Peaceful, comfortable, average food
Quiet and peaceful, with a very comfortable bed. Food was average. Some very dusty corners, although the bathroom was clean. Lovely grounds.

Excellent stay for dog owners!
This is our 2nd stay at Friars carse and will most definitely stay again. We love the grounds and also that they are dog friendly. The cottage is a little tiresome and could do with some repairs/upgrades.

Could be wonderful.. sadly it isn't
Lovely historic building in a beautiful setting, unfortunately the lack of investment by the owner is evident with grounds that need attention, chipped paintwork, mismatched furnishings, dreadful piped music from the 1930's, a breakfast that was meagre and non functioning WiFi. So much potential!

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.
