The small borough of Sanquhar sits in beautiful Upper Nithsdale, an ideal base for walking, fishing, shooting, cycling, gold-panning and more. It is here you will find the Blackaddie House Hotel set in two acres of beautiful gardens on the banks of the River Nith. The restaurant offers excellent food and wine and a fine selection of malt whiskies. Parts of the hotel date back to 1540 when the building was the rectory for the local church. Now it offers nine tastefully furnished and comfortable en-suite bedrooms and also three riverside self-catering lodges, making it an ideal base for exploring southwest Scotland
