2 Bed Cottage in Mossyard, Gatehouse Of Fleet

About this property

An enticing single-storey hideaway in an enviable position in south-west Scotland, this airy cottage makes an idyllic coastal retreat. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom abode at Mossyard, 5.5 miles from Gatehouse of Fleet, also welcomes pets. Bring your canine companion and head down to the dog-friendly beach, 200 metres away, to paddle in the sea, potter among the rocks and admire the small stone labyrinth. There is sometimes a sauna in the beach car park. Visit the Cairn Holy Chambered Cairns, 3.5 miles away, which date back to the fourth millennium BC. One of the two cairns is said to be the tomb of the mythical King Galdus. Venture into Gatehouse of Fleet to browse in the shops, dine out in a hostelry and visit the Mill on the Fleet, which tells the story of the town. From here, head out into splendid Galloway Forest Park, some 12.5 miles away.

Take three steps up to enter the semi-detached cottage and find yourselves in bright accommodation with an easy flow between the different rooms. At the heart of the cottage is an open-plan lounge/diner where you can unwind in comfort between your many excursions. Settle on the soft seating to lose yourselves in the astounding views through the picture windows. Lay a fire in the wood burner during the chillier months to throw a cosy glow across the room. Set up a board game, choose or book or watch a DVD or film on the Smart TV together. This room also has ample space for the four of you to gather round the wooden table for your holiday meals. The modern kitchen, which has a convenient door out onto the sun-soaked terrace, encompasses everything you need to assist you in your culinary creations. The family shower room adjoins. There is also a handy utility room where you can rinse and dry your beach and walking gear. As the sun sets over the water and you are ready to retire for the night, wander through to the bedrooms adjoining the living space. Both the double and the bunk bedroom have been finished in the same calming neutral shades as the rest of the house and are made up with high-quality, cotton linen.

Enjoy the lovely enclosed garden at every opportunity. Watch the children and pets play games on the grass as you sip a cup of fresh coffee from the machine on the wooden bench. Cook out on the BBQ and dine on the patio against the beautiful backdrop on fine days. There is bicycle storage here and parking for one car.
