A charming small hotel in a beautiful location. Very peaceful. Friendly staff. Good food.

Stayed in August 2025

Rooms are individual and different so take a moment to choose.

Very pleasant relaxed stay, our second visit. Ideal location next to the River Nith.Restaurant is excellent. Lots to see in the locality which deserves to be visited more. Recommend Crawick Multiverse, Tolbooth museum and Sanquar golf club.

The setting was beautiful, the house itself was a delight - very old, but worthwhile after reading the history. The owner was pleasant and chatty. Definitely stay again.

The £20 breakfast required a big appetite, as there was no choice for a more modest one.

Hotel was advertised with an EV charger on site but operation of this was a little sketchy.

Good location on the outskirts of Sanquhar. Situated next to the River Nith with lovely walks on the doorstep. Excellent breakfast and evening meals all freshly cooked.

Being close to river

The owners run a lovely place with great food, particularly the choice of pasta dishes but also a full range of others. Blackaddie is quite a find, next to a lively river and the landscaped Multiverse site

A slightly rundown look about it and the price of the stay was unreasonably high, though everything was clean and tidy. The price of the set dinners at £60 was also a bit high, though the cooking of some dishes was very good. We found the a la carte prices more reasonable. Being elderly the ability to choose a Mains and possibility one other dish is all that we manage.

Apart from one other couple there, the hotel was empty. Sanquhar is a little remote, though we liked the location as a good place to get away from urban life, and the River Nith is very fishable and should be more highlighted and made a central part of what the hotel offers. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room was clean and provided everything we needed.

Our expectation was of a more countrified location.

Paolo the owner was very friendly and helpful advising where to visit in the area. The food was excellent. Room was very comfortable.

Breakfast was good, but I would have liked something other than filter coffee.

What a beautiful location! We stayed in the Minister's Pool Lodge with a gorgeous view of the river. The kitchen was fully equipped, so we cooked ourselves. The leather couches and electric fireplace made for a cozy evening. We especially enjoyed the small library of books in the room. The shower was great and the bed very comfortable. Paolo, our host, was lovely.

We booked a cottage with two bedrooms, which was confirmed by hotel in an email. In arrival we were informed that party of four happened to booked it at exactly the same time! What a coincidence! It turned out the hotel had to give us each a double room in the main building. I believe we were bumped due to our numbers!

Lovely setting

TV reception poor. I didn't realize it had full self catering facilities and didn't need to book breakfast at £20 per head. Skirting boards, windows and some walls could do with a spring clean.

We booked the river suite which was a fantastic big space , including a good sized bedroom, bathroom, lounge and kitchen. It had a lovely view over the river. The kitchen, bathroom and bedroom were clean and practical. Comfortable bed. Evening meal in the restaurant was fine.

Lovely place with everything you need to go self catering with a dog. We dined in the bar not restaurant , molly who served us was brilliant very attentive and made us feel welcome the food was on point. We stayed at the riverside lodge.
