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.

The landlord has plans to offer real ale from spring 2024, depending upon demand. Please check before you travel to avoid disappointment.
