About this property

A delightful, mid-terrace cottage situated on the main street through the small town of Gatehouse of Fleet in Dumfries and Galloway. Nestling between the coast and the splendour of the Galloway Hills, it’s ideally located for a holiday in this beautiful part of Scotland. Step into the entrance hall, which then leads off into a comfortable sitting room, an ideal place to relax with loved ones. From the sitting room, there are three steps down into the kitchen, and you will find two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. The back door from the kitchen opens onto a small decked area with steps leading down to a lawned garden, where a morning coffee can be enjoyed before setting off and exploring this wonderful area. Gatehouse of Fleet is an attractive town with much to offer the visitor, including four pubs, a selection of shops and a Post Office. Explore the rich history of the area at the restored Mill on the Fleet visitor centre, Carsluith Castle or the Neolithic burial sites at Cairnholy. Enjoy the outdoor life with the abundance of walking and cycling in the area and in the nearby Galloway Hills Forest Park, or relax on one of the many excellent beaches that can be found on the River Fleet estuary. This lovely cottage is a perfect base for a couple or small family.

The small country town of Gatehouse of Fleet lies on the Solway Firth, in Dumfries and Galloway. The town offers Mill on the Fleet, a visitor centre in a former bobbin mill, which tells the tale of Gatehouse’s cotton spinning days. Also in the town are a small supermarket, chemist, bank, Post Office, two book/gift shops, a kilt making centre, two cafes and four pubs.
