Castle Douglas sits in the heart of Galloway's National Scenic Area, where sandy beaches, forest paths and working countryside make up the landscape. Gatehouse Lodges – Silver Birch is a modern timber lodge on a farm, positioned to take in views across the surrounding land. The whole property is yours alone, sleeping four across two bedrooms with two bathrooms.
Ground floor living means no stairs to navigate. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area has patio doors onto the garden; one bedroom has a kingsize bed with an ensuite bath and walk-in shower, while the second has two single beds that zip together. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, there's a utility room with a washing machine, and essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are all included. A welcome pack arrives when you check in. Outside, there's a patio with furniture and private parking for two cars. Dogs stay free – one is welcome to join you.
The location works for lazy coastal days at beaches like Mossyard and Carrick, or for exploring on foot through Galloway's glens and shoreline. Gatehouse of Fleet, a short drive away, has the Mill on the Fleet Visitor Centre, Cardoness Castle and the Laggan Outdoor Activity Centre. There's sailing, fishing, golf, horse riding and water sports within reach. No smoking inside; arrive after 16:00 and depart by 10:00.

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.
