Gatehouse of Fleet has a thriving little community and has several excellent places to eat as well as pubs and convenience stores. There are also many attractions in and around the town including the Mill on the Fleet Visitor Centre, Cardoness Castle - the view from the top is quite spectacular, and of course delightful sandy beaches at Cardoness and Mossyard. From the town you can enjoy many local walks from forest and woodland walks to scenic coastal walks. With sailing, swimming, riding, fishing, golf, boat trips and water sports close by, there is something for everyone.
The area is warmed by the Gulf Stream and many beautiful gardens flourish here, including Threave Gardens (National Trust). Close to the Galloway Forest Park, the first Dark Sky Park in Europe, and being central to five of the 7Stanes, at Kirroughtree and Dalbeattie, it is a popular location for cyclists and mountain bikers. Kirroughtree has some of the best technical single track mountain bike trails in Scotland.
Only a short drive away is Kirkcudbright, known as ‘the artists’ town’, which attracts visitors throughout the year who are drawn by the harbour, the historic high street and the diverse range of annual events and visitor attractions. The popular programme of summer festivities culminates with a spectacular tattoo - an event not to be missed!
There are open, steep, spiral or narrow stairs at the property.

Sinclair’s is a comfortable cottage which easily accommodated three adults. The garden was a favourite feature. The cottage is located on the high street, so everything that Gatehouse of Fleet offered in terms of cafes, shops, and nearby walking paths was easily nearby. The one caveat we have is the stairs are carpeted and rather steep, especially up to the attic twin beds, making them rather hazardous and inaccessible to anyone with mobility issues. In fairness, the owners have pointed out the stairs as being tricky. Otherwise, we recommend Sinclair’s and Gatehouse of Fleet as an ideal holiday retreat.
