"The Friars Carse is a lovely rural hotel. The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpfull. We only spent one night here but will hopefully come back again. The retsurant was excellent and the lounge with the open fire was a so atmospheric. The female receptionist who was on overnight was brilliant, so helpfull and seemed to genuinely enjoy her job."

Lake District Castle Inn hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in one of the family rooms, capable of sleeping six (One King, Four Singles) which was fantastic to find as a family of five. The room itself was spacious, clean and the beds were comfortable. Nice range of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, water and biscuits in the room, plenty of towels etc. We used the pool and spa which were well maintained and wasn't too busy at the time we were there. We had a look at the restaurant menu for dinner which was fine for adults, but wasn't much in the way of children's options, there was Pizza available but that was the only thing our fussy kids would have had."
