The Kirkstyle Hotel is a family owned boutique hotel in the very heart of Biggar. Each of our rooms has been individually designed and the beauty of turning an old victorian building into a hotel means each of our rooms are unique. Each room has en-suite facilities and we have fully accessible rooms available.
