The open-plan bar and eating area is light and airy, with a small 'snug' away from the restaurant. NOTE - The pub is closed over winter late November to March. The hotel dating from 1568 is the oldest building in Moffat still in use and possibly one of the oldest hotels in Scotland. It has connections with the history and literature of southern Scotland: being a centre for government troops during the time of the Covenanters; and a visiting place for Robert Burns when an Excise Officer. Bus services connect Moffat with Dumfries, Lockerbie, Glasgow and Edinburgh. There is a connection by bus to the West Coast Main Line train services at Lockerbie.
