The hotel is a superb centre for fishing, golfing, hill walking, family cycling on the surrounding quiet country roads, mountain biking on the world famous 7 Stanes routes, bird watching, photography, shooting and stalking, field and water-sports or for simply relaxing and taking in the wonderful scenery. The hotel is situated on the edge of The Galloway Forest Park and the UNESCO Dark Skies Park created in 2009. The hotel is an information point for the Galloway Red Kite Trail. The woodland to the west of the hotel is used as a roost by up to as many as 35 Red Kite which frequently soar and wheel spectacularly over the hotel.
