“The Black Bull Inn strikes me as a properly historic place, dating back to 1568, with a refreshingly unstuffy attitude-dogs are not just welcome, but actively catered for. I imagine spending an evening in their cozy bar, enjoying the big band music and old-fashioned ambiance, would be a relaxing experience after a day exploring Moffat and the surrounding hills.”
