Rooms & Guinness World Record

The Famous Star Hotel Moffat holds the Guinness World Record as the world's narrowest detached hotel, measuring only 20 feet wide. All eight rooms have been recently refurbished and come with en-suite facilities. The compact design is part of the hotel's historic charm, dating back to the 1700s.

Dining & Bars

Guests can choose between Ally's Restaurant and the Lounge Bar for traditional home-cooked Scottish meals and daily specials. The Gin Corner in the Lounge Bar offers over 50 gin varieties, while the bar also stocks a selection of real ales and more than 50 whiskies. A dedicated children's menu is available for smaller appetites.

Entertainment & Activities

On-site entertainment includes billiards, mini golf, and live music or performance events. The hotel also shows live sports broadcasts on Sky sports channels in one of its two bars. Guests can enjoy fishing on the River Annan or play a round at the nearby Moffat Golf Club (18-hole course).
