Fay has been a primary school teacher in Birmingham, for 18 years and I've worked as an IT consultant, also in the Midlands for over 30 years. During 2017, I was offered a voluntary redundancy package, I also inherited some money after my Mom passed away. This has enabled us to live our dream of living somewhere as beautiful as Galloway, and running a B&B.
Fay and I are very keen cyclists, one of the reasons we came here on holiday, before moving here to run the B&B, was to cycle. Well known are the mountain biking centres at Kirroughtree and Glentrool, but maybe less well known are the quiet scenic roads for road cyclists and the superb forestry tracks, ideal for gravel/adventure cyclists.
Forestry Commission Scotland has established part of Galloway Forest Park as the first Dark Sky Park in the UK. The Sky Quality Meter (SQM) scale is from 0 to 25. You would get a reading of 8 in the middle of a major city such as Glasgow or Edinburgh, whereas a 24 would be measured in a photographer's dark room.
Within a 30 mile radius of the Stables Guest House you will find a wide range of activities and attractions available with something to suit all interests be it sport and leisure, hill walking, history and archaeology or bird watching. With various routes marked through the town, Newton Stewart is the ideal base for cyclists of all abilities.

The guest house was conveniently located close to local amenities and bus stops. It was spotlessly clean, light and airy. The breakfast was well presented, with a varied menu and nicely cooked. The hosts, Dane and Fay, were most welcoming, and a mine of useful information about walks in the area--particularly valuable to someone like myself who has never visited or walked in this region before. Having stayed in several Bed and Breakfasts over the years, I would be no exaggeration to say that Dane and Fay "went that extra mile."
