The lady at reception was wonderful, very friendly however, the restaurant waitresses let it down, while my partner was still eating twice they came over to ask if we were finished, had no idea of the soup choice and were very inexperienced, food was lovely tho, the lady behind the bar was friendly and informative, beautiful grounds and surroundings so would definitely recommend

Proximity to the garden we were visiting was excellent. Generally clean but some cobwebs hanging from the light fitting in an otherwise very clean room. Dining room food was excellent. Overall would recommend and would stay there again.

Very much enjoyed staying at this hotel. Staff were very good, even at the late time we came in at. Hotel is situated a little ways off the main road in very picturesque and ideal spot. Rooms were clean and the front area of the hotel was an amazing area to just sit in for a bit. Old woodwork with comfortable yet antique style furniture.

Very pleasant winter stay.
Front desk person could not have been more helpful. Only thing I would add that a rail on the wall above the bath would help us oldies feel safer in the shower - there was nothing to hold on to. Noticed on a sign I could ask for an anti slip mat once I was in the shower - too late then.

Good,but disappointed
Having stayed at Friars Carse before,with two small dogs we didnt dine in. This time only having one and advertised as dog friendly,we decided to do so.For this we payed £15 per night,we stayed two nights and received a dog blanket and two metal bowls in our room. Dinner first night was in a piano room with dining chairs and table and low background music. The waiter could not be more attentive and we had an excellent dinner. Breakfast the next day was in the same piano room,though if you required orange juice,toast or cereal,you had to walk to the main dining room some 50 yards away. That night for dinner our actual anniversary we were informed,that we would be in the small bar area,this time the seating comprised of a club chair and high small circular table.adjacent to a covered table that fishermen the night before tied flies at. Once served with dinner,fish and chips,we again had to ask for condiments and vinegar and waited a good 5-7 minutes,while the waitress served at the bar,following this the glass/dish washer was switched on and it being a small room,conversation was difficult.After the main course,we again waited and had to move our plates away to an adjoining table,while the washer still rumbled on. We did raise our concerns with a member of staff at reception,but while they sympathised,they stated that only two staff members were covering the bar and dining room,the bar area was unsuitable for dining and and although charged for nothing was provided for dogs
