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.

The service and friendliness of the staff was absolutely phenomenal. There are some dated aspects but that is to be expected (and for some people a highlight) of staying in such a historic place.

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 diamond in the rough enjoyed every minute of our stay. The place is very elegant with a fresh water river flowing beside it with a walking path. I will definitely stay here again if I’m ever in the area.
