Blackaddie Country House Hotel & Cottages, Blackaddie Road, Sanquhar, Dumfriesshire, DG4 6JJ

The Blackaddie House Hotel dates back to the first half of the 16th Century, with the property originally built as the Rectory to St Bride’s Church. The property is built of local stone planned on two floors, under a pitched and slate roof.

Over the centuries there has been many extensions creating a charming country house hotel set in approximately 2.5 acres of very well maintained and mature gardens. The hotel enjoys excellent views over the River Nith with further benefits from having ample parking to the front and rear easily accommodating up to 40 cars.

Since purchasing the property in 2021, the business has been completely refurbished and presented to a high standard both internally and externally.

The Blackaddie Country House Hotel sits on the banks of The River Nith amidst a rural backdrop within the Dumfriesshire village of Sanquhar, an attractive market town between Dumfries and Ayr. Sanquhar is on the South West Coastal 300 Touring Route and the Southern Upland Way walking route, being 15 miles south east of the town of Cumnock and 36 miles south of the major city of Glasgow.

The town sits on the River Nith, one of Scotland’s top salmon rivers. It makes a great base for exploring Upper Nithsdale and beyond. The countryside, particularly to the east of the town, is spectacular with three beautiful passes, Crawick, Mennock and Dalveen. This area is a great choice for keen road cyclists, these passes are both a challenge and a delight.

As mentioned since the business was acquired in 2021, the new owner has undergone a refurbishment of the main building and the three riverside cottages, not to mention the transformation of the owners house. The letting bedrooms have all been recently renovated to offer the highest level of comfort, each room has its own individual style from traditional to modern. Most rooms have a view of the river and/or a view of the garden. The three riverside cottages have been converted from a traditional barn and stables to lovely holiday cottages.

Located on the ground floor is the formal dining room/restaurant which offers for approximately 40 covers. The cosy bar area has it's own open fire which is a magnet for guests in those winter months. An attractive bar servery is centrally located. There is an additional seating area adjacent to the bar where food can be eaten, as well as the conservatory which can accommodate an additional 16 covers.

The majority of trade fixtures and fittings are included within the sale however a full trade inventory will be available as part of a due diligence process.

No expense has been spared in the refurbishment of the letting bedrooms and cottages. Flexible accommodation either in one of the six luxury ensuite rooms in the main house, or in the self-contained River Suite, with French doors looking straight out over the beautiful river Nith. All recently renovated to offer you the highest level of comfort, each room has its own individual style from traditional to modern. Most rooms have a view of the river and/or a view of the garden.
