Friar's Carse Hotel
Auldgirth, Dumfries, Scotland.
Located close to the site of a 13th century Friary (hence the name) the existing house was formerly the property of the Riddell family, close friends of Robbie Burns.
Indeed, not only was Burns a regular guest, but it was in the hotel restaurant that the poet competed in the drinking competition he would later write in verse. Moreover, he would also regularly stay in the Burns Hermitage which is located within the grounds.
Today the hotel features twenty one en suite bedrooms and is three-star rated.
Interestingly, Friar’s Carse offers guests the opportunity to indulge in game fishing for Sea Trout, Salmon and Grayling on the River Nith which runs along on part of its 45 acre estate.
Friars Carse welcomes well behaved dogs on request (additional charges may apply) and is within easy reach of Dumfries and Lockerbie.
