Dirty and tired… but could be outstanding! This hotel has the potential to be stunning but in its current state it’s beyond disappointing. The cleanliness is poor, from the dining room to the bedroom, standards are low. Whereas the disrepair in parts of the hotel and poor maintenance is also evident. Unfortunately, I wasn’t asked how my stay was upon checkout either which is a missed opportunity for this feedback. With a deep clean, some small renovation and handy-person improvements, this hotel could be something quite special.

A beautiful hidden gem!

What had a fabulous stay at Friars Carse. It is set in glorious surroundings, and the staff were helpful, friendly and welcoming. We staying in one of the cottages in the grounds and it was perfect in every way - clean, spacious, with all the furnishing in good order and of high quality. The food in the hotel was lovely, fresh, good portion size and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend and we are looking forward to a return visit!

Amazing location and building, friendly helpful reception and bar staff. Great location for exploring the area and grounds. Deluxe rooms are clean, very spacious, comfortable beds but could benefit from a decor refresh, for example, ceiling light fittings are very basic looking and bathroom a little underwhelming but clean. Some carpets threadbare on main stairway and corridor decor needs attention - ie bashed walls. Restaurant staff mostly friendly with 1 exception who is not a 'people person'. Overall good, but could be great.

Beautiful period property with bags of character. Lovely lounge area with comfortable seating to relax and chat, have a drink before or after dining. Very comfortable bed, excellent food and so therefore excellent value for money for your stay.

Dun beag cottage was peaceful and far away enough from the hotel. The hotel appears to be a popular wedding and event venue.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom house, it was lovely and clean, comfortable and very well equipped for self catering. We enjoyed walking around the grounds. And had a very nice dinner in the restaurant. The receptionist was very professional and smiley, making us feel very welcome. An enjoyable stay

Quiet, traditional country hotel. Beautiful location, very helpful staff and a lovely stretch of river. Only thing that stopped me rating it as excellent was the slightly limited dinner menu- somewhat limited. Pay a little bit more for the deluxe rooms- well worth it.
