My partner Sean is an avid cyclist and today I accompanied him to Glentress where there are some fabulous mountain bike trails and walks. While he enjoyed a quick spin round the 'red run' I had a lovely walk with my friend Liz and Bella the dog. One of the best parts was a welcome coffee and homemade cake in the Hub Cafe, where all the cyclists pile in after their runs.

It reminded me of how accessible these facilities are from Edinburgh. Indeed our Newington Urban Living Apartment would be ideal for those guests who wish to stay in Edinburgh and take advantage of the fabulous Borders countryside. Moreover, Newington Urban Living has a bike lock up for guests to store their bikes.

From this apartment is is only a 45 minute drive to Glentress. Bikes can be hired at The Hub.
