A well-known structure that's withstood the test of time, you can't miss Smailholm Tower. It's a celebrated attraction for history buffs and regular sightseers alike.

Smailholm Tower is a great place to begin your discovery of Kelso. This historic construction comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Save time for other attractions like Floors Castle, Melrose Abbey, and Kelso Racecourse to make the most of what the area has to offer.

7.6/10 Good! (4 reviews)
The apartment is very small and a bit far from the center, you need a car or a bus to reach it. The hall is narrow and the bathroom is small, one bedroom is small and barely fits a double bed. There is a hanging bed but it is not equipped and the ladder is broken. The apartment is clean and the kitchen is good but the sheets are worn out. The apartment only fits two people, contrary to what is written that it fits four, but there is no sofa bed, even just a sofa in the hall
