It’s the perfect little bolt hole to enjoy either a few days or a week exploring the wonderful countryside.
There is a huge variety of attractions to keep your occupied nearby.

Just over a mile from Mabie Forest you enjoy a variety of activities including many and varied walking trails and some of the world-class 7Stanes mountain biking trails including some great singletrack, downhill and uphill. Mabie also boasts some fantastic blue and green trails for beginners, and the ever-popular Phoenix Trail is 12 miles of hugely enjoyable red-grade trails for the more experienced rider. Experts are catered for, too, with the Dark Side Northshore mountain bike trail. All this can be enjoyed only a stone’s throw away from Keeper’s Cottage!
Further afield, this beautiful area of southwest Scotland has so much more to offer, from quiet sandy coves and cliff top walks to the many castles, such as Caerlaverock and Drumlanrig. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, the area has plenty of beautiful gardens to visit, including Threave Gardens, managed by the National Trust and Logan Botanic Gardens, Scotland’s most exotic garden. A stay here would not be complete without taking a drive along the coast and a wander round the little seaside villages of Southerness, Rockcliffe and Kippford. Beach 10 miles.
