Cottage with stunning views over Kirkcudbright Bay, a short walk from the beach.

10/10 Excellent
"This is a beautiful cottage, in a stunning location. The cottage is so comfortable and well equipped and beautifully decorated. Especially loved the window seats along one side of the house to take in the amazing view.Just a short 5 minute walk down to Dhoon Bay and a 10 minute drive to Kirkcudbright. We were lucky enough to be staying over the August Bank Holiday weekend so we could attend the amazing floodlit Tattoo and Fireworks event. And it's a very pretty town with a lot of interesting history.The gorgeous coastal villages of Kippford and Rockcliffe are a bit further away by car but well worth the visit, and there are lots of other walks in the area too.Thanks very much Moira, for a wonderful stay. We highly recommend."

"What a great little place! The staff were super friendly, rooms were clean and as advertised, food was good and as a solo female traveller I felt very safe. I stayed here for a few days while attending a wedding a nearby GG Yards, and even booked to stay on for an extra night. Gatehouse of Fleet & The Ship Inn had a really nice chilled vibe, plenty of things to do locally, and a lovely spot for exploring this part of Scotland."
