Ae Farm Cottages, direct access to the bike tracks at Ae, secure parking and washing and drying facilities. Fine views of fields and hills and a pond to cool off in.

The three cottages are part of our old stone steading and all are centrally heated by a wood fired boiler to reduce your carbon footprint. Our 60 acres sustain hedgerows, meadows, riverbanks and much wildlife as well as a fold of Highland cattle and Welsh Mountain ponies. Pets with well behaved owners are welcome.

Food & Drink - the Bike Shop at Ae does snacks, soups and the occasional meal while the Forester's Pub in the village pulls pints, but no food. The hotels of Thornhill & Moffat do the traditional fare to a high and generous standard and nouvelle and ethnic cuisines are well represented in Dumfries.

There is a market every week-end on the Whitesands in Dumfries where fruit and vegetables can usually be bought cheaply from cheery people. If all else fails there is a 24/7 Tesco’s in Dumfries.
