Buckle House is set in the heart of the small thriving town of Gatehouse of Fleet, in this delightful and peaceful corner of Dumfries and Galloway. Buckle House gets its name from its past as it was once a shoe shop! This terraced house is warm and inviting from the moment you step through the door. From the cosy living room with comfortable sofas at the front of the house, to the snug where you can relax, heading into the lovely kitchen dining room with views over the garden. The bedrooms on the first floor are tranquil ensuring a good night sleep. The garden is just heaven for your four-legged friend, totally enclosed yet with direct access through a gate at the bottom onto Garries Park where you will find the paths that take you into Cally Woods as well as a bike shed to safely store your bikes.
There are many attractions in and around the town including the Mill on the Fleet Visitor Centre and Cardoness Castle. For a more laid back day there are delightful beaches within only a few minutes’ drive, including Mossyard and Carrick. The area has numerous walks available, from scenic coastal walks to forest trails. With sailing, swimming, horse riding, fishing, golf, boat trips and water sports close by, there is something for everyone.
Warmed by the Gulf Stream, there are many beautiful gardens to visit, including Threave Garden (National Trust). Close to the Galloway Forest Park, home to the first Dark Sky Park in Europe, and central to 5 of the 7Stanes at Kirroughtree Forest and Dalbeattie Forest, it is a popular location for cyclists and mountain bikers. Kirroughtree has some of the best technical singletrack mountain bike trails in Scotland. Only a short drive away, Kirkcudbright, known as ’the artists’ town’, attracts visitors throughout the year drawn by the harbour, the historic high street and the diverse range of annual events and visitor attractions. The popular programme of summer festivities culminates with the spectacular Tattoo, an event not to be missed. Beach 5¼ miles. Shop and restaurant 100 yards, pub 300 yards.
Buckle House can be booked together with No 7 (ref UK31891) to accommodate up to 9 guests.
Free WiFi

Buckle House was great; it felt really homely and was super clean.
Buckle House was great; it felt really homely and was super clean. Nikki was fantastic, she was able to let us in 4 hours early, saving us hanging around in the rain (thank you so much). Kitchen very well equipt and everything was new - even an immaculate non-stick frying pan and sharp knives. Enclosed garden was perfect for the dog (it is fully enclosed; escape proof for our small/medium mixed breed) with a gate at the bottom of the garden opening into the park. Will definitely book again

Our first time staying at Buckle House.
Our first time staying at Buckle House. Warm welcome from owner's mother who showed us round the house and pointed out key facilities. Located right in centre of Gatehouse of Fleet and short walking distance from shops, coffee shops and hotels. Off street car park within 150 yards if space is not available in front of house. Excellent walking areas for the dog in the woods behind the house (though paths were very wet and rather muddy due to the recent weather!!). Disappointing beaches for dog walking. Dogs not allowed on Sandgreen but Carrick Beach slightly better - check the times of high tides before you go though. For eating out the best place to go was the Masonic Arms - great atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent place to go whether you just want a drink or a meal. Found the heat sensors very sensitive in the mornings when cooking breakfast!!

We had a great stay in Buckle House - in the heart of the village, everything was in easy reach and the host was extremely welcoming and helpful. The house was large and comfortable; we really appreciated the thoughtful touches of leaving us milk and homemade pancakes! Highly recommended.
