Surrounded by miles and miles of unspoilt countryside, the town of Sanquhar lies in a picturesque setting on the banks of the River Nith in Dumfries and Galloway. It is a charming settlement home to friendly people and is perfect for a relaxing country cottage break. With a little post office that is possibly the oldest working of its kind in the world, dating back to 1712, Sanquhar is also home to some shops, eateries and the relics of the Sanquhar Castle which was built in the 13th century. There is also a golf club in town for those who enjoy this sporting activity. Located in the stunning Nith Valley with soaring hills on each side, Sanquhar is a beautiful settlement for talking strolls and walks in and around. One place to visit from Sanquhar includes the Galloway Forest Park which is about 40 miles or an hour’s drive from the town and is a beautiful woodland park well worth exploring.
Whether you choose to book a holiday cottage in Sanquhar, an apartment, a lodge or another type of self-catering holiday accommodation, we hope you have your best holiday yet in Dumfries and Galloway.
