  • Moffat
    • Famous Star Hotel 44 High Street Moffat DG10 9EF Telephone(01683) 220156

      The Famous Star Hotel is recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the narrowest detached hotel in the world. The building is 20 feet wide and 162 feet long but feels much bigger due to the clever use of internal space. It offers excellent service.

      The Star has at least one beer available all year round. There is a large public bar downstairs with entry at the rear, and a smaller lounge accessed from the front.

      Moffat is a good base for exploring the Southern Uplands and there are excellent walks nearby.
