Situated in a quiet rural location just two miles from the beach and two miles from Gatehouse of Fleet, The Beeches is ideal for those that want both the tranquility of a countryside retreat and the convenience of the town. The cottage comfortably sleeps six guests, in one double and two twin bedrooms. There is a cosy welcoming sitting room with wood burning stove, and also a brand new large kitchen/dining room with doors onto the garden and lovely countryside views. Recently renovated, the owners have made every effort to ensure The Beeches provides a comfortable and homely place to stay for both groups of friends and families.

There is plenty to do on the doorstep with lovely woodland walks and the beach which is only two miles away. The Galloway countryside offers a diverse landscape with hills, valleys, fields and sea all just waiting to be explored by foot, car or bicycle.

There are many sporting activities to enjoy including: walking, golf, mountain-biking and watersports.  A more leisurely visit to the nearby towns of Castle Douglas (the “Food Town”) and Kirkcudbright (the “Artists' Town”) also make an interesting and enjoyable day out. Other attractions include: lovely local gardens including Cally Gardens (walking distance); Threave; Castle Kennedy; Woodfall and the Logan Royal Botanic Garden.   Just one mile from the cottage, is the Cream O' Galloway visitor centre, with adventure playground, indoor playbarn and cycle routes, not forgetting the finest ice cream in the land!
