Thistle Lodges at Sandyhills - two superbly equipped A-framed lodges a few minutes walk from one of South Scotland's most magnificent sandy beaches.
Set back from the coast in a well kept private development, the lodges are traditionally constructed to a high Scandinavian standard, with have lovely views over wooded fells and a small loch.
Something very special has been created in the forests of South Scotland over the last few years. The 7stanes mountain bike routes, now acknowledged as the world's best offer over 160 km of fantastic forest biking, much of it purpose built technical singletrack.
Thistle Lodges are perfectly placed for a 7stanes holiday - adjacent to Dalbeattie, and only a short drive from Mabie, Ae, Glentrool and Kirroughtree.
For more gentle cycling adventure, several 7stanes sites, including the nearest at Dalbeattie, also have 'family circuits'.
Blainloch lodge has undercover secure storage for 2/3 bikes, both lodges have external mount points to which bikes can be locked.
