The residents lounge, with open fire on chilly evenings, has a varied selection of books, magazines, games, postcards and touring information.

Kirkton House has an 'Internet Cafe' allowing guests to send and receive e-mail messages and view internet pages from the comfort of the lounge - plus wireless internet access throughout for guests with laptop computers.
