Lovely walks, manor style hotel, large room with SPA bath, fruit in room, fridge, robes and a homely feel. However over priced room, little coffee, shower had little power, had to ask for the heating to be switched on. Dinner is well over priced £65.00pp for 3 course basic food option that had been cooked prior and left for a re-heat as the chef was not on site for dinner. Breakfast was lovely but not enough, yogurts a little warm, lots of delicious salmon which was great but the smallest poached egg in the middle. Full cooked breakfast was not filling for a full grown man. One small poached egg

Return trip to this place. Love it. Stayed twice now in the cottages, which are peaceful and nicely appointed. That is the picture from the living room of Minister's Pool cottage, looking up the River Nith. To the right of the river, out of shot, a path runs parallel to it which is great for walking dogs. I would heartily recommend Blackaddie, and am sure I will be back again.

Lovely two night stay at Blackaddie. Very relaxed, at home, feel. Staff very helpful but unintrusive. Food was highlight of the stay. Excellent! Worthy of three rosettes. Each course beautifully presented, but more to the point, deliciously different. Parmesan ice cream works.....and every course had something to set the taste buds alight. Food to savour. Well done!
