I booked this hotel without reading the comments on the internet and was a bit worried when I read the internet comments shortly after booking - I need not have worried. On arrival at the hotel the staff were helpful and friendly and that set the tone for the 2 day break - I cannot fault the staff who were... more

I stayted in Friars Carse for one night and expected more! The staff were friendly and helpful when we arrived to check in. I got a great key (see the picture for a laugh!). When I got to my room after going through the beautiful reception area and up the staircase with the newly laid carpet I though my room... more

As someone who has stayed at the hotel on numerous occassions I feel that I should express the disappointment I felt upon my last stay. On arrival we were checked in by a very pleasant dark haired girl on reception who made sure that we were alright in getting to our room and booked us a space for dinner. When... more

The food has improved, with plenty of choice and they had no problem doing small portions. Much more organised made more apparent by the new... more

A beautiful setting with real potential but the hotel is shabby and has been neglected. The food was drab and service slow. It is exactly the sort of place you see on Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares where the staff have no pride or enthusiasm in their work. The room had a stale, horrible smell and the mouldy grout in the... more

Was quite alarmed when I read the reviews on here after I had had booked! So I was quite anxious about the weekend stay. However, we had a wonderful experience. I can report that the much maligned driveway is now repaired and pothole free. The building is beautiful and full of character with oak panelled great room and huge fireplace.... more
