Central Guest House£

; s/d £30/45)
A bargain in some-
times pricey Kelso and just on the central square. The owners live off-site, so call ahead
first. The rooms are fine: spacious, with firm beds, new carpets and good bathrooms.
Rates are room-only, but you get a fridge, toaster and microwave so you can create your
own breakfast.

; 7 Bowmont St; bar mains £9-13; meals
Tue-Sun)
We've included the phone number for a reason: this inn off the main square is so
popular you will need to book a table at weekends. It's cheery, very welcoming, warm,
and serves excellent upmarket pub food in generous portions. Choose from the bar menu
or the more upmarket dinner list (£21 for two courses). There's a decent wine selection
and proper coffee, but the wise leave room for dessert too. The bar always has an interest-
ing guest ale or two as well. A cracking place.
Oscar's££

Wed-Mon)
Posh comfort food and the work of local artists sit side by side in this likeable
bar-restaurant-gallery in the centre of town. A list of excellent daily specials complements
the more standard permanent selection. A wide choice of wines is available, and you can
browse the exhibition space downstairs while you wait for your meal.
