This group getaway for four places you right in the historic town of Moffat, with its bustling streets and the Dumfries and Galloway hills rising all around. Walkers are brilliantly placed at this outdoorsy haven, with some of southern Scotland’s most rewarding routes close by. Grey Mare’s Tail, one of the UK’s highest waterfalls, is within 10 miles, with a steep trail climbing beside the falls towards Loch Skeen. Just 5 miles north, Devil’s Beef Tub offers another dramatic landscape to explore, while St Mary’s Loch, 17 miles away, is ideal for gentler waterside walks, wildlife spotting, and time out on the water. When you are not moseying around the monthly farmers’ market, dip into the town’s history at Moffat Museum or make the most of its status as Europe’s first Dark Sky Town with an evening of stargazing.
This ground-floor Victorian apartment is extremely spacious and a fabulous choice for those seeking a stay with plenty of character. Vast ceilings, immense sash windows, and a wrap-around open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner invite you to congregate after exciting days of Scottish adventure. To one side are the Chesterfield-style sofas, with a Smart TV for evenings in. Tucked away yet within the open-plan space is the sizeable kitchen with all the mod cons needed for stress-free cooking, including a coffee machine for your morning caffeine fix. The dining space consists of three tables to choose from, one of which is set beside the window for lovely garden views. Head back into the hallway to access the utility cupboard. From here, two comfortable bedrooms welcome you. One boasts an en-suite shower room, while the other is within reach of the bathroom, which has a bath, shower, and WC.
When you are not admiring the ornate features of this superb property, venture into the garden to use the dining furniture and BBQ for a little alfresco treat. Surrounded by colourful blooms and leafy shrubs, this is a gorgeous spot to kick back and relax. The property also benefits from private parking for one car.
