The cottage was extremely well equipped and spotless when we arrived.. We were greeted by Sheila who showed us around the cottage and where everything was. She was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us some ideas of where to go for walks with our two dogs and cycle rides. The surrounding area was very picturesque and we enjoyed all of or walks and bike rides. I would definitely recommend this cottage for a very peaceful and relaxing holiday

Absolutely fantastic place.. Loved everything and would definitely return. Sheila and son incredibly friendly and happy to chat but not intrusive at all. Daisy our dog loved having the field at the back all to herself and the view was beautiful. Very clean and the master bedroom was huge! All items provided but I’m sure if you needed anything extra they would happily facilitate this for you. Peaceful setting which was exactly what we wanted. Yes there is a track to the property but unless your in the equivalent of a Morris Mini Minor you really should not have a issue! We will return to The Granary hopefully next year and will recommend to family and friends.

This was first class accommodation very clean and cosy and for the time off year very warm ( it was -4 outside).. The dog loved the long walks and the freedom to take the lead off and still be respectful to the countryside. I will return to this location in the future the night time is splendid with A CLEAR SKY with no light pollution perfect for stargazers it was brilliant.

Sheila was a fantastic host.. And a very lovely lady. She made us feel very welcome and settled. The beds were very comfortable and the bedrooms were huge! We felt right at home with all of their dogs around. We would love to go back!

Fantastic views the property was lovely although could be a little cleaner (a lot of cobwebs) but other than that well kept the Lady living at the house next door very nice and helpful even recommended a place to eat in the village which was very nice and a few places to visit and walk.. Good for people that enjoy walking and really good if you have dogs. Slightly off the beaten track but that’s what we wanted so peaceful and relaxing..

Mrs Vaux

A clean, comfy and spacious property.. The track is a little bumpy in one or two places (review of April 18) but I've done much worse! It's certainly not atrocious. I'd just recommend trying to arrive in daylight (we were delayed so did it in pitch darkness) as the last mile or so isn't lit and is single track. Once there, the views were brilliant and well worth the journey. We had a good holiday with The Granary as an excellent base and would happily return there.

Mrs Baxter

Lovely property in beautiful setting, very peaceful.. Glad we had a 4x4 for the track leading to it.

Fabulous gem of a cottage, hidden away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.. Stunning views all around the cottage. The host, Sheila, was lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Would love to visit here again!! Wonderful place to visit.

Mr Russell

Cottage was well equipped cosy welcoming and comfortable .. Sheila the owner was brilliant nothing to much trouble, bedrooms are large plenty of space and ease of access for disabled people wheel chair bound as my brother in law is.yes there is a bit of rural road leading to the cottage but I suggest in adds to its charm such a tranquil holiday great hub for visiting Edinburgh or Glasgow great walks to be had and your never far from somewhere to fish if that's your thing highly recommend.

We spent 2 weeks in June in the Granary and had a lovely time.. Shiela gave us a warm greeting on arrival and also when leaving. The cottage was spotless with absolutely everything you need included for a great holiday, Shiela also left tea coffee, biscuits and milk for a brew. Sanquhar village is just a few minutes down the hill with shops, takeaways and restaurants. The drive up does include a track road, which although rough in places it is well maintained. My absolute favourite thing about our stay had to be the silence and scenery!

The road up to this cottage is atrocious and could put some visitors off but the welcome and scenery are worth the trouble..

Mr Cowan

Sheila was the perfect host, nothing was any trouble and any questions we had were answered straight away.. The cottage was spotless and everything was as it said on the tin !

Mrs Barton

Its in a very quiet location, a short drive from the village.. The owners are very welcoming a real place away from it all.
