Kayantics

Located in and around the rivers and hills of Dumfries and Galloway in beautiful Moffat. You’ll see me pictured with our “business plan on a stick” which is all currently in the works. For now, you can stay in our Shepherds Hut, buy a scrumptious wood fired pizza, book onto a kayaking course, hire a mountain bike, take a guided hike in the hills around Moffat and enjoy a good coffee at base.

Small animals to visit and free play park make it a suitable destination for any traveller. Wheelchair friendly with all areas on the one level and and food intolerances catered for as best we can. Table bookings can be taken to make your visit extra special and help give staff an advanced warning of any large parties or special occasions, helping make your visit even more unique. Caravan site small but perfectly situated not far from the town centre so easily access for evening walks and for popping to the pub or for a meal. Booking is essential for guaranteed electric spaces. We have small accommodation pods now for hire, between the months of April and October. These can be booked through us or Airbnb. Linen is included with these cabins so it makes ideal stop of points if your walking or cycling.

Visited Green Frog twice on our short motorcycling trip to Moffat. Really nice gem of a place in lovely peaceful surroundings. So enjoyed our coffee and cake and browse in garden centre & shop on the Friday that we went back for breakfast Saturday. Great fresh cooked food (and those amazing cakes!!) Lovely friendly staff made us feel really welcome - took time to make sure every area Covid-safe and that we had everything we wanted. Highly recommend a stop here - ideal location if you're travelling up or down. We will definitely be back and hope to book into one of the pods and stay longer.
