Nicely set out accommodation with tasteful décor. Quality furnishings. Peaceful surroundings. Very helpful hosts.
Ideally situated for sight seeing without travelling any distance at all. Spoilt for choice regarding historic sites and Great Houses/palaces .The quaint market towns of Melrose and Kelso get top marks for their variety of ' individual' shops and the Teviot smoker/ water gardens , a few miles from the house , is worth a visit. They also do very nice meals.
If you like to walk or cycle , there are plenty of opportunities to do this.
A marvellous area of the Border country.
What a find and a perfect bolt hole whilst watching our daughter compete at Floors castle horse trials. This must be the ultimate B&B with large spacious lounge, breakfast conservatory and bedroom en-suite. Its a shame we could not stay longer or just spend more time enjoying the Bothy experience. Next year. Ashley was the most gracious host and served a great breakfast. My expectations were high based on reviews and but the accomodation and welcome far exceeded this. We will be back next year.

We stayed at the Kersmains Bothy in March 2016. We were blown away by how beautiful the décor was and the small touches to really make our stay special. We felt the owner went above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable stay and couldn't ask for a nicer host. We only stayed for 1 night but wished it was 1 week! We hope to be back in the future and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and homely stay in the Scottish borders.

My fiancé and I visited Ashley's Bothy on Saturday for a 1 night stay, and we had the best time! The fire was so cosy, sofas were super comfy and a great DVD collection - perfect place to hideaway with a glass of wine and listen to the rain battering the windows! The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great too. We were served a full cooked breakfast in the conservatory in the morning by Ashley (at a time of our choosing) and this was cooked to perfection. The Bothy didn't have Wifi (that we could find anyway!) but this was actually quite refreshing to get away from phones for a while!
I would thoroughly recommend the Bothy to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing place to get away from it all - it was exactly what we needed! Thank you :-)

What a marvellous place to stay - superb accommodation, with a very comfy bed, a super cosy separate lounge with log burner and sofas - the perfect place in which to relax with a glass of wine - and an elegant conservatory for a private breakfast for two. So much space to ourselves and all so beautifully decorated.
Host Ashely couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming and served a delicious breakfast - at a time to suit us.
The Bothy really is a perfect spot for a few days of relaxation - I wish we had booked a longer stay and we will definitely return.

We have just returned from a 2 night stay at the Bothy B&B. Our 14 month old son was with us so we really wanted more than just a room for a few nights. When we came across The Bothy it looked ideal. In fact The Bothy B&B was perfect - more than enough space for us to relax in the evening and enjoy the peaceful scenery around us. It was in a great location to explore the Borders area. We will definitely be back to Kersmains for another stay in the future. Thank you for being so welcoming!
we were looking for a B&B in the borders to visit the abbays and castles in this region. and we were very glad we could stay in the Kersmains Bothy. Not only for the good location, but also for the warm welcome by Ashley and Simon. The Bothy itself offered us a very spacious retreat: a large bedroom with well equiped bathroom, and as a magnificent surplus an even larger library/sitting room with adjoining a veranda. Looking for inn's, restaurants or any other info, Ashlet was also helping us.
summarized: we can remmend without any doubt this B&B
