Carin Dyke is one of four timber lodges on a working farm near Castle Douglas, designed so that every main room opens onto views across Fleet Bay. You step straight into an open-plan living space: woodburner, smart TV, kitchen with electric oven and hob, dishwasher and fridge, and dining area flowing onto a garden with patio. Everything is on the ground floor, with no internal steps. The three bedrooms comprise a kingsize with en-suite bathroom and heated towel rail, a second kingsize with shower room, and a zip-and-link room sleeping two. A second bathroom has a shower, and there is a utility room with washing machine.
Essentials like electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included, along with heating via air source heat pump. There is private parking for two cars and an electric charging point on site. A bike store is available, and travel cot and highchair can be provided. The property does not permit smoking.
Gatehouse of Fleet, roughly 1¾ miles away, sits within a National Scenic Area and has the Mill on the Fleet Visitor Centre and Cardoness Castle nearby. Sandy beaches at Mossyard and Carrick are a short drive. The area offers coastal walks, forest trails, sailing, fishing, golf and water sports, or simply a quiet stay with the bay in view.

Fabulous lodge with a drop dead view! The lodge has everything you need and more. Beds are comfortable and the lodge was very clean. Parking is good and road up though narrow is in good condition. There’s plenty of wildlife to be seen from the window and it’s a tranquil setting. Gatehouse of Fleet is walkable with a few coffee shops and restaurants, and very friendly locals. Beaches are close by , there’s plenty to keep you busy if you want, or just sit and take in the view!

We had an amazing stay in Ocean Drive at Gatehouse Luxury Lodges. The lodge was very comfortable, very clean and had everything we needed to make our stay easy. The views from the lodge were captivating and we enjoyed watching the tide come in at Fleet Bay. We visited and swam at Sandgreen, Mossyard, Carrick & Brighouse. Sometimes in the evening depending on tide times. All of them felt safe enough for our granddaughter to swim too. Gatehouse of Fleet is a lovely village. Highly recommend the Ship Inn and the Iron Brew cafe. I'm sure we will be back.

Feel so lucky to have found these properties. We've been holidaying in and around Gatehouse Of Fleet for almost 20 years but this is our first stay here. Silver Birch was perfect for us. The kitchen is well equipped. Great Wi-fi. Loved the Sonos sound system. Quality TV. Showers are great. Bed was extremely comfy. Easy walk down the hill and through Cally Woods into town from the door. Saw foxes and stoats from the huge windows. The view is absolutely stunning. Over the fields and down to the sea. Perfect location. We WILL be back. This is our new favourite. Thank you James and team/ family.

What a superb place!! From the minute you walk through the door you are blown away. Absolutely everything we needed. Comfortable bed and pillows. Spacious living area. The shower is next level fabulous too!! Views to just get lost in, dark skies at night. The wildlife is amazing - bring your binoculars for the Red Kites!! The local area is well worth exploring - people are friendly and welcoming.
