A home away from home, this detached former farmhouse in the Dumfries and Galloway countryside offers a restful base for six guests to enjoy a walking, hiking or biking holiday in southern Scotland. The property sits right on National Cycle Route 7, making it a perfect choice for those hoping to explore on two wheels. Within 0.5 miles, you’ll find yourself at the centre of Gatehouse of Fleet, a small rural town with a handful of amenities, including country pubs, riverside beauty spots and a golf course (1.5 miles). Explore the magical beauty of Cally Woods (1.5 miles) on the opposite side of town, along with the rare flora found in Cally Gardens (2 miles). Begin exploring Galloway Forest Park within 5 miles, whether summiting Darngarroch Hill (4.5 miles) or enjoying a picturesque walk along the tranquil waters of Loch Grannoch (11 miles) or Loch Ken (16 miles).
Recently refurbished and finished with homely décor, this bright, spacious property offers a warm welcome from the moment you arrive. Take a step up to the entrance and into the lounge, a restful space with sofas and armchairs positioned around a wood burner and a wall-mounted Smart TV. Next door, the dining room creates a second space to unwind, whether that’s over dinner or with a family-favourite board game on the go. A third space for relaxation can be found in the cheerful sunroom, a spot with additional seating and views of the garden. Prepare dinner in the kitchen, also on this floor, complete with modern cabinets and plenty of countertop space to make the most of. A family bathroom and a handy utility room round off the ground-floor offering, with a pool table in the utility creating a fun space for younger guests to hang out. Once everyone has had their fill of late-night relaxation, make your way upstairs to bed. All three bedrooms are bright and attractive, enjoying countryside views and soft, crisp bedding. Two rooms are laid out as king-size bedrooms, and the third is a twin room which can be set up as a super-king-size on request. Finally, a second family bathroom helps to reduce morning queues when everyone is getting ready for the day ahead.
Let children enjoy the freedom of the garden, which is entirely enclosed and secure for ball games. Comprised of a grassy lawn and a furnished patio, the outdoor area enhances any summer stay. Private parking for up to three cars can be found outside the property.
