The Queens Head Hotel

About The Queens Head Hotel

The Queens Head Hotel has occupied its site close to Kelso Abbey since 1725 and remains a family-run inn at the centre of the town's social life. Rooms are available as doubles, twins and family rooms, decorated in a contemporary style while retaining the building's older bones, and the hotel's split-level bar and dining area has an informal, brasserie feel with wood floors and exposed brick.

Food is served all day, from pizzas and burgers to more substantial pub classics, with a fuller menu offered in the evenings, and the bar has picked up national recognition, including a Best Bar None award. Free wifi, ample parking and bicycle storage are all provided, useful for visitors arriving by car or exploring the Borders cycling routes.

A short walk from the Abbey ruins and the main square, the Queens Head suits visitors who want a lively, sociable base in the centre of Kelso, with dining and drinking taken care of on site as well as easy access to the rest of the town on foot.
