Relax and enjoy

A little piece of heaven. Lovely camp site with excellent facilities. Martin and Anne are delighted to help _ we needed a little, as new to caravaning, but we could not have picked a better site to start our adventures. There are beautiful walks along the coast, that would suit most abilities, and a lovely old fashioned pub in the village.

Solo trip

I have just spent 5 days at Garlieston, this was my first solo trip without my husband who died in April although l have towed the caravan before l haven’t done it on own never mind setting up, but Ann and Martin have made this trip so easy for me they were both there, Martin was on hand to help me set up and to sort out any problems l may have had and Ann was there with support and checking l was ok. This has to be over and above their duties as wardens but l so appreciate what they have done we always liked there and l hope to continue visiting the site..

Stunning location

Stunning location and very peaceful. Site is kept immaculate. Wardens work hard. Facilities desperately need updating-only one washing machine and dryer, and shower cubicles in walled garden end up sharing water from next cubicle - insanitary!

Lovely Site

We stayed here in June 2019 in our motorhome and with one dog. The area is stunning and we found lots of places to walk our dog. The drive was also beautiful but rather a long way out - however well worth it! We were unlucky with the weather as it rained pretty much non-stop so we did not get to enjoy it as much as we would in the sunshine but The Harbour Inn is a short walk away and has a great menu.

Beautiful site. Great for a back to nature family break

We have just ended a week's stay here. The setting blew us away and we will be back. Yes, its quiet and peaceful. There isn't a supermarket for a few miles (aldi and sainsbury's in Newtown Stewart, ) but it's a stunning place. The local 'The Harbour Inn' is a fabulous pub and restaurant and we were warmly welcomed. Ann and Martin who run the caravan club site couldn't do more to help. There are lovely walks on offer. We also took a drive out to nearby Wigtown (Scotland's book town) during the spring fling and it was a lovely place to visit. Broughton house in kirkcudbright was also amazing. There's lots on offer if you're willing to drive out a little but honestly the beach, stunning harbour and local walks can keep you entertained too...my 11yrold and 8 year old had a ball. An unforgettable place...

Wee bonnie.

Just returned from another lovely week at Garlieston. A week of relaxation. It's always a pleasure. The wardens Anne and Martin make the experience more enjoyable. If you need anything ,nothing is a bother to them. They go out of their way to help you. As always we'll be back.

Stunning, unspoiled surroundings on an immaculate site.

On arrival Ann gave us her extensive knowledge about the site and area and helped up to choose a really perfect pitch. This was our first visit to the site and she was so helpful and friendly, we immediately felt welcomed. Both pitching areas on the site are immaculate and the toilet/shower/washing blocks and facilities are pristine. We only spent one night at the site but it felt longer as we explored one of the wonderful unspoiled coastal paths. If you love walking along a breathtaking coastline, among wildflowers, woodlands and having the privilege of seeing wildlife and bird spotting this site is perfect. The roads are very quiet making it ideal to explore on bike as well as on foot. We loved our stay and watching the sunset on the harbour wall in the evening was a fabulous way to end the day. We will return to explore some more and would highly recommend this site for a truly peaceful, relaxing stay.

Sit back and relax

First site we visited on our tour of Scotland. What a gem, site split in two with a secluded side in a walled garden and the other open side with great views over the harbour area. Usual warm club wlecome on arrival and very well looked after by warden team. Will definately return for longer stay.

Place on our 'to return to list'.

Garlieston site is split by the road to the harbour. Both sides are lovely locations however the Reception building side is perhaps the nicest as some pitches are located directly on the sea wall. Great views at all times of the day and in all weathers. Suggest if it is going to be bad weather then the other side of the road is more protected (and further away in case of extremely high tides etc). Site facilities maintained to the usual good Club standard. External facilities are also good for a village location. The village is well kept and appears local residents/council have a pride in it. Public toilets at site entrance really very clean by today's standards. Village Hall has listed activities. The Harbour Inn is very welcoming with great meals at reasonable prices. Well worth visits. Fish and Chip van on Friday, great value. A butcher and fresh fish van also calls. The local garage (diesel only) has opened a shop within it's buildings with most essential items on sale. Support it if possible while visiting. Papers can be ordered from here. It's a nice walk to get to it. Bus service from the site entrance very useful for trips out if you are motor homers like us. Good cycle routes abound. An ideal site to place on a 'to go to' list.

Top notch site

One of the best sites we have stayed on. The staff were very friendly and offered some great ideas for walks and cycle rides. Very impressed with the shower block - very clean and hot and powerful showers. A few minute walk from the great local pub - Harbour Wall. Butcher and fish van deliver to the site. Milk, bread and papers can be ordered through reception and delivered to site. Also there is a fish and chip on Friday nights. There is so much to do in the area, walking, cycling (road and mountain biking), plenty of historic homes and quaint villages to explore. We loved it so much we have already book two more holidays here.
