Annandale Arms Hotel
Moffat, Dumfries and Galloway

Only a minute off the motorway (M74), the Annandale Arms Hotel offers you a truly warm Scottish welcome. Set in the centre of the attractive and popular village of Moffat, you can enjoy the tranquility. We have a first class restaurant serving the best of local produce, from Buccleuch Estates beef to organic lamb from Glen Ken. Our salmon, trout and scallops are as good as Scotland gets. The cellar boasts some 100 bins with a selection of 50 malt whiskies. The hotel's convenient position in the centre of the village, but with its close proximity to the countryside, makes it a perfect base to explore the hills and glens of historic southern Scotland. The imposing Georgian façade encapsulates all that is best in traditional Scottish hospitality. This has been recognised formally by the award of the Les Routiers Gold Key 2001 for 'hotels who achieve a level of excellence above and beyond that of merely 'very good''. If you wish to visit Edinburgh or Glasgow, they are both only one hour away by car.

Moffat is a burgh and former spa town in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, lying on the River Annan, with a population of around 2,500. The most notable building in the town is the Moffat House Hotel, designed by John Adam. The nearby Star Hotel, a mere 20ft (6 m) wide, boasted a record in the Guinness Book of Records as the narrowest hotel in the world. Moffat was a notable market in the wool trade, and this is commemorated with a statue of a ram by William Brodie in the town's market place. The ram was presented to the town by William Colvin, a local businessman, in 1875. The ram is missing its ears, and has been since it was first presented. Legend has it that when Brodie realised that he had forgotten the ears he promptly committed suicide (although he did commit suicide shortly afterwards, this is unlikely to be the reason).
