Dun beag cottage was peaceful and far away enough from the hotel. The hotel appears to be a popular wedding and event venue.

Beautiful period property with bags of character. Lovely lounge area with comfortable seating to relax and chat, have a drink before or after dining. Very comfortable bed, excellent food and so therefore excellent value for money for your stay.

Most of the staff were pleasant, some left a bit to be desired. The whole building needs a lot of tlc, windows are in need of maintenance and leaking walls and ceilings. Liked the lounge, stair carpet very worn. Has an interesting history. Just make sure you check your bill before leaving.

Quiet country house hotel in lovely surroundings. A charming, old-style design that is harder to find these days. Very relaxing, peaceful stay.

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.

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.

Amazing location and building, friendly helpful reception and bar staff. Great location for exploring the area and grounds. Deluxe rooms are clean, very spacious, comfortable beds but could benefit from a decor refresh, for example, ceiling light fittings are very basic looking and bathroom a little underwhelming but clean. Some carpets threadbare on main stairway and corridor decor needs attention - ie bashed walls. Restaurant staff mostly friendly with 1 exception who is not a 'people person'. Overall good, but could be great.

Dirty and tired… but could be outstanding! This hotel has the potential to be stunning but in its current state it’s beyond disappointing. The cleanliness is poor, from the dining room to the bedroom, standards are low. Whereas the disrepair in parts of the hotel and poor maintenance is also evident. Unfortunately, I wasn’t asked how my stay was upon checkout either which is a missed opportunity for this feedback. With a deep clean, some small renovation and handy-person improvements, this hotel could be something quite special.

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.
