About Sorbietrees B&B

Accommodation at Sorbietrees consists of double, twin and family rooms (sorry, no children under 12 years of age). We have a guest sitting room with log burning stove where you can relax after a busy day exploring the area and in summer months why not sit in the garden to relax or to watch and listen to the vast array of birds which frequent our garden.

We can provide maps and information for the area and suggestions for days out if you haven't planned your own.
