Moffat, Southern Scotland

Enjoying a quiet location down a country road, this three-bedroom rural retreat is within easy reach of the vibrant market town of Moffat (2 miles). Browse the speciality shops and art galleries for a souvenir of your stay and try some famous Moffat toffee. Find out about the history of the town in the Moffat Museum, hire a swan boat to traverse the boating lake at Station Park or take in the scenery on a stroll through Moffat Nature Reserve.

Lace up your walking boots for a hike through the Moffat Hills to reach the dramatic hollow of the Devil's Beef Tub or enjoy the spectacular Grey Mare's Tail waterfall plunge 60-feet into the valley below. Surrounded by the rolling Moffat Hills and enjoying wonderful views across open fields, your holiday home enjoys a tranquil location adjoining a working farm. From the moment you pull up onto the private driveway, you will be struck by the peacefulness of your surroundings.

Step into your holiday home and the sense of peace continues with spacious accommodation decorated in neutral tones, bright soft furnishings and clean lines throughout. Your open-plan living space has a light and airy feel with large windows offering views across open farmland. After a busy day of outdoor activities, sink into the comfortable sofa with a good book or to watch a film on the TV.

The open-pan layout means your holiday cook can still join in the conversation as they rustle up a meal in the well-equipped kitchen where you will find everything you need for a comfortable stay, including an electric hob, oven and grill, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave. When your meal is ready sit around the contemporary dining table for a sociable meal and to chat about the highlights of your day. Off the living area are the three cosy bedrooms all decorated in soothing tones.

Two double bedrooms both have stylish wooden framed beds dressed with plump duvets and offering ample storage for all your belongings. The third bedroom is a snug twin with views across the countryside. The family bathroom boasts a bath and separate shower with WC, and a further shower room with WC means that freshening up after a day's adventures is easy.

Step through the French doors to your private patio to enjoy an alfresco lunch at the picnic table and enjoy the tranquillity of your surroundings. When the sun goes down, lift your eyes to the skies for some spectacular stargazing as Moffat was Europe's first Dark Skies Town.
