Positioned on a striking 45-acre woodland estate in Dumfries, country house hotel Friars Carse will impress you from the get-go with its rural elegance and welcoming staff. The 13th century haven was once owned by the Riddell family whose regular houseguest was Robert Burns; the celebrated Scottish poet who is, of course, famous for the New Years Eve song 'Auld Lang Syne'! Backing onto the River Nith, the hotel features free Wi-Fi, a restaurant, bar and snooker room, and stylish en-suite bedrooms. You will find plenty to see and do in Dumfries, with cinemas, shopping and bars in the town, historical sites and Sandyhills Beach among others. A cooked breakfast is also served both mornings, ensuring you will leave feeling full, content and with lovely memories! Location: Dumfries, Scotland
