We were so happy to see Cross Cottage again! Its like going home for us. Everything you need for a cosy and comfortable break. Close to town for great eating places and local emenities of Gatehouse of Fleet. Lots of walks from the doorstep. Close to the larger towns and some nice beaches. We love this area of Scotland. .The cottage is beside the golf course and you may catch a cricket match from the back garden if you're lucky.

Cross Cottage is a delightful residence and we are happy to recommend it as a holiday venue. The cottage is situated just off the access drive to Cally Palace and overlooks the local cricket ground. The surrounding woodlands and estate grounds offer much scope for walking and some excellent walks are suggested, with maps and directions, in the information folder in the cottage. The town of Gatehouse of Fleet is easily accessed either walking through the woods or by car along the local roads. The cottage is very comfortable and well kitted out and the garden is perfect to enjoy the sunshine. The rooms are nicely sized so that two people can readily move about and store belongings without any inconvenience. We very much appreciated the little notes around the cottage as welcome reminders as to how to ensure everything around the cottage ran smoothly and we did not consider these at all intrusive and smiled at the poetry. Gatehouse is a lovely town and is well worth exploring. Located somewhat centrally in Dumfries and Galloway, it allowed easy access to trips out in all directions and the variety of places to visit and vistas in coastlines, hills and mountains, woodlands and fieldscapes all made for wonderful days out. We shall certainly be returning in the coming months. Thank you.
