A No 1 place to stay.
The whole stay was perfect, the room had everything you needed. The food ( breakfast/dinner )was superb so was the drink selection including a real ale. Will definitely stay here again, highly recommend it. Family owned for 30 years not a chain.

Quiet, clean, inexpensive,
Quaint small hotel in a beautiful small Scottish City. It was comfortable, warm, clean room. Restaurant and bar downstairs, we were in the middle floor. If you can get the top floor bedrooms, if not, you'll hear the squeaking floorboards above you as people walk around. Other than the squeaking, the stay was perfect, staff were great. Nice place to walk around outside. Plenty to eat and enjoy a small community.

Pleasant, good value hotel and bar/restaurant in g
We missed the hotel on our first pass following Google instructions. It does have a very narrow frontage! When we spotted it, there was a space in the fee parking just opposite. Our room was small but had a comfortable large bed. It was hot weather, but the window was easy to open to get some air through. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The steak pie and local beer were both excellent. We left early so didn't have breakfast. Moffat has a very attractive town centre with plenty of interesting shops and signposted walks.

Quirky, friendly hotel.
We really liked the location and the bar meal and breakfast were excellent. All was clean, and the small twin room was comfortable. The bathroom was small but everything worked fine. I liked the quirkiness of the building, but my partner focused on the the fact that it needs an update and the wifi did not work well in our room. The staff were efficient and very friendly. It seems overpriced, but then everything is at the moment. We parked just outside in the public parking area. I would stay again but my partner felt differently because of the erratic wifi.

We liked the old fashioned look, especially the staircase. wonderful. Now i hsve the following complaints. I believed the booking was for a twin room and included a cooked breakfast each. On arrival we were told the breakfast was £9.50 extra each (almost £20..00 extra) Then taken to our room (luggage carried for us ) which had two beds fastened together and not enough space around them. I believe there were other better rooms available that night. The breakfast was well cooked and good value. It was served to us by a very helpful member of staff, .However she coughed very alarmingly and seemed to have a cold. This took place during all the covid proceedures and was very worrying to say the least.

Tired hotel
Hotel is a little tired, as is the staff. Nobody I encountered smiled at any point of my stay. Shame really. Don’t let them put you in room 5, tv doesn’t work and Wi-fi almost non-existent. On a positive note the shower Emma’s excellent. Had high hopes for such an iconic building but sorry, won’t be back.
