    All Weather Entertainment :

    We have a games room with Snooker and Ping-pong. This is shared with the Bed & Breakfast guests. It is beside the boiler, so keeps cosy and is a good place to dry outdoor clothes.

    We have some bicycles to lend, and being six miles from where the bicycle was invented, we have some excellent quiet roads. For the more adventurous, we are close to Ae and Mabie forests - the Seven Stanes.

    We have a walking leaflet with walks starting and finishing at Low Kirkbride, as well as local walking leaflets for those walking further afield.
