The Famous Star Hotel Moffat

Very warm welcoming business, good affordable food, comfortable bed and absolutely spotlessly clean! 10 out of 10. You can always tell a family run business, the vested interest and attention to detail shines through, I have only stopped here once but would not hesitate to recommend it.

My partner and I booked the Star for one night on our way home from Yorkshire to Scotland. After letting staff know about a small problem with a toilet extractor fan, we were immediately moved to another room by the lovely owner Alison. We booked dinner in the upstairs restaurant. It was great and very affordable. The bar/waiting staff were attentive, without being intrusive. The full Scottish breakfast is amazing. We had a friendly relaxed chat with Alison again at breakfast. Well done on your 40 years in business next year.

Tenth-ish time here. Just booked another table for a couple of weeks from now. Once again, the meal was excellent, staff were very attentive and the prices were very good. We are keen caravanners and Moffat is one of our favourite places to be. As long as that’s the case, The Famous Star will be the place for a meal! Thanks again folks.

Have regular ate here but never again!!! staff appeared friendly order the soup of the day which was lentil & chicken tikka masala. soup arrived ate some but could not carry on had a strong taste of vinegar, when the waitress took the plates away she asked it everything was ok ? i told her i could not finish the soup as it tasted of vinegar & my husband said the same, she said i should have said earlier!! the curry arrived & looked lovely but was lacking in the taste of curry! but we ate it. we over heard another couple asked about the soup to which the waitress replied it's no longer lentil but now carrot & coriander!! when we paid the bill another waitress served us & again asked if everything had been okay i told her how awful the soup had been she asked had we said to waitress to which i replied "yes" i also asked why the soup was now changed since my complaint to which i was told "it's finshed" but she made no adjustment to the bill which was still at the full price. we will not be returning worst food we have ever had on the many occasions we have visited.

Fascinating building, lovely friendly staff, comfy, clean, cheerful room. Hot, good pressure shower. Delicious meal in a cosy dining room, we were too full for two puddings so they smiled and brought us one with two spoons. Be aware, the twin room was small, but you'd really have to expect that from the uniqueness of the building. I'd happily recommend the Star.

Stayed close by with family and they recommended here to eat. Partner had the chicken & leek pie which was absolutely massive! But the reason I’m writing the review is for the creamy Cajun chicken with mashed potato’s! Oh My Gosh it was amazing! So much so we asked the lad serving us if we could buy a tub of the gravy haha! Honestly the flavour was brilliant! The decor downstairs was lovely but it didn’t follow upstairs but please don’t be put off by that because the food was lovely and the staff even more so. Will definitely be back again!
