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 keen cyclists, both road and mountain (although the high end trails at Kirroughtree are beyond our abilities).
I have completed the Birmingham Velo 100, a 100 mile sportive and would love to, but haven't yet, completed the Loch Ness sportive.

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.
We also have excellent facilities for cyclists at the B&B from storage, to a workshop where we keep spare tyres, inners, wheels, bearings, cables and brake blocks.

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.
Based on this scale, the Galloway Forest Park's scores range from 21 to 23.6 which gives us as near to total darkness as you can get given the populations around us.
Stables Guest House is directly behind the popular Newton Stewart Museum.
