Property needs a full overhaul.Bathroom covered in mould and smells it too.Needs upgrades on window coverings and furniture in living area. Hot tub was good, wasn’t sure if the properties above were residential or not, but was very un relaxing when they were stomping around above you.The Black Bull at the end of the road was fantastic for drinks and food.

The accommodation is set in a super location close to the town but still quiet enough not to notice. Modern inside and well equipped. Few glitches with the property but the owner was responsive and tried to resolve. It would have been nice to use the hot tub when we arrived as we did wait until the next day for it to be the correct temperature, nevertheless we got plenty use out of this thereafter. A little bit of TLC to the outside space would have made this property a complete winner! What would have also been a bonus, is if an information booklet was present re: working equipment and general info of the area. Moffat is a lovely little thriving town with a selection of pubs/shops/cafes and set by the river Annan so nice to stroll of an evening. We explored lots of nearby venues - Grey Mares tail/ Lochaben/ drove an hour ish to Edinburgh/ had a lovely roast in the Black Bull Inn- literally on the doorstep. Overall, we would come back here for its perfect location , affordability and comfort.
