“This coaching hotel in the heart of Moffat offers comfortable rooms and private cottages, perfect as a base to explore the town, enhanced by free parking and Wi-Fi; I think the community vibe, felt in the bar with live music, makes it a great choice. A hearty breakfast using local ingredients sets the tone for exploring the nearby Southern Upland Way and Grey Mare's Tail Waterfall; the generous dining portions also stand out. I'd say it's a reliably friendly place to stay.”

adequate stay, disappointing service

good quality quality ingredients poor bar service lack of attention

the breakfast was well prepared with good quality ingredients.

i found the bar service quite poor one evening. the barmaid seemed to ignore me for a long time as i waited to order. eventually, i left without being served and felt quite frustrated by the lack of attention.

awful chips dated decor

The room had a fridge. Fresh milk was available inside , and a teapot and biscuits were also supplied.

The food seemed heavy due to frying. I ordered an omelette , and it lacked salad. The decor looked dated.

Charming Stay

spacious room fresh milk

The room was spacious with ample space to store clothes. I found a good range of coffee and tea making facilities, and there was even fresh milk in the fridge (a simple touch , made me smile!). The shower had plenty of hot water, which I always appreciate after a long day.

I noticed two slats were missing from the window blinds in the room. It wasn't a major issue, but it slightly affected the room's overall appearance.
