Best site to relax in

Now in my 80th year, I look forward to my twice yearly visit to Garlieston. The site is on what can only be described as a unique place. My first trip of the year is down to Garlieston, what we call our shakedown cruise, and my visit on the 23rd. to 28th. April this year went as expected, very relaxing, Anne and Martin the perfect Hosts, and the floral display as good as ever. The area is full of places to go and see, the new Gallery in Kirkcudbright is excellent, and the cafe is worth a visit alone. Any keen gardeners should take a trip to Threave, outside Castle Douglas, which is the gardener training site of the N.T.S. For dog walkers there is no better site, with a coastal walk starting at the site. Anne and Martin run a tight ship, and I have never had any cause to complain, the toilets are immaculate, and the site is always neat and tidy. The Harbour hotel Pub has some of the best food I've ever had, at reasonable prices, within easy 4 minute walk. As the advert for Brooklands race track said; the right crowd, and no crowding! A great credit to the Club. Bob Assur, Troon.

Fantastic Site and Wardens

The Wardens Ann and Martin were very helpful and did everything to help us make the most of our stay. The site looking over the sea was beautiful and the location for walking brilliant. Easy walking distance to the pub which was friendly and reasonably priced. On the night we stayed there was a local cancer charity event at the bowls club emphasising what a great local community surrounds the site. Lots of sight seeing in the area and plenty of interesting features. I would have no problem recommending this site and applauding the great job the wardens are doing to make this a wonderful place to stay. Thank you. Linda and Joy

Thanks

This was my third visit to this site. I. Was ther from 22nd until 27 th April. Each time I have felt so welcome, it is like returning home. Everything about it is geared to make the time there the best. It can be. The foundation of all of this is the ability Anne and Martin have to establish good relationships with the users. I would list This list this site as one of the best and look forward to my next visit. Thank you Anne and Martin. M. Kelly. I I

Easter Holiday Family Break 2019.

This was our second stay at this site from 13/4/19 for 7 nights with myself my wife and two children (7yrs & 4yrs). We love the area and would venture over more often but only able to do travel on longer breaks the access to this site is great no problems at all good roads etc and always a friendly welcome on arrival with the wardens very easy to talk to and helpful. We love the location of the site which is split into two halves both sides of road through village both peaceful and quiet with great safe space for the children to ride bikes etc on the good surfaces through the very well laid out site with nobody blocked in with great views. I would recommend this site for families as it is a good base for exploring the area from the local estate which leads to a great play beach, the Galloway forest has several visitor centres particularly Kirroughtree just outside Newton Stewart a short drive away. There is lots to do in the area for families the Cream O Galloway Ctr and the Cocoa bean factory are both good days out for the kids and not silly prices if on a budget!. To say we will be back is a understatement love this site set in the middle of a fantastic picturesque area.

What a little gem

A perfect place to start our tour of Scotland, plenty of walking straight from site and seconds from the beach with fantastic views across the bay. Site is immaculately cared for through out and the powerful showers are amazing. Very warm welcome on arrival. The Harbour Inn is lovely warm welcoming pub, great for food and drink and dog friendly.

The last to leave!

Had a 5 night stay at our favourite site at Garlieston. As always the site and the facilities were kept immaculate by the hard working wardens Ann and Martin. We had a lovely meal at The Harbour Inn where the staff are always friendly. We didn't want to leave the site hence us being the last to leave on the day it closed. We received a friendly welcome (and goodbye) from Ann and Martin and are really pleased to know that they will be returning to Garlieston next year.

Great to be back for our 3rd time. Anne and Martin kept the site as immaculate as ever. Enjoyable coastal walks and local gardens right on the doorstep. Friendly and hospitable local with well kept beer and good pub grub. Weekly visit from fish van, butcher and Aldi/Sainsburys in Newton Stewart for re-supply on the way in. Suits us down to the ground.

Garlieston

This was our first visit to Garlieston and cannot wait to return next year. Excellent site - Wardens were lovely and very helpful. This is one of the best sites we have stayed on. Toilet facilities were of a very high standard and showers were the best we have experienced. I have no hesitation on recommending this site.
