CYCLING
Cyclists are particularly welcome at Rigg Cottage B&B Maybole. For those following Sustrans National Cycle Route 7 Maybole (Inverness to Carlisle/ Lochs and Glens) Rigg Cottage Bed and Breakfast provides the perfect overnight stop. Lying roughly halfway between Glasgow and Newton Stewart, this country cottage nr Maybole (4mls) is just a few minutes cycling from the crossroads marked "Cloyntie" on the outskirts of Crosshill.
Cyclists' particular needs are well catered for, with secure storage for the all-important bikes, drying facilities, and laundry (small charge) if required. Especially for cyclists, a home cooked evening meal is offered (please discuss at time of booking). Also by prior arrangement, a packed lunch can be supplied.
If you prefer not to follow the National Cycle Network Routes, and want to plan your own cycling holiday, Maybole is perfect for accessing the numerous scenic by-ways that are available, taking in some of our major attractions as you go (eg. Culzean Castle and Burns' Cottage).
