"We had a wonderful 2 weeks."
Property was everything we wished for. Locals very friendly, and suggested places to take our dog. The whole area is very dog friendly. Loved everything and everywhere, except Stranraer.

"A wonderful house!"
I was there for the Raiders Bike Races and the house is perfectly located on the High Street. It had every amenity you might want, including an air fryer!! Lots of space right in the middle of Gatehouse. Our Host popped round to make sure everything was ok, and everyone in the town are so friendly! The pubs serve amazing food if you don't want to cook. It's a great base for exploring the area!

"We found the accommodation very comfortable and well equipped, the photos don’t do it justice."
The bed has been upgraded since then, The location is excellent for access to Gatehouse, Cafes, Pubs and the Park, and central to many places other of interest, lack of a garden was not an issue. Our host was very helpful. There is nothing we would complain about and we had a lovely holiday. Not too much rain, more days of sunshine than anything else. All good.

"Wonderful place to stay had everything we needed Allan and Sandra"
-
"Very cosy apartment just off the main street in a lovely little village."
There is a spar opposite and places to eat within 5 mins. walk. Right across the road there are nice woodland walks, that go on for miles. A lovely relaxing holiday.
-
"Lovely location and a great owner."
For two people this is great. Being in the middle of Gatehouse there were a lot of options for eating out or just having a coffee. It also gives you access to a beautiful part of Scotland.

"We found the old Brewery store to be very comfortable, cosy and warm."
It was the perfect home from home we shall definitely book again.

"Great place to stay in the area."
Clean and tidy and comfortable. Pub up the road, shop over the road. Bustling little place but not too busy. Easy parking on the road or in the car park. Plenty of local woodland walks and easy to get to the major sights. I didn't get to see all on my list so, at some stage, I think I'll be back.

"What a hidden little gem."
Gatehouse of fleet is so lovely and this cottage is perfect location for exploring around the area. It was very clean and cosy. It was well equipped and very sweetly milk, wine and biscuits provided! We did not take our dog but it is perfect for a pooch as very close to the woods for walks. Would definitely recommend. Perfect holiday cottage.
-
"A lovely accommodation and a lovely welcome with a bottle of wine and milk and biscuits."
It’s nice to have someone there to ask any questions rather than just a key safe.The property is immaculate has everything you need and in a perfect location.
-
"We had a brilliant time at The Old Brewery Store, the photos don't do it justice the place is much bigger than we expected, it was really clean and the beds are very comfy."
We had a really warm Scottish welcome from the owner, who was really helpful. The location is excellent, with access to walks into the woods and to the beach. The village is peaceful and quiet, the locals are extremely friendly and welcoming. Great for dog walkers too. The only reason why I didn't give it five stars is due to the working business next door, as the business needed early access to their property.
-
"This is a very comfortable cottage."
The owners provided a friendly and helpful welcome with a pint of milk, a bottle of wine and some biscuits included. The kitchen is well provided with salt, pepper, oil, etc. There were plenty of towels and tea towels. Parking on the street was easy and there is a small supermarket just across the road. It was a great place to stay and we can heartily recommend it.
-
"Excellent"
-
"Such a friendly welcome!"
The property was even nicer than the photos. We had a lovely time and would recommend it. The town had all the facilities needed and the area has fabulous scenery as well as a few other towns short drives away.
-
"This property is centrally placed very comfortable it added to the relaxing feel of our holiday."
It was very warm and the owner was very helpful and the property had all the facilities and was very clean. I would use this property again as it was perfect for what we required for a holiday.
-
"The property is clean, cosy, well equipt and centrally located for cafés, restaurants, and there is also a Spar just across the road which was even open a few hours on New Years day."
There are also some nice walks around the village for exercising the dog. Joan was very helpful and friendly and we look forward to returning later this year!
-

"We enjoyed a lovely week at the Old Brewery Store."
The accommodation was fantastic, with everything you would need. We were met personally on arrival by the owner, and this added a real personal touch, as we were made to feel very welcome. There are excellent amenities with cafes, pubs, shops all in walking distance. And Fleet is an excellent base to explore the local area.
-
"A lovely cottage in a wonderful setting."
Gatehouse is a great place to stay for a week . Plenty of walks lots of interesting places to visit and good dining , shopping and coffee stops. 100% recommend.
-
"This is lovely accommodation in the heart of Gatehouse and so a very easy walk to the shops."
The accommodation was really clean and comfortable and the owner very welcoming, and a much appreciated welcome pack too. There is a small garage workshop in the courtyard which did tend to open up at 7 am so no need for an alarm clock as it is quite close to the bedroom window. All in all I would recommend, definitely had a lovely week there.

"A fantastic location for a week's break exploring Dumfries and Galloway."
Very comfortable accommodation in which, everything worked. Good WiFi, smartTV, cooker, fridge, freezer, microwave, and well equipped kitchen. Right I'm the centre of Gatehiuse of Fleet, minutes walk from supermarket, shops, cafes, Mill, pubs and restaurants. Once inside, very quiet and comfortable location No allocated parking spot or garden, but even over a busy Easter weekend, we never had a problem parking on the street and there is a free car park opposite. There are parks and woodlands literally on the doorstep, so we did not miss a garden at all. Fantastic longer walks from from front door, so you needn't use the car at all if you don't want to go further afield. Very warm welcome and easy communication with the owner. Definitely recommended.

"Great accommodation, everything was perfect"
-
"The property was very well equipped and very comfortable."
The owners were very kind and helpful and any problems we had were dealt with very promptly and efficiently and they made it clear that we could contact them anytime if there were any further issues. We very much appreciated the welcome bottle of wine and biscuits on our arrival. Very well equipped cottage and everything has been thought about for a comfortable and relaxing stay.. No complaints but only one bit of advice would be to have easy instructions on view for working the television, heating and cooker..
-
"We were met by the owner who was helpful & showed us round."
The accommodation was comfortable and warm. We were surprised that we were not allowed to pull up outside the cottage to unload. This had to be done from the nearby road. We never had any problems parking nearby and there is also a car park close by but this is not really suitable for loading/unloading as it is across the road through the town. This is not something the owner can change as the yard belongs to someone else.
-
"Lovely, spotlessly cottage and location."
Breakfast opposite in the Galloway Lodge is a must.
-
"Fabulous place in a stunning and little visited area of Scotland."
-
"We got a lovely welcome from the owner of the cottage, she could not have been more helpful."
She provided us with basic provisions together with a bottle of wine and biscuits. The property was clean and comfortable and was the most well equipped cottage that we have stayed in. Gatehouse of Fleet is a charming and friendly village and a good base to visit the many things to do and see in the surrounding area.
-

"Our host greeted us on the Main Street to show us our exact location and explained all about the property and the additional steps taken for our security in the current pandemic situation."
The flat is ideally situated in the heart of Gatehouse of Fleet, equidistant from the two pubs and restaurants and adjacent to a coffee shop and local supermarket. Very warm and comfortable, great facilities and very well supplied with hand gels and cleaning materials. A welcome gift of wine, milk and delicious shortbreads to go with the tea and coffee she had kindly supplied was most appreciated. It was ideal for us, a retired couple.
-
"Very nice accommodation that is ideally situated within the town."
To be fair it is a great place to base yourself for exploring the beautiful countryside nearby. The cafe across the road does the best bacon rolls ever. Best of all about the Brewery location is that some of the most lovely walks are a stones throw away really enjoyed the walks we had with the dogs.
-
"Lovely cottage."
Nice touches with wine and shortbread. Bed huge and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen although would have liked dishwasher. Only down side was builder waking us up at 7am every morning getting van out of yard then emptying rubbish outside bedroom window. Would still return though.
-

"The Old Brewery cottage exceeded our expectations."
The cottage had everything we needed and we were provided with fresh milk, shortbread and wine on arrival. This place is spotlessly clean and the furnishings are so comfortable particularly the queen size bed. The owner is so friendly and available at all times if needed. We will certainly return to this little peaceful haven in the charming Gatehouse of Fleet.
-
"Holiday home lovely, clean and well equipt."
It's just neighbouring tradesmen wake you up every weekday morning at 740am, opening adjacent big gates on rollers, very noisy and isn't great for a relaxing holiday.
-
"There is a garage next to the cottage which opens at 8."
As the bedroom was on the ground floor it was a bit of a rude awakening. The cottage itself was lovely and clean and the owner had even left a bottle of wine and shortbread for our arrival which was a lovely touch.
-
"This is an excellent holiday cottage which is really well equipped."
It works really well for a couple or small family. It has excellent storage and has been really well thought out. The sofa bed in the lounge is very comfortable and easy to use. The owner had left lots of nice touches like wine, shortbread and fresh flowers. The owner is nearby and provides a lovely welcome and has lots of useful local information. The house is very central. Directly across the road is a lovely café and shop behind which is the local spar. Although no garden there is green space at the river, woodland walks and the local park are only a couple of minutes walk away. If you are here with kids then the Cream of Galloway outdoor play centre, Laggan Outdoor Centre and a range of pretty beaches are all within a short drive. We had a brilliant week and would definitely book again.
-
"Cottage 10."
Location 10. Locals 10. When we arrived there was a bottle of wine and a packet of shortbread a thoughtful touch will definitely be back.
-
"The accommodation was clean and comfortable and had everything you would need."
The owners were on hand if needed and so welcoming. Gatehouse is a great place, dog friendly with lots of walks from the door. We only used the car once all week. Will definitely be visiting again.
-
"My husband and I have just had a great week in Gatehouse."
The Old Brewery Store is a fabulous appartment with a central location, large rooms, great shower and every facility you could ever need. They have thought of everything. Definately be back next year.

-
"Great cottage with lots of walks for dog owners, natives very friendly and chatty, owners make you very welcome."
-
"There is no outside seating area at the old Brewery store, but plenty of outdoor seating at the 3 nearby pubs!"
-
"The cottage was just we wanted close to shops, walks and places to eat."
The owner was there to greet us when we arrived to show us round the property and explain things - it was also very nice and thoughtful to find milk and a bottle of wine waiting for us. The accommodation is small but excellently fitted out with everything we needed. We had to park on the main road but never had any problem parking just around the corner. Would certainly use the property again if going to Dumfries and Galloway as it is very well situated for exploring there.

About the location
GATEHOUSE OF FLEET
Kirkcudbright 8 miles; Newton Stewart 15 miles; Castle Douglas 15 miles.
Peaceful in its pastel colours, the small country town of Gatehouse of Fleet lies on the Solway Firth, in the midst of Dumfries & Galloway countryside, with good sandy beaches a five-minute drive away. The town was founded in the 1760s as a mill community, and today the nearby Mill on the Fleet - a visitor centre in a former bobbin mill - tells the tale of Gatehouse’s cotton-spinning days. Today, there are several shops in the town including a small supermarket, chemist, bank and Post Office, along with two book/gift shops, a kilt-making centre and two cafes. All four pubs in the town have restaurant facilities and welcome children. Castle Douglas, a 15-minute drive away, offers an extensive range of shops, Threave Gardens and boating on Carlingwark Loch.
