A charming old manor house converted to a hotel with very spacious rooms and outstanding food. We only stayed one night but would love it to have been longer. You will not be disappointed but a member of staff was very curt to another guest whist we were in earshot which we though was somewhat unprofessional and that's the only reason why this is not a 5* rating.

Set on the Tweed river bank with a lovely view, right beside the historic ruined Abbey and only a short stroll from Kelso town centre makes this a great place to stay. added to that the roads around Kelso are great for a biker like me. I highly recommend this hotel and hope to visit again soon. There are about 30 rooms but only a few have great views and our bedroom was one of them and that's the only reason why this is not a 5* rating.

For a long weekend break we met up with Brian who had guided us in France at Kendal. He led us through the Lake District and stopped overnight in Carlisle. The next day we crossed to the Northumberland coast then into the Borders where we stayed in Kelso. The final leg ended at Dumfries after a route through the Galloway forrest. As we have come to expect from Brian this was a well planned route with regular stops are great places. A great weekend with good company and lovely roads for biking. I cannot commend this tour company enough. They are trully wonderful and will take expert care to ensure you have an outstanding and safe trip whether that be your main holiday or short break.

We toured the south of France, mainly in Dordogne region and had a ball. The hotel was great as was the food and the routes were well planned and a pace was maintained that pleased all riders in our group. Brian was a great guide and well informed. He took us across many roads that were off the usual tourist routes giving us unique experience of rural France. I've been on other motorcycle tours and a few of my fellow riders have been on other Harley tours but we were unanimous that none took the same care or were as well organised as this.
