 12 – 15 are charged at £35.00 per child per night on a bed and breakfast basis. We also offer a children’s menu in our Lounge Bar where we recommend an early sitting. Children occupying their own bedroom will be charged at full tariff.

Do you offer accessible rooms?

Regrettably, Ednam House does not have easy access to an accessible room or have easy wheelchair access. The original steps up to the main entrance of Ednam House and split levels on the ground floor of the hotel provide a challenge to guests who wholly rely on a wheelchair. However, we have a ramp to access the hotel via the ballroom and have a ground floor bedroom with a walk-in shower. Access to the Riverside Restaurant is via a number of stairs.

Can I bring my pet?

We welcome well behaved pets at Ednam House and have a number of dog friendly bedrooms throughout the hotel. Dogs are also permitted in the bar and lounge areas and in our three acres of riverside gardens. Regrettably, pets aren’t allowed in the Restaurant area within the main building. A fee of £20 per dog, per night is charged for your pet to stay at the hotel. Please let us know at the point of booking that you would like to bring a pet so that we can ensure you are allocated a suitable bedroom.

Do you offer special discounts (for senior citizens, students etc)?

We provide the best available rates for the dates of your stay. The discounts are already included and therefore it is not possible to have any other discount on the confirmed price.

At what time must I check-out?

Do you offer smoking rooms?

Lovely hotel. So nice to have a chance to appreciate classic architecture and decor. A blessed relief from the corporate concrete and glass cubes. I shall be back.

Graham AuldGoogle Reviewer

Elegant property set in charming grounds overlooking the River Tweed. Centrally located just off the market square in the heart of Kelso. Friendly welcoming staff. My visit was too short but most enjoyable. Hotel outperforms its official AA rating.

We were made very welcome with our dogs. All staff, without exception, were friendly and efficient. Lovely setting by the River Tweed and a good base for exploring The Borders.
