Equipment
For Western House Bed and Breakfast guests we have mountain bikes and golf clubs that they can use free of charge. Or if you like something a bit more thrilling we also have motorbikes available to hire.
You can also just sit back and relax in a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere during the day or keep snug and warm in front of a cozy open fire during the winter months.
Tours
We’re happy to organise tours of the area:
- There are half a dozen golf courses within 45 minutes drive of Western House
- John would love any excuse to take you fishing.
- Guided hunting trips are also available by prior arrangement.
