“Groom's Cottage strikes me as a particularly welcoming spot in Moffat, especially for those traveling with dogs. The self-contained setup feels more like a private retreat than a standard B&B, and the thoughtful touches-from fresh breakfast to well-stocked amenities-stand out. It's a comfortable base with easy access to town and walking areas, presenting exceptional value.”
