Nestling in the heart of Southern Scotland, Moffat is a conservation town midway between Carlisle, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Only 21 miles from Dumfries, Moffat is a vibrant, bustling town offering the warmest of Scottish welcomes. Lying less than a mile from the A74(M), it’s the ideal place to stop and, once visited, will surely be your favourite place to visit again and become the perfect hub for a stay in Dumfries & Galloway and the Scottish Borders – a beautiful and unspoiled part of Scotland.

Moffat is an attractive town, with a rich heritage and history and a thriving cultural, creative, and musical scene. While you’re here, you’ll probably want to explore the fascinating story of our town. We’ve got Scotland’s first modern wood fired distillery producing whisky, gin and fruit whisky liqueurs, cafes, pubs, restaurants, art galleries, shops galore and a theatre.

Moffat hosts numerous fun events throughout the year and is famous for the Grey Mares Tail the 5th highest waterfall in the UK. A farmers market held the 2nd Sunday of each month. Moffat was named Europe’s first Dark Sky town making it a great place to stay and stargaze.

From walking and cycling to fishing and golfing, there’s so much to do in Moffat’s wonderful countryside. So put your walking boots on, push the pedal to the metal or tee off! Whatever outdoor activity you love most, you’ll love what Moffat has to offer.

Moffat has over 300 square kilometres of hills and if your stay is brief there is a beautiful loop along the A708 to St Mary’s Loch, allowing you to head back via Megget and Talla reservoirs and the Devil’s Beef tub.

A paradise for dog walkers with so many places to really let your 4-legged friends run and play.

Petrol head? Then get on your bike or into your car and tour the stunning landscape of the South of Scotland from the comfort of your Moffat base.

Cyclist? You’ll love our challenging hills and dales and our easy access to the best that the 7Stanes mountain biking routes have to offer.

If you prefer two legs to two (or four) wheels, you’ll enjoy our spectacular walks around Moffat – there’s something here for every ability, whether you’re looking for a gentle amble or a strenuous hike up the Moffat Hills.

If golf is more your style, play your way around Moffat’s historic 18-hole golf course set amid stunning scenery.

There’s a wide range of fun activities available throughout the year in Moffat to make some special memories!

Lovely stay
The cottage was clean and comfortable and the location for us was perfect. This property is on 3 floors and now understand why there is a lack of photos for this property, but location and price was key for us. This property is better suited for younger travelers and not people who are not used to stairs or in their 60s and 80s. Communication with the host was excellent and answered messages promptly and great willingness to help with anything else.
