We visited Sanquhar for a short break and chose to stay at the Nithsdale Hotel for two nights, having previously stopped in for a meal. Our stay fully lived up to expectations. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and we were impressed by the restaurant. We also felt very welcomed at the bar, which even has its own separate pool table—a nice touch. Our ground-floor room was comfortable and well-appointed, with a cozy bed and en-suite facilities that made our stay even more enjoyable.

We were working locally and unfortunately had to leave before breakfast so the staff made us packed lunches instead which were lovely. Great place to stay and looking forward to coming back soon

Quality Room.
Public car park opposite was free and accessible. Did not try Hotel car park as reported issues with neighbours building works.
Lovely room with quality fittings ad superb bathroom.
A few 'hidden' single steps throughout including the room which were interesting but you soon became aware of. Breakfast was fine but cooked breakfast (which was excellent) was a little slow especially as we were the only customers in at the time. Porrige would have been a nice option but not on the menu.

Convenient for Dumfries House
Hotel was very clean and tidy throughout, staff were exceptionally helpful and the food was good.
Outdoor area at rear was 'functional' but not appealing and the car park could do with a lot of attention.

The staff at the hotel went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with our allocated room. Service in the restaurant was great, and staff very friendly. They also helped to ensure that we had an early breakfast to allow us to get walking early in the day. We enjoyed our stay here.

Very good service and comfort
Came for a short weekend break. Arrived later than expected and restaurant was closed. We were however offered food which was really nice of them. Room was lovely and the staff very welcoming.
Had a great meal on the second night. Would certainly recommend this hotel.
