THE BOAT HOUSE, SANDGREEN.
Just a two minute walk (or one minute run if trying to warm up from a swim) from the beach.
If swimming isn't for you, then a walk out to the Murray Islands at low tide is extremely enjoyable .
We love to cycle ( the roads are quiet ) and kayak / sail here (including to some further afield islands) or just enjoy the lovely walks. One of our favourite walks from The Boat House is to walk through the Cally woods to Gatehouse of fleet and get a coffee at Galloway Lodge or lunch at the Masonic - lots of places to choose from!
The ideal Romantic retreat perfect for couples ..
We are happy to accommodate one four legged furry friend or two little ones on request. We provide dog essentials dog bowls ,bed ,towels ,throws etc
The Boat House is on an elevated site on the shores of Fleet Bay, Sandgreen, Dumfries and Galloway .
Converted from the existing boat house and only finished in March 2020 ,it is set within the grounds of High Point Beach House.
The Boat House has the benefit of a large SW facing Glass enclosed deck designed to make the most of the sea view.
It also has a a separate private patio with table and chairs. This is a fabulous area to enjoy the evening sun with a views across the Fleet estuary to the Galloway Hills beyond.

There is a lounge area with comfortable seating , a smart tv and a cream Dimplex electric cast iron effect cast iron fire (more of a focal point )as the heating is very efficient.
There is a small dining table with seating for two. An external combi-boiler provides instant hot water and there is a central thermostat and individual radiator or thermostats so you are in control .
Downstairs there is a cloakroom with a W.C., wash hand basin and washing machine .

The windows have black-out blinds .There is also a traditional window at the West end of the bedroom which makes the most of the evening sun .
