No experience of that area I'm afraid - but the rental bikes at Glentress look decent. They have e-MTBs as well. You'd probably enjoy the red loop there, it's cross country terrain, some slightly steep bits but nothing too hairy.
Glentress area will be a bit busy this week though, EWS race happening there.

Does anyone have any experience or advice riding or renting a bike at Drumlanrig Castle? I have a few days in the area and was thinking of having some off-road fun. I could also possibly try one of the 7 stanes but Drumlanrig is by far the closest. I don’t own an mtb so would need to hire but I’m a bit nervous about quality… the only other time I’ve hired an mtb it was pretty terrible. I’m a complete novice at mtb so I’m definitely not thinking of going full red bull rampage or x games, but I do race a bit of cross so I think I’d enjoy something more equivalent to xc type riding.
