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.

We attended a wedding at Friars Carse over 20 years ago and as it was a convenient stop on our way to the highlands, thought we would try it again. I was afraid it may not have aged well but it is actually even better than I remembered. It is a beautiful place to stay, housekeeping is excellent, staff are helpful and discreetly friendly and it is just so relaxing. We stayed in Redwood which I believe is the honeymoon suite and nothing could be more idyllic. Very much looking forward to future visits. Thank you.

A charming place to stay

We had an overnight stay at Friars Carse and it was lovely. The staff are very welcoming, engaging and good fun. The building itself felt very homely. The food was utterly divine, I would go back for the food alone! There is a well stocked bar, with various places to sit and relax. If you are looking for somewhere to stay without the bells and whistles and really good food, this is the place for you.
