Gatehouse of Fleet Lodge

Get back to nature with a fresh-air adventure in the gorgeous location of Galloway. This high-quality holiday escape is ideal for one or two people looking to get out and about. With walking, cycling, golf, fishing and more all available in the area, there are also nearby beaches and rocky shorelines that offer the chance for a day on the sand and for trying some water sports. The charming town of Gatehouse of Fleet is only a mile away, where you'll find a selection of shops, pubs and places to eat, while the 'artists' town' of Kirkcudbright, 8 miles away, offers pretty pastel houses set along wide streets, plenty of independent shops, and an incredible arts-and-crafts trail. Castle Douglas, 13.5 miles away, is renowned for its array of places to eat and food businesses, while Threave Garden & Nature Reserve, 13 miles away, is a must for garden lovers.

This lovely getaway is set on a small holiday site with just eight properties in total. Take one step up and through the patio doors, into the bright, open-plan living space. Here, white walls and wood-laminate floors are the backdrop to comfortable furnishings and thoughtful touches – you'll have both Wi-Fi and the luxury of underfloor heating. A carefully planned corner kitchen includes a microwave and a dishwasher for convenience. Make the most of local produce found on your days out and about, and create delicious meals to enjoy at the dining table set just for two. After supper, stretch out on the sofa and enjoy the views of rolling fields through the glazed doors, or pick out a classic film to watch on the Smart TV. When you're ready for a dreamy sleep, head through to the tranquil, king-size bedroom, which also offers those gorgeous views – perfect for waking up to. A sleek shower room completes the picture of this welcoming interior.

Step down onto your private patio, where you can relax on the outdoor furniture or take long soaks in the soothing waters of your hot tub. Enjoy the sunshine or the night sky – this area is a designated International Dark Sky Park. Another option is the site's shared, wood-fired sauna and cold plunge – beautifully located outdoors for maximum fresh-air enjoyment. Private parking for one car is provided outside the property.
