Pleasant, spacious and warm cottage well situated for walking in the borders. The village of Sanquar has a good range of food shops and an excellent chippy! Friendly locals.

Not the best, dusty, musty and damp smell, decor in need of an uplift as only 1 coat of paint, quite dark in sitting room, no clean washing up sponge, scissors or oven glove. Door locks stiff especially the fire escape we used the french doors as our main exits. Freezer in utility not working. Not a lot to do in the town, wasn't the best base for oRead moreur needs. Heating works well and plenty of space, large bathroom with great shower but mold showing in places. Didn't eat in the hotel. Hide

This is a fantastic cottage, right in the beautiful river Nith. Very clean, perfectly spacious for four and the owners are absolutely lovely. We dined at the adjacent Blackaddie hotel twice and the food was absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend.
