We had a great 3 course meal in the hotel. the only thing it lacked was some atmosphere in the dinning room, You could have heared a pin drop some backing music would... More

We travelled up to Friars Carse on the 13th of June for our wedding. We are from Lancashire and took 40 of our closest family and friends. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning and the river and grounds are beautiful. From the minute we arrived the staff could not have been more helpful. The rooms are lovely and clean and... More

Beautiful hotel in a peaceful location overlooking the river Nith. The staff were lovely and the food was good. There is a really extensive whisky list and the bar prices were very reaonable at £3.30 a pint. Our room was probably the smallest in the entire place, typical. The sink was positioned so that you had to bend round it... More

This is a pleasent 3 star country hotel with fantastic wood features. Its kept its character and what it says on the Tin. If you want modern and bright you have booked the wrong Hotel. Staff are pleasent and helpfull and eager to please at all times. Food is of a good quality and has a good choice for evening... More

A comfortable, friendly hotel. Good for strolling, fishing and relaxing. The staff were friendly and helpful, although we sometimes found them a bit thin on the ground; this may have been because they were preparing for a wedding fair, to be held in a marquee in the grounds. The rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet. The food was good, but... More

We were given hotel vouchers as a gift, and chose Friars' Carse because it looked like a luxury country house hotel in a beautiful location - well, two out of three! The building was lovely from the outside, and the lounge was also lovely, as were the grounds. But don't expect luxury. Our 2nd floor room was small, dark and... More

It does make me laugh when I read reviews of the Country House, stating it needs modernisation. The place is advertised as a traditional country house so expect to see dark wood interiors making the place look dark. Expect old wood styling windows and doors throughout (again in traditional dark wood). In fact, expect a traditional style country house which... More

Arrived on a beautiful sunny spring afternoon - the venu is stunning and there are some nice walks along the river bank. Looked forward to dinner eagerly - ordered over a drink, selected wine etc. Taken to our table, bottle of chosen red open on the table and freezing cold, 3 or 4 pieces of cutlery were dirty - not...

We were suitably impressed when we pulled up to this hotel- the building and grounds are lovely and it looked so inviting. There is limited parking in front of the hotel itself, but the big car park is so close it doesn't matter a jot! We were welcomed by a very friendly member of staff who booked us in and... More
