“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.”

The bunk bed in the family room was such a treat for the kids. They loved it! we also had coffee pods in the room. and the kettle was so convenient for making tea first thing in the morning.

the instant coffee wasn't my favorite. but it did the trick in a pinch.
