Back in the 18th century, Robert Burns was a regular visitor to Friars Carse Hotel or Glenriddell, as it was then known.

Set in its own woodland estate, stretching to the banks of the River Nith, it is an inspirational location for composing a spot of poetry or simply enjoying a tranquil, rural getaway.

Wax poetical with today’s Big Deal on a one or two night break for two at Friars Carse Hotel at Auldgirth, just six miles north of Dumfries.

The house has many links with the Bard but, from wildlife watching, fishing and clay pigeon shooting to bike trails and castle visits, the surrounding area has much to offer the visitor.

With purchases valid to the beginning of autumn, this deal offers a great chance to book that break for the Borders.

Under a two hour drive from Edinburgh and Glasgow, Friars Carse Hotel is also very conveniently located for a short break.

Convenient break

Available Sunday to Thursday, the offer is for two people to enjoy a stay in a double or twin room at Friars Carse Hotel.

Option one is for a one night stay with a full Scottish breakfast in the morning and a three course table d’hôte dinner.

Option two is for a two night stay with a full Scottish breakfast in the morning and a three course table d’hôte dinner on the first night.

Individually styled rooms

All of Friars Carse’s 21 ensuite bedrooms are individually styled and most have views over the surrounding farmland or the gardens and river.

Due to the layout of the building, all rooms vary in size and layout giving each a unique character. All the rooms have WiFi.

Whistle Restaurant

The scene of a famous drinking competition between Burns and Fergusson of Craigdarroch, the hotel’s Whistle Restaurant now has a reputation for great food which uses the best fresh and local ingredients.

Expect seasonal Scottish fare with a nod to the hotel’s rich heritage.

See & do

If you want to pursue the Burns theme, there are plenty of local associations with the poet in the vicinity. These include a Burns Trail, an easy walk taking in the Hermitage, within the hotel grounds, and nearby Ellisland Farm where he wrote works including Tam o’Shanter and Auld Lang Syne.

Swapping stanzas for salmon, anglers may want to take advantage of the Friars Carse lengthy fishing beat on the Nith, accessed by paths direct from the hotel, with numerous spots to go after salmon and trout.

Happy guests

‘Great location by the banks of the River Nith. Magnificent building, good food, friendly staff, excellent value…’

‘Excellent stay in a fabulous place. My husband, dog and I stayed here… From walking in the front door, we felt at home in a very relaxed atmosphere. The lady who greeted us was very friendly as was every member of the staff were met. We stayed in Maple room which was very clean and had a fantastic comfy bed, our Labrador was supplied with a dog bed… a water bowl and treats… We ate in the bar and the food was lovely, Our break was fantastic and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Friars Carse, we will certainly be returning soon.’

Ideal gift idea

A short break in Dumfriesshire is a treat any time of the year, but summer and early autumn show the countryside at its finest.
