2 Bed Cottage in Gatehouse Of Fleet

About this property

Escape bustling crowds and busy towns to enjoy a short break in this rural, secluded holiday home, located on a working farm and offering quiet, peaceful surroundings for up to four guests. The property is perched on the edge of the sprawling Galloway Forest Park, a wonderful expanse of woodlands, country roads, nature trails and tranquil lochs. It’s just 4.5 miles from Laurieston, home to a Red Kite Centre, and 6 miles from the town of Gatehouse of Fleet, where you’ll find amenities including pubs, cafés, shops and a golf course. Beyond there, explore the Solway Firth coastline (11 miles), with highlights such as Mossyard Beach (11 miles) and Cardoness (9 miles). Within the forest, take in the incredible scenery along Raiders Road (11.5 miles) and discover pools along the Blackwater of Dee, where otters reside (15.5 miles). Loch Ken (10 miles) and Clatteringshaws Loch (20 miles) both offer scenic walks and water sports, perfect for those seeking adventure during their stay.

Handsomely built, this former steading has been thoughtfully converted into an enviable farmhouse on an upland farm. Step inside to an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where style meets comfort. This inviting space features a modern fitted kitchen, a cosy lounge area, and a dining space for four. Opposite the sofas, a wood burner and Smart TV create the perfect relaxation spot for unwinding after a day of exploring. When it’s time to rest, head along the hallway to the two bedrooms. Both are super-king-size rooms with zip-and-link beds, offering flexibility for different group arrangements. One bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the other has use of the family bathroom, ensuring privacy for all guests

Outside, soak up the crisp, fresh air of southern Scotland in the courtyard garden. This open patio space includes outdoor furniture and a fire pit, perfect for making the most of the surroundings. There is ample private parking available, along with secure bike storage.
