MTB BREAKS
A mountain biking mecca - converted bothies near the world-renowned 7Stanes MTB trails
We are centrally located on South West Scotland's Solway Coast providing easy access to some of Britain's finest mountain biking venues.
The 7Stanes, described as Scotland's Biking Heaven, are based around seven trail centres throughout Southern Scotland.
There are six MTB trails within easy reach of the Bothies. Dalbeattie is on our doorstep, Mabie is 15 minutes drive and another four trail centres are within 40 minutes, including Kirroughtree, Ae, Glentrool & Drumlanrig Castle's Old Skool trails.
Suitable for all
- the trails are graded similar to ski runs. Consisting of easy wide open forest roads, to technical single tracks, making them suitable for riders of all abilities including families and beginners, to experienced offroad cyclists and elite riders. Dalbeattie also has a skills loop, raised board walks and the legendary SLAB, a nerve-testing sheer face of granite. Also home to the annual Hardrock Challenge, Dalbeattie's 25km red route is arguably the toughest and most technical in the UK.
We have secure bike storage, a bike wash down area and a large washing and drying area for dirty kit.
The local bike shops are in Dalbeattie and Castle Douglas covering Giant, Specialised, Cube, Merida, Kona, Ghost and Lapierre.

Road riders and tourers will savour the quiet country lanes and back waters as you plan a meandering route from village and town along the stunning Galloway coastline and through dramatic countryside.
