Moffat Independent Hostel 4 stars

Moffat Independent Hostel is a friendly, family run, luxury hostel that has been set up with the outdoor enthusiast in mind. Moffat is quaint town in the heart of the Southern Uplands and is a popular stop on a number of Britain's best long distance biking and hiking trails, including the Southern Upland Way & the John o’Groats to Land’s End cycling route. It also provides the perfect base for exploring this beautiful and often forgotten part of Southern Scotland, with it's castles, forests, waterfalls, lochs and vast expanse of wilderness. One of the most beautiful mansions I've ever stayed in! Hosts were fantastic! Beautiful location in residency edge of Moffat with mansions & rolling pastures & hills. The house far exceeded our expectation and made the first stay in a hostel for my family the best it could have been. I've stayed in hostels many many times on my trip around the world in '89 but this was by far the most beautiful. We will be back due to my Moffat family heritage!
