thinking of treating mrs gooner to a weekend away
is there much for her (and a young springer spaniel) to do while i go biking?

any b&b's that take dogs?

thanks

Yep…drink coffee and eat cake!
Oh, and a bit of walking! 😉

I've just re-read your post…you are "treating" a non-biker to a visit to K'tree?

Hmmmmm….

walking and eating cake!

You sound just like MrFC…"would you like to go to Ambleside for lunch?"
What he really means is he wants to go to Biketreks!!!

walking, eating cake, and having the first aid kit ready!

Have a danger **** in the car park?

Wigtown is a few miles away, and is a bit of a mecca for second hand books – there's maybe 5 or 6 shops in the town, it's sort of a theme of the place. Could easily kill a few hours there looking through stuff.

The Bladnoch distillery is also handy, if your missus is a drinker.

ETA: Just seen that she'll have the hound with her – Can she tie it up outside for a bit?

The bladnoch distillery tour was only ok and the local shops aren't anything special, however the beach is good, but only on a really nice sunny day, obviously. Unless the sun is shining, you are really going to have to make up for it in other departments, sorry. 😉

There is also Laggan Outdoor centre at Mossyard Caravan site, next to Auchenlarie on the A75. They've got lots of activities on offer and a cracking beach if the weathers nice! Its probably about 10 miles from K'tree.
