    The staff was very accommodating. We ended up staying an additional night. The patrons of the pub were very entertaining. The bed was super comfortable. Paudie was GREAT! he apparently took over the Black Swan about 6 months before COVID hit....

    What we liked was the breakfast. It was a real Scottish meal for black pudding, bacon, egg, and your haggis was wonderful. We were about town. Kelso has a way to tourists to make them feel at home.
