Excellent site

I so love this site and area. Warm welcome from lady warden and all explained. Lots of cycling and walking in this area. Great beaches for exploring. Pub sells great meals. Garage has plenty of selection for cooking. Large freezer so mince pork chicken. Or if you feel lazy he has lots of ready meals or pop round to rusty for his pork as he breeds pigs. Excellent established site well maintained. Down side the toilet block was frozen in the mornings and at night. Radiators cold. Plenty hot water but cold block. Stayed in van to get washed as it was warmer. This year I noticed and spoke to day visitors at garlieston who wandered around site with dogs and used the facilities. They where just out for a day trip. Public taking short cuts through the site. But will be back hopefully heating working.

1 st visit Joyce and David robertson Ayrshire

We have just returned from a 5 night visit at the park and we really enjoined it. Ann and Martin who look after the park are a lovely and helpful couple nothing was to much trouble to them with helping with imfofmation on local walks places to eat. The park is in a lovely condition as Martin was always about doing things around the park. We were in the the walled garden area and it was so quiet and peaceful. We will definitely return Ann and Martin work so hard to keep the lovely place .

Farewell to 'Vans'

Alas, our caravan adventures have to cease, as Mo has problems with arthritis, and can no longer get comfy in the van. We chose to spend our last trip at Garlieston, which I think is the cream of the crop, for peace and quiet. Our visits have always been enhanced by the kindness and good humour of Anne and Martin, with a good measure of N.I. craic! Always neat and tidy, with the best tended flower beds anywhere. Suffice to say there was a tear in the eye on leaving.Thanks to the Club and all those who made being a member a pleasure. To Anne and Martin, Lang may your Lum reek! Best wishes, Bob and Mo Assur.

A well-run gem

This was our first visit to Garlieston and we are planning to return for another week next year. The site and the location are both great, in the village, next to the beach and harbour, along the great coastline, and in a corner of quiet Galloway. Anne and Martin were on duty for most of our stay and were very welcoming and helpful. The standards they maintain for the site are second to none. The visit of Prince Charles and Camilla to Garlieston took place during our stay, and it was great to see that they presented the Caravan Club at its best on that proud occasion.

Great Site

We come up to this site every year and are always welcomed by the Wardens who are a very helpful and friendly couple. Lovely walks straight from site also good for sea kayaking or sea fishing. Also plenty of quiet lanes round about for cycling. Pub just along sea front that does reasonable food, just a few miles away The Pheasant at Sorbie also does lovely food. A drive or cycle along the coast is rather lovely starting from the Isle of Whithorn.

Another very enjoyable stay

The wardens at Garlieston, Ann and Martin, obviously take great pride in their work and the site. As always the site and facilities were immaculate and the gardens and flowers around the entrance and reception were beautiful. We received a very friendly welcome and goodbye. Ann and Martin will go out of their way to help visitors to the site. This is definitely our "happy place" and we hope to return very soon.

Lovely Relaxing Site

A lovely relaxing site, I could sit for hours watching the tide come in and out. A pitch by the wall is a must if you can get one. Site is immaculate, showers hot, and other facilities clean and tidy. Wardens friendly and helpful. Lots of lovely walks from the site. Very doggie friendly. I bought the little map in the office which was very useful and saved taking a map with us. A real get away from it all site.

Wonderful Garlieston Club Site

Our second visit to the lovely Garlieston club site and so glad to see that Anne and Martin are still the wardens - they are a credit to the Club and must be some of the best wardens we have come across. They went out of their way to help us get the most appropriate site for our stay as my husband is disabled and uses a mobility buggy. They also supply little cards with the local walks in the area and details of the visiting food vans and garage. The site was as spotless as the last time we were there and we will certainly be returning. The position is stunning, overlooking the bay and watching the high tide come galloping up the beach is amazing. In relation to the lack of a shop in the village, the garage is now quite well stocked with food and also has frozen food as well as every day essentials. It is easily in walking distance for a relatively fit person. The Fish & Chip van on a Friday is excellent, as were the scallops and special fish cakes from the travelling fish van on the Tuesday. I missed the local travelling butcher - also on a Tuesday - but understand his meat is really good. Keep up the good work Anne and Martin and thanks again - we'll be back. Rod & Julie Blake
