Sam and the whole team looked after us last week. We hired two bikes: a Trek full suspension mountain bike for 6 days and a Trek full suspension e-bike for half a day. They were good bikes, we’ll maintained and team always happy to adjust and replace parts as needed. The 6 day hire bike had a new chain, new cassette and new brake pads. The team were knowledgeable and friendly. Great job! ????????‍♀️????

Husband and I aren’t big forest hikers, (I’m always worried about ending up lost lol!) but staying local and reading about all the lovely walks in the area - we decided to try here. We did the cairn walk, and really enjoyed it!! such a lovely way to get out there and see nature. Easy to follow posts, and was in awe when we reached the loch. Great clear paths, it’s surprising how quick it gets dark! but loved the peace and quiet. Visited the centre for a cold drink, few people here and there but pretty quiet. Plenty of parking. We also visited the wildlife hide, beautiful birds of all kinds. Really enjoyable few hours, we’ll be back :)
