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.

We used this hotel as a half way point. Staff very friendly and attentive! Hotel needs renovation tbh. Web site makes it look in much better condition. Food while expensive for eve meal was delicious! We didn't get to try the Scottish Breakfast as on a Saturday it begins at 8am. We left at 7.30am. Historically interesting with Robbie Burns of fame being a local once upon a time.

We were very disappointed with the hotel.Our room was very run down. The mattress needed replacing as springs were coming through. The pillows were old and hard and it was thin utility bedding. The bedside lamp shade was broken. The shower had no sceen just a curtain and you had to run round to get wet. It was dusty and depressing. Breakfront was no better. Poor quality ,overcooked and greasy. We would not stay again. It is set in lovely grounds but these dont compensate for the dreadful bedrooms.

10/10 Exceptional

Had a lovely stay. Beautiful surrounding. Peaceful and quiet. The rooms are a little tired and could do with bed skirts around bed to minimize looking at an uncovered bottom mattress. At least this was our case in Willow. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and kind. I loved the fact that people were able to bring their fur-buddies with them and it was very enjoyable to have them while having a drink in the cozy lounge. Thank you, thank you! A special thank you to Ellie and Karen as we left an Apple Watch behind they ensured we were noticed and made arrangements to pop it in the post to us in CA. Anita Jeffrey, Ojai, CA

Characterful hotel with lovely grounds
The Friars Carse has a lot of character, which we enjoyed. We especially liked the snooker room. The grounds and walk along the river were beautiful. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We enjoyed a three-course meal one evening in the dining room, which is nice for a little splurge. While we found the room itself to be of adequate size, it was very dusty. The headboards, side tables, and top of the wardrobe had loads of dust and pet hair, as if it hadn't been cleaned properly. One of our party has severe dog allergies (prone to hives and a constricted airway when exposed to dogs), so our biggest drawback was the amount of dogs at the hotel. It seems we stayed on a night with an exceptionally high volume of guests with dogs. When booking the hotel, we didn't see any promotion of this being a dog hotel, but did see a notice after booking that dogs are allowed everywhere except the main dining room. We respect and appreciate that dogs are part of many families, but it made the main lounge and bar unusable for us. This left us with the option to be in the dusty room, outside, or dining area - as the dogs eventually took over the snooker room as well. While we don't fault the hotel for this, it's worth noting for anyone with strong allergies.
