Cozy , clean and comfortable little flat yards away from the local Spar.Woodland walks on the doorstep. Situated in a very quiet village.This was a very chilling , relaxed holiday in beautiful surroundings. The weather was kind to us. The Masonic Arms at the top of the village is well worth popping into for a meal. Perfect break

No 7 at Gatehouse of Fleet was ideally suited for my wife and I.Lovely accommodation, decorated to a high standard, with a small but adequate kitchen. Very comfortable bed & lovely walk in shower.The welcome pack of eggs, bread, biscuits was a lovely gesture.Host was very quick to respond to our questions.Perfectly situated for touring around the Dumfries and Galloway area. Spar shop, post office and pubs all within short walking distance.If ever we comeback to this beautiful area we would certainly look at coming back to No 7.Thank you.
