While preparing breakfast, Catherine and John particularly enjoy engaging with our guests. We like to think that our breakfast options of Granola or porridge with berries or cereals followed by our two egg breakfast of scrambled organic eggs - we actually know each of the hens by name - on bloomer bread with smoked salmon, or prosciutto and tomato accompanied by fair trade organic fruit juice and fair trade filter coffee and toast and preserves will set you up for the rest of the day. Alternatively, if you suffer food intolerances etc we are happy for you to breakfast on your own provisions in our charmingly modest kitchen with coffee etc laid on.

Originally a genteel little spa town, Moffat has developed over the centuries into a charmingly modest yet day-to-day working county village/town. Blessed with fine speciality shops, nonetheless it has managed to retain traditional family owned shops and businesses such as independent hardware stores, a craft butcher's shop and a picturesque working blacksmith's smiddy in the centre of town. For walkers on a tight schedule, there are several fairly short riverside walks. For the more adventurous, well marked local country walks take you around the village and onto the surrounding hills. For the more strenuous, we have several young pairs of Golden Eagles nesting in the Moffat hills. The famously scenic Moffat Beeftub route to Edinburgh and or the sublimel St Mary's Loch run makes for a glorious day's motoring, biking or touring by bicycle. Nearby, the Grey Mare’s Tail nature reserve with its waterfalls leading up to Loch Skeen is a spectacular place to visit at any time of year.
