Easy access to National Cycle Route 7

We booked 3 nights at this CL which was a great base for us to get out on our bikes. The small town of Newton Stewart has, amongst other shops, a reasonably well stocked Aldi and a Sainsbury's next door - so these were our first port of call before arriving at the CL.Once we arrived we checked out the toilet block - extremely clean - but there is a small charge for using the shower and also a charge for using the Wifi - so we opted to use our own facilities as well as the data on our phones. There is excellent mobile phone reception. Not having a tv in our motorhome we can't comment on the reception. Access to NCR7 is just across the main road - so day one we cycled anti-clockwise to Gatehouse of Fleet and then onwards to the Red Kit Feeding Centre (again). Yet again the birds refused to come in to feed - so we left at 3. We then headed up to New Galloway and cycled back to the CL through the Galloway Forest - which was lovely. The final part of the 7 was on a main road and the road was pretty busy due to a cross-country motorsports event going on. Day 2 we cycled the NCR7 clockwise up through Newton Stewart and the RSPB Wood of Cree before veering off towards Glenvernoch and then looping back on ourselves through the Penningham Forest. The CL was fully booked all the time we were there which was good to see. We were quite surprised as to the vicinity of the CL - we were envisaging it to be literally on the outskirts of the Galloway Forest and not as close to the A76 as it was, but considering how close it was to the major road, the CL was extremely quiet at night. The pitch was fully serviced which was great as it meant easy draining of our grey waste - always a plus factor for us.
