Fleet View - a cottage that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms
WE ARE DELIGHTED TO WELCOME FLEET VIEW BACK INTO OUR PORTFOLIO, with availability from summer 2025
Nestled on a charming working farm, Fleet View was once the Dairy Man's Cottage and has been beautifully extended and refurbished to offer luxurious accommodation with breathtaking panoramic views of rolling countryside and Fleet Bay, perfect for those colder nights to sit back and relax in the private hot-tub. As part of your stay, enjoy complimentary access to the on-site communal wood-fired sauna and invigorating cold plunge pool. Whether you're relaxing after a day of adventure or winding down beneath the stars, this unique spa experience offers the perfect way to connect with the stunning natural surroundings - including spectacular sunsets and some of the clearest night skies in Europe.
Just a mile from the picturesque town of Gatehouse of Fleet, guests will find a warm, welcoming community with a variety of independent shops, cosy cafes, and excellent dining options. Enjoy a round at the delightful nine-hole golf course, play a set on the local tennis courts, or try your hand at river and loch fishing - all just moments away.
Fleet View is located within the Galloway Forest Park, Britain's first designated Dark Sky Park. On a clear night, step outside and witness a sky full of stars like you've never seen before - perfect for stargazing enthusiasts of all ages.
There's no shortage of activities and attractions for both adults and children nearby. The Cocoabean Chocolate Factory offers indoor and outdoor play areas alongside hands-on chocolate-making workshops, sure to delight younger visitors. A little further afield, the Galloway Activity Centre on the shores of Loch Ken provides a wide range of exciting land and water-based adventures for all ages and abilities.
Within a short drive, you'll find sandy beaches and hidden coves perfect for swimming, windsurfing, and sailing. Sea fishing and horse riding are also available nearby, while mountain biking enthusiasts will appreciate the renowned 7Stanes trails at Kirroughtree, just 30 minutes away. Wildlife is abundant in the area, with frequent sightings of deer, red squirrels, and majestic red kites. From the cottage doorstep, you can set out on scenic walks and mountain bike rides that wind through hills, forests, and valleys, offering a true immersion in nature.
For those looking to explore further, the vibrant town of Kirkcudbright - known as Scotland's Artist's Town - is well worth a visit, with its rich artistic heritage, galleries, Dark Sky Planetarium, cookery school, and community-run swimming pool. Book lovers shouldn't miss Wigtown, Scotland's National Book Town, offering a delightful selection of bookshops and literary events throughout the year. To the east lies Castle Douglas, a lively market town filled with unique shops, excellent eateries, a theatre, cinema, swimming pool, and 18-hole golf course. Just outside the town, the National Trust for Scotland's Threave Estate features the beautifully maintained Threave House & Gardens and the atmospheric Threave Castle.
Whether you're seeking a peaceful escape, an active holiday, or a bit of both, Fleet View offers the perfect base to explore the very best of Galloway. Experience comfort, natural beauty, and warm local charm - all in one unforgettable destination.
