Set in the delightful rural heart of Dumfries & Galloway, near the mouth of the Water of Fleet, this village once had an industrial heart – but now a holiday cottage in Gatehouse-of-Fleet opens the door to some of Scotland’s best leisure pursuits including golf, walking, sailing and fishing. 

The former textile mill is now the visitor’s centre, and offers a fascinating insight into the village’s economic and social past. The harbour was once used for trade, but is now mainly home to small dinghies. There are shops in the village and a variety of places to eat, which make this a relaxing place to stay. 

As a gateway to the rest of lowland Scotland, this is a great centre for wider exploration. Your Gatehouse-of-Fleet holiday cottage opens up miles of dramatic coastline, acres of forest and stunning countryside – with a whole range of activities and culture to enjoy.
