Overview
Riverwood House, a beautiful detached holiday retreat tucked away in the charming town of Gatehouse of Fleet, Dumfries and Galloway. Designed with comfort and togetherness in mind, this pet-friendly haven combines traditional character with thoughtful modern touches, making it the perfect place to escape with family and friends.
From the moment you step inside, Riverwood House feels like home. The spacious open-plan living area sets the scene for connection and relaxation - whether you’re preparing hearty meals in the fully equipped kitchen, gathering around the dining table, or curling up in the inviting sitting room. As evening falls, light the woodburning stove, pour a glass of wine, and sink into the cosy warmth while your favourite film plays on the Smart TV. It’s the kind of place where simple moments turn into treasured memories.
The house has been designed to suit groups of all ages. On the ground floor, a serene super-king-size bedroom with its own sleek en-suite provides a restful retreat, while a cloakroom with washing and drying facilities adds extra convenience. Upstairs, two further super-king bedrooms offer peaceful spaces to recharge after a day of adventure, complemented by a contemporary family bathroom with both bath and shower - perfect for soothing tired muscles.
Outside, a wraparound garden with gravel paths and a sunny patio invites you to slow down and savour the fresh air. Enjoy long breakfasts outdoors, share alfresco dinners under the soft glow of the evening sky, or simply sit with a book and let the tranquillity of the surroundings wash over you.
Beyond Riverwood House, Gatehouse of Fleet itself is brimming with charm. Stroll to welcoming cafés, browse independent shops, or step back in time as you explore its fascinating history, from the old cotton mill to Cardoness Castle nearby. The town is also a gateway to some of Scotland’s most breathtaking scenery.
Just a short drive away, Galloway Forest Park offers endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and wildlife spotting. Known as the UK’s first Dark Sky Park, it’s a magical place to gaze at glittering constellations far from city lights. The nearby coastline also beckons, with sandy beaches, hidden coves, and dramatic views across the Solway Firth - perfect for picnics, paddling, or simply breathing in the sea air. For golfers, there are excellent courses within easy reach, while nature lovers can discover an abundance of birdlife and woodland trails right on the doorstep.
Whether you’re planning cosy nights by the fire, days filled with outdoor adventures, or a little of both, Riverwood House offers the ideal base to enjoy the warmth of a welcoming home and the beauty of southwest Scotland.
