7 Bed Cottage in Gatehouse Of Fleet

About this property

Get the whole gang together to celebrate a special occasion at this gorgeous country home sitting in the owner’s hill farm just 4 miles outside the picturesque town of Gatehouse of Fleet. Sleeping 14 people across seven bedrooms, it’s perfect for large families or groups seeking a tranquil retreat where they can mark a special occasion together in southern Scotland. Spend a lovely day wandering along woodland trails at Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park and you may be lucky enough to spot red deer or golden eagles. Head to Solway Coast (2.5 miles) to stroll along its peaceful beaches and try your hand at kayaking or paddleboarding. Or spend a lovely day in Gatehouse of Fleet (4 miles) discovering the 18th-century mill and 15th-century castle. Further afield, make your way to Castle Douglas (17 miles) to browse and sample some of the beers on offer at Sulwath Brewery.

Take three steps up and you’ll find a welcoming front vestibule. Make your way to the sitting room, where you'll find a lovely blend of traditional charm and cosy comfort. Take a moment to admire the loch views before you head to the farmhouse-style kitchen to whip up some dinner. Host an elegant dinner at the dining room, which is warmed by a traditional wood burner. Afterwards, head back to the sitting room to relax by the glow of the wood burner. Head upstairs and you’ll find six bedrooms: a double with an en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath, a super-king-size with an en-suite shower room, a bunk bedroom with full size bunks and a pull-out single bed, and three more super-king-size bedrooms. The super-king-size beds can be converted into single beds on request. The seventh bedroom is a single on the ground floor. There’s also an additional shower room and a family bathroom with a bath.

Step out onto the terrace and take full advantage of the charcoal BBQ and firepit area. It’s a great spot for stargazing.
