Blackaddie Country House Hotel

There may be many hotels in Dumfries and Galloway, but Blackaddie Country House Hotel pride themselves on being relaxed while offering professional service - and they're pet-friendly too.

Dogs are also allowed in all public rooms with the exception of the restaurant and breakfast rooms where food is served (unless you have a guide dog).

Four of the hotel rooms have super king size beds, one of which is a four-poster, some of which can be twinned if preferred, and great en-suite bathrooms with a selection of Arran Aromatic toiletries, large bath sheets, robes, and slippers. All the others have showers only. They also have cots and Z-beds available for babies and youngsters. There is no charge for children under the age of 5.

There is as you would expect a well-stocked bar with a good array of single malts for you to try. They have a large selection of books in their library, and if you have started one but not finished it during your stay, they are happy for you to take it away if you either leave a book in its place or send it back once you’ve finished with it.

The hotel has a large car park immediately outside and a separate car park for the cottages.
