  • "Wonderful apartment very well appointed everything that you might need."

    The main bedroom with en-suite is just right.Very good for 2 adults. The second bedroom has bunk beds and a single bed which would be fine if you had children but we would not find it suitable for adult guests. Loved the fridge beeping if you didn’t close the door at once, and the security number for the front door and key safe for the apartment door. Perfect location a stones throw from the high street. Would stay again if coming to Moffat.

  • "Lovely flat, really clean and beautiful conversion."

    Great to have two bathrooms for the four of us. Moffat was a lovely town and easy access for surrounding areas.

  • "The property illustrations show a lovely brightly lit flat in a delightful old church set amid well tended flower beds."

    Reality. It suffers from years of neglect. The shrubbery and flower beds are overgrown with weeds and what lighting within the flat remains working provide a maximum illumination equivalent to 40 watt. The apartment was very cold. The underfloor heating is either cut off or not working. 2 out of 3 safety doors do not fasten nor does the shower room/toilet door. There are other faults in the shower room, bathroom and kitchen.

  • "An excellent location and clean apartment with plenty of space for up to four people."

    The appliances were good and the internet signal was strong. The parking is good even for a large car or SUV. Easy to walk into town where there are some really nice restaurants and there is usually some event going on in Moffat. On the downside we arrived to find a sink with a plug jammed and a light not working which we reported to Sykes since there was no other contact listed. We were assured the owner would fix these but heard nothing from them. The heating had a message that it was to be left set at a certain temperature and not adjusted. In fact the thermostats were at different temperatures and the place remained cold all week. The stairwell is uninviting and the maintenance on this part of the building is very poor. However, if you want somewhere convenient to explore southern Scotland then give this place a chance and hopefully maintenance and communication issues will be addressed.

  • "Lovely property in the heart of Moffat and minutes away from the motorway and a great base to explore the local area."

    A couple of issues at the start of our stay were quickly sorted by the owner and did not impact on our stay overall. The apartment was well equipped and the under floor heating and washing machine were welcome after a days walking.

  • "This is a stunning property with all the essentials and more."

    This had a very luxurious feel to it and was right in the heart of Moffat where there are lots of amenities. We also loved all the local walks. Would recommend to everyone. We had the most wonderful stay!

The property

Boasting a wonderful, central location paces away from local amenities in Moffat, Dumfries and Galloway is 5 St Mary’s Church.

This delightful, first-floor apartment benefits from a unique setting in a renovated church boasting original features such as stained glass windows as well as a welcoming, open-plan interior completed by two well-appointed bedrooms; the perfect choice for families or friends looking to explore the wonders of Moffat and the Annandale Valley.

After a day full of exploration, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and head straight for the open-plan living space to find a fully-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up tasty meals for the whole family.

Savour your culinary creations around the spacious dining table before heading into the sitting area where you can relax on the plush seating in front of the Smart TV and catch up on the memories you have created so far.

When the evening draws to a close, locate the bathroom and freshen up ahead of sloping off to sleep in either the king-size bedroom with a handy en-suite or the family room with bunk and single bed.

During the day find local amenities on your doorstep including stores where you can stock up on all of your self-catering essentials and eateries including the Stag Hotel, The Black Bull Inn and Claudio's Restaurant, which all serve delicious food, ideal for when you need a break from the kitchen.

Visitors can also brush up on their local history by touring the Moffat Museum; continue this historic excursion by venturing out of the town to see the home of Sir Walter Scott, Abbotsford, the 18th century New Lanark, Dumfries House and the breath-taking Caerlaverock Castle.

Outdoor enthusiasts will also be in their element thanks to the abundance of walking and hiking routes woven throughout the countryside, these include Croft Head, Moffat Community Nature Reserve, Whitehope Heights and Mid Crag which all reward guests with picturesque panoramas over Scotland.

About the location

MOFFAT

Dumfries 21 miles

Nestling in the Annandale valley, Moffat developed in the 17th century from a village to a spa town where the sulphurous waters of the Moffat Well were held to have the power to heal and this led to an influx of visitors throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Many of the buildings in the town date from this period and the present Town Hall was originally developed as a Bath House. The original well can still be visited and is a 1.5 mile walk from the town into the surrounding countryside. In addition to its renown as a spa town, Moffat also grew in stature due to the wool trade and also its position as a stopping point on journeys between England and Scotland. Today the town is popular with tourists and not just because of the superb scenery affording many opportunities for great walking, cycling and fishing. Situated 50 miles from Glasgow and Edinburgh, Moffat is the ideal base for travelling to events in the cities. It has a range of attractions including the Moffat Museum, theatres, art galleries and a selection of shops, cafes and restaurants. Treat yourself to some famous Moffat Toffee and don’t miss the annual Moffat Gala in July and not forgetting the renowned Moffat Sheep Races in August!
