Our second stay, coming up with excuses to visit a third time.
Pros:

This place is unique, if you ride a motorcycle, cycle, or walk or just appreciate good food, this is a gem for you.
Secure parking under cover for motorcycles and little garages for £5 a night for your steed of choice.
The rooms are comfortable and warm.
The food has a South African slant. Try the special Bobowtie with a glass of white port.

Pros:

Het is een hotel van motorrijders voor motorrijders waar het enige doel lijkt te zijn hun gasten tevreden te laten vertrekken. Je kreeg alles wat je wil zonder er extra voor te hoeven betalen. We hebben het enorm naar onze zin gehad

A fantastic stay in a wonderful hotel..!!
Pros:

To say that Dave and all of the team went the extra mile in everything they did is a huge understatement. Myself and my friend were warmly greeted as we rode our motorbikes into the secure parking area behind the hotel, and Dave then went on to show us the 'garage' which contained all the free to use cleaning products, buckets, cloths, oils for topping up, even spare dust caps for tyre valves. There was a compressor, jet washer, tools etc etc, basically everything a biker could possibly need..
At dinner, Dave was there checking all was well with us, and chatting about bikes and many other interesting topics. Seeing that I'd used up my Mango Chutney for the wonderful South African dish 'bobotie' that I was eating, and my friend had devoured his chips, more of both were brought out for us..
At breakfast (which was fabulous), Dave was asking about the route we were about to go on, and very kindly brought out a map showing some great alternatives avoiding the usual tourist routes. So thoughtful..
All of the team at the hotel served us politely, courteously, and with a big smile. Everyone was a genuinely lovely person, and this came across in everything they did.. Simply exceptional!
Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the best hotel I've stayed in. Besides the brilliant staff, my room was very comfortable, and it had everything I needed...
I'm back there in August, and will be booking a few days next year to better explore the area..
Thanks once again..!!

Perfect little hotel
Pros:

I stayed here whilst attending a wedding nearby and I was made to feel very welcome. The room was very well appointed with more than adequate supplies for tea and coffee making. A really comfortable bed as well. The hotel has a cosy lounge and an alternative lounge/tv room. Breakfast was cooked to order . I really enjoyed the full Scottish breakfast with really tasty eggs and bacon. I would love to come again for a longer stay and would recommend this hotel and the little town of Moffat

The best Motorbike Hotel.
Pros:

What an amazing Hotel, staff are amazingly friendly. The owner greeted us on our arrival, introducing us to the the very safe motor bike storage place and all cleaning stuff.
Introduced us to the staff and asked if we needed anything.
The room is brilliant with everything you need.
The food was especially great and can honestly say, the hottest meal I’ve had in an hotel.
Oh the shower is also fantastic and hot.
Booked Gagarin for August.

Thanks again for making us feel welcome and can sleep knowing our pride possessions are safe and monitored.
