Fantastic location, pretty cottage, homely, cosy with everything needed for a relaxing winter break.

Firstly I wan5to say Meg the owner is a fantastic lady if you ever need to contact her.

What a fantastic property and exactly as listed.

We stayed at the cottage for 7 nights.

Property could do with some tlc.

We stayed at this cottage for 4 nights in September 2025.

Fantastic cottage with a great location to the town. This place was brilliant and beautiful from the start, big open space with beautiful outside garden to wind down and relax. Surrounded by restaurants and bars all within 5mins walk. Just perfect altogether

Beautiful immaculate cottage with comfortable beds. Ideal location in the centre for eating out and as a base for daytrips further afield. Would definitely recommend.

What a. Beautiful property. Our stay was great. The walkability was awesome. Highly recommend.

The shepherdess cottage is beautiful, Meg is super helpful and brought us a wonderful welcome gift. Close to all amenities, lovely cafes and great walks.

Absolutely amazing place to stay. Meg is the perfect host and on hand for any issues that arise. This is our second visit to The Shepherdess Cottage and both times have been fantastic. Cleanliness perfect, kitchen amazing and outdoor area wonderful. Will definately be back. Thank you Meg for looking after us.

Only downside was previous weather must have destroyed the garden canopy so ... Only downside was previous weather must have destroyed the garden canopy so garden was off limits when it rained ,,,otherwise fabulous cottage probably the best we have stayed in

We have just enjoyed a great week at the shepherdess cottage. From the outside it looks like a traditional cosy cottage once inside you are greeted with beautiful modern living room and kitchen with everything you need. The property is in a fantastic location with shops and many lovely places to eat and drink on your doorstep. We would definitely recommend shepherdess cottage.

Absolutely amazing expertly designed cottage in Moffat. Layout is stunning with beautiful kitchen extension leading to paved garden with hot tub. Kitchen has everything you would need for a break away. Stunning upstairs bedroom with amazing walk in shower and bath, comfortable well laid out ground floor bedroom with walk in shower and toilet. Cleanliness deserves a 10 out of 10! Meg, the lady who looks after the property is easily contacted and looks after every fine detail. Now our second time of booking and we will definately return. Our perfect home from home! Thank you to the owners for giving us the privilege of renting their beautiful property and to Meg for looking after us!!!! J

This is a bold little cottage! The inside is not like the outside. Decorated to a really high standard with lots of quirky bits and pieces but also has everything you'll need for a great stay. The amazing Sky Glass and surround sound in the living area makes for a fab night in and the kitchen let's you cook both big or small with the help of a built in ovengrillmicrowave to compliment the huge gas hob and oven. The comfort of the beds is luxurious and the roomy showers are an explosion of force and warmth. Highly recommend.

Had a wonderful stay at shepherdess cottage in Moffat. The cottage is very stylish and well equipped. Moffat is a lovely town as well.

Had a wonderful stay at shepherdess cottage in Moffat.

Stayed for a week over Christmas 2024. Lovely and well equipped cottage that was decorated for Christmas. Welcome hamper was provided which was a nice surprise. Kitchen area spacious with a large amount of personal cupboard space available. Living area cosy with wall mounted TV and log burner. Both bedrooms and bathrooms well presented. Stair gate appreciated to stop dogs going to upstairs bedroom.On road parking at the front of the property was never a problem. Enclosed patio area at the rear. Very dog friendly. Overall with the exception of the wet weather a great stay was had at Shepherdess Cottage.

Fabulous. Just a beautiful property. Living room wonderful, kitchen wonderful, bathrooms wonderful. It's just all wonderful. Yards from nearest pub and shops, although I believe that pub shuts from 1st December to 1st March. There are other pubs but we did not try them. Road noise can be a bit noisy during the night but a small price force property this good. I'd recommend buying a good supply of logs on the way. The welcome logs only lasted an hour, and the large bag we bought for the remaining 4 days only lasted 2 days. So you don't want to be buying the small bags from the petrol stations. And you don't want to not be using the wonderful burner underneath the massive tv. Hot tub also fantastic. Found some nice dog walks right out of the front door. Moffat is a nice town and the people are nice too. 5 recommendation from me !

What an absolute delight it was to stay in the Shepherdess Cottage. The decor and furnishings were tasteful, well thought out, beautiful and comfortable. From the luxurious towels to the bath robes. The cottage was spotless and in a great position for ambling around the village. A big thank you to Meg for giving us the run down before we arrived. Plus the bags, dog treats and refreshments when we arrived. Would definitely recommend

What an amazing cottage, Meg certainly has all bases covered! Excellent location, extremely comfortable and very dog friendly. A fantastic base for local exploration with some great dog friendly restaurants nearby. We visited with my parents and the layout of the cottage gave us our separate personal spaces as well as great living and kitchen areas. And the hottub was an amazing treat at the end of the day adventuring or at the start of the day before getting started. Highly recommend

We loved our stay at the Sheperdess Cottage! ! The property is stunning, and has everything you need. There is nothing they havent thought of!! The bed was so comfortable, just what we needed after long walks with the dogs. A great location, walking distance to shops, pubs and restaurants. Very dog friendly, we would definitely stay here again!!

Well appointed cottage in a great location. Generally a good stay, but some of the decor and furnishings could do with a refreshmaintenance, as they are showing signs of wear and tear. Also, a bit more attention to the cleaning as there were plenty of cobwebs and dust on lampsartificial plants etc. There is no mirror at all in the downstairs bedroom which was impractical. The owner wasn't particularly responsive to messages to get code for key safe or answer a few queries before arrival. They were actually in the property after the 4pm checkin time. Beds are very comfortable so we were well rested and the hot tub is very clean as someone comes midweek and again at the end of the stay to check it and clean it. There are plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants within walking distance of the cottage and several are dog friendly.

We had a lovely stay at Shepherdess Cottage. The location was excellent and Meg had thought of everything that we might need. The cottage was beautiful and we would certainly stay again.

Had a lovely week at the cottage. It was exactly as described and photographed. Moffat was a lovely town, Spice India takeaway was delicious, however a korma was very spicy and the Moffat Chippy was the best for fish and chips. Behind the cottage towards the entrance of the campsite there is woodfired pizzas on a Friday and Saturday which were delicious, 4 pizzas were only 30. Lots of nice walks in the area and owners were on hand for info. More cutlery is needed especially when dishwashers was on.

The property was fantastic and we loved it. My dad had a fall and the owner was very supportive and understanding, we really appreciate that. We look forward to retuning to the cottage at some point

What a beautiful cottage! It had everything we wanted. Lots of useful kitchen equipment, a lovely hot tub, comfortable beds, top end decor, secure garden for the dog and a covered patio for when it rained. It also had a gas BBQ which we didnt use because of the weather. Theres TVs in every room with a fabulous sound system and the WiFi is reliable. The cottage is so close to several pubs, cafes and restaurants that we barely used the kitchen! The ground floor bedroom and shower room would be great for less mobile guests, also. The surrounding countryside is wonderful and there are numerous little towns and villages within an easy drive to explore. We only wish wed had more time there. Thanks to Meg for your information, extra little treats and your warm welcome!

Cottage was nice and spacious,although living area and bedroom dull lighting,good kitchen nice slabbed back for dogs

An absolutely outstanding property which definitely will not disappoint. It has everything that you could possibly wish for and so much more. It is luxurious but this is combined with such a homely feel. The location is fantastic with all shops and cafes within walking distance to the cottage. We had 2 dogs with us and the enclosed back garden was safe to let them both roam about in. The surrounding area has fantastic walks with lots of woods and water to splash about in. On return from walking the hot tub was such a welcome luxury and we enjoyed it every day. Meg the owner is fantastic and made us feel so welcome. She could not have done more to make our stay enjoyable. My only gripe is that we were only there for 4 nights which definitely wasnt long enough. We will definitely return to this wee gem of a cottage xx

My wife and I had a lovely 4 night break at Shepherdess Cottage. It was in a great location within minutes of good shops, restaurants and hotels. The cottage was very well equipped and very clean. The owner Meg done everything she could to ensure we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Any queries or concerns we had Meg delt with them promptly and courteously. The hot tub was great and secluded. All in all we had a lovely stay and Moffat is a very friendly place. We would definitely return, thank you Meg for all you done for us.

Just returned from a week at the cottage . The cottage is furnished and decorated to a high standard, the owners have certainly gone the extra mile to provide the wow factor. Upon arrival it was spotless clean and very welcoming. The cottage has everything that you could possibly need the owners have listened to the previous guests requests and provided requested items ie mirror and hairdryer. The outside courtyard was great for our 2 dogs fully enclosed so no worries with let them out. Hot tub was great especially after a day of walking. Meg the owner was on hand to answer questions we had on the first day. The cottage is located on a busy road but we had no issues with sleeping during the night. We were able to park right outside the cottage all week except Saturday when we had gone out in the car and returned to find the park spaces full but we found a spot across the road. Location is great Black Bull pub right on the doorstep we had food there a couple of times was really good. Lots of other places for food and drink in the village. Overall a great cottage and would definitely return if we go back to Moffat

We stayed for 3 nights and had a lovely time. The owner Meg, is extremely helpful and thoughtful. A really nice location and everything thought pf you would need.

Had a lovely week's stay in the cottage. The house is decorated to a high standard, it is larger than it appears in the photos and the winding staircase gives it so much character. Thank you for the shortbread on arrival they went down a treat. The sofa in the living room was so comfortable, it was difficult to get up after. The hot tub is very large, and could easily fit up to six people in it. The town of Moffat, while small has lots to do, it has plenty of cafes and pubs. There is an outlet shop 5 minutes away from the cottage with a lovely cafe, but be warned you can buy some stuff cheaper in other shops in the town. The toffee shop is also worth a visit to try some Irn Bru fudge. Some things to note about the cottage, it is located on a main road, so could be quite noisy with HGV's passing in the night. Parking is located on the street, but we never had an issue parking outside the cottage. A dressing table would be useful in the house as there was nowhere to do my hair and makeup and a hairdryer would also be useful. A guest book would be appreciated as I enjoy reading other people's recommendations of places to visit. In the information booklet it says you can connect your phone to the TV speakers in the room, however, when we attempted this the TV froze. When we contacted the owner asking how to resolve this, we were told not to connect our phone to the TV, so this needs amending in the information book as it is misleading. After leaving the property we were contacted by Sykes to say we would need to pay an extra fee for additional cleaning to the hot tub. This was surprising as we were present as the hot tub was refilled, and there didn't seem to be an issue. After 5 days we received another message from Sykes to say the matter had been closed with no information provided. This caused unnecessary stress and put a negative end to an otherwise enjoyable holiday.
