Mrs Strackbaz wants to dabble in mountain biking, but is too posh to camp 🙄

Looking for a B&B or reasonably priced hotel that folk could recommend. It can't be in the Peebles/Innerleithen area as it'll conflict with the start of the tour of Britain. Thinking Newton Stewart area?

Edit: Won't share in a bunkhouse or dorm, so Marthroown of Mabie is out.

Thanks

How about a [url= http://www.7stanes.com/object-95-marthrown-of-mabie ]yurt[/url] in Mabie forest

This place is really really cool! Straight out of your yurt onto the start of the trails. Then you can have a beer in the hot tub when you get back

Searching for Colvend, Kipford or Colvend B&B found these, all close to Dalbeattie forest, Mabie and not too far from Ae, Kirry and Drumlanrigg. For the Drum area search for Thornhill 😆

can't go too far wrong with kippford caravan park. from cheap vans to luxury lodges with hot tubs. Its quiet, not full of chavs. Dont' mind bikers and bikes and an easy walk to the pub on the coast. Less than a mile on the bike and you're on dalbeattie forest trails, 25 mins from mabie and most importantly not too far from kirroughtree either.

Kings Arms, in Castle Douglas is well situated for them all, owned by a fellow mtb'er and has a secure lock up to keep your bikes (not that CD is a crime hotspot mind!)
