Five-star accommodation for six guests awaits in this countryside setting on the outskirts of Gatehouse of Fleet, a fantastic destination for walking, hiking, cycling and so much more. The town is just 1.5 miles away along a scenic country lane, where you can soak up stunning hill views en route to its pubs, shops and cafés. On the edge of town, discover Cally Woods (1 mile), Cally Gardens and Cally Palace Golf Course (both 2 miles), one of many excellent courses in the area. Venture a little further to the Solway Firth, heading to Carrick Beach (6.5 miles), where a small sandy bay provides the perfect starting point for coastal walks. For water sports, travel inland through the Galloway Forest to Loch Ken (16 miles), a tranquil spot ideal for walking, wild swimming, paddleboarding and fishing.

This timber-clad lodge has been thoughtfully designed to create a spacious, airy and light-filled retreat, offering a comfortable stay for six guests. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home, with patio doors and expansive picture windows stretching across one wall to showcase the surrounding hill views and create a seamless connection to the outdoors. The kitchen is fitted with sleek, modern units and appliances, while the contemporary dining table sits conveniently alongside. In the lounge, plush sofas are arranged around a Smart TV, creating a cosy yet sociable space to unwind. Along the hallway, a utility room adds convenience with laundry facilities and storage for suitcases. The sense of space continues into all three bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite, while the others share a stylish family bathroom. The master bedroom features a super-king-size bed, a second Smart TV and its own en-suite shower room. A second super-king-size bedroom also includes a Smart TV, while the third bedroom offers a versatile super-king-size zip-and-link bed that can be arranged as twins on request.

Step outside to enjoy the surrounding landscape, with a large, unenclosed garden featuring a decked patio that leads onto a grassy lawn. The patio is furnished with a picnic table, perfect for al fresco dining. Private parking for two cars is also available.

Accommodation was spacious, wonderful views (even though with the time of year it was a little misty) everything was there that was needed - it was like a home from home
