Overview
Property code: 89401

Set on the outskirts of the small market town of Sanquhar, the cottage is surrounded by beautiful scenery and rolling hills. Explore Britain’s first official coast-to-coast footpath, the Southern Upland Way, or fish for wild salmon in the River Nith at the end of the garden. Sanquhar has a range of amenities including a café, pub, bakery, golf club, park and picnic area. There are many attractions to explore including Crawick Multiverse (1.5 miles), Drumlanrig Castle & Gardens (10.5 miles), Museum of Lead Mining (10 miles) and Leadhills and Wanlockhead Railway (11 miles), making this a great destination to explore Dumfries and Galloway.

Step into the large living and dining area, the ideal space for unwinding after a long day of exploring the local area. The space is light and airy with French doors leading to the garden and a large skylight. There is also a Smart TV, so settle down and watch a movie as the nights draw in. Enjoy a romantic meal for two at the dining table or plan your next day. The spacious bedroom features a luxurious super-king-size bed (which can be made into a twin at request). There is a shower room with a waterfall shower and WC.

Throw open the patio doors onto the enclosed lawn overlooking the River Nith. Enjoy al fresco drinks on the garden furniture and look out for the wild salmon jumping! There is also access to the restaurant and bar in the on-site traditional country house.

The Riverside Cottage was lovely and warm on arrival with the lovely extra addition of a vase of fresh flowers. The phone call from the host 10 minutes after arrival asking if there was anything we needed was another lovely touch which we have not received at any other self catering property. Everything was spotlessly clean. The view over the RiverRead more Nith was stunning. We even sat out one morning having our coffee to appreciate the view (even though it was March!). A tranquil gem!

Disappointing in need of some refurbishment. Kitchen basically kitted out no wall cabinets so glasses loose in a drawer. Dishwasher tablet holder did not close no instructions for this or washing machine. Leaky toilet pipe with cut off plastic box catching drips no toilet brush. Bin at door not emptied from previous guests. Leaking gutter at front Read moredoor meant go soaked going in and out of property in rain. Tired and not great so left early. Stayed in lots of properties which are much better. Hide

Lovely little cottage next to the river-beautiful view and the sound of the river so relaxing. It was warm & reasonably well equipped but generally seemed a little tired so is probably ready for a make over. Ate at hotel several evenings-the food is gorgeous and well worth a visit.

Great place. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend for dog owners & nature lovers in general. Many walks straight from the front door. Hotel food was delicious & owners were warm & friendly. We tried the bar and a la carte menus.....both great. Bar was being refurbed while we were there. Once it is completed, it will be another great option of an evening.

The cottage was lovely and cosy, especially as the weather was not good. However on the one sunny day we had it was lovely to sit outside beside the river. Being able to use the Hotel bar and restaurant was great, exceptional food and very friendly staff. Would highly recommend this cottage.
