once again just returned home from Garlieston club site.the weather was fantastic . Before leaving we found out that Ann and Martin could be leaving this site. There are a lot of people come to the site and one of the reasons they keep coming back is down to the wardens. They are the friendliest,most helpful and the lovliest couple you could hope to find.Nothing is a problem. Why do they have to move. The show of flower arrangements when you enter are a sight to behold and it is all down to Anne and Martin.Why do things have to change when they are going so well. If it,s not broken do,nt fix it. They are a credit to the club.This is one of the reasons we have just finished our third visit this year. Visiting other sites this is not always the case.I know speaking to some of the locals they have nothing but good to say about them. Mywife and I will be very disappointed if they leave and know for a fact we are not alone.Garlieston site is a lovely site but I think it will lose something if they leave.

Exceptional Club site

A good club site is a combination of a number of factors but the quality of the Wardens has to be among the key components. Good Wardens make a good site. Garlieston is blessed in having outstanding wardens who go the extra mile to ensure that their visitors have the best possible stay. Anne and Martin are among the very best of club wardens. They offer a warm welcome, ensure that the pitch you select is just right for your needs, provide advice and guidance as to what the area has to offer, and with their constant care and attention they make sure that 'their' site is not only clean and tidy but through the flower gardens they have created the site is exceptionally attractive. Garlieston club site is in a wonderful location but our stay there was 'made' to a large degree by the welcome of Anne and Martin. Many thanks to you both for a most enjoyable visit. We hope to see you again.

Fabulous site and location

Just returned from our second stay at this wonderful site. The site itself is kept absolutely immaculately by the wardens. The views from the harbour pitches are glorious and what we like most of all is how quiet, relaxed and friendly the site is. The Harbour inn pub is lovely and the locals very friendly. There’s a pub garden and the pub itself is very dog friendly. There’s a cracking walk to Rigg Bay and also a little forest 5 minutes drive on the way out of Garlieston. We didn’t venture further afield this time but there’s plenty of walking and cycling to be had in the area. Ann and Martin are amazing wardens and a credit to The Caravan Club. They are helpful, friendly, hard working and keep the site in tip top shape. We were sad to hear this may be their last year as the Caravan Club like to move wardens around. We really hope the Caravan Club don’t change this winning formula which is Ann and Martin at this fabulous site.

Beautiful site

We have just returned from a week at Garlieston, this was a trial run because my husband had to have his lower leg amputated two months ago and as he did everything it was all now left to me it was very new and daunting, but when l explained this to the wardens Mr & Mrs Kinney they couldn’t have been more helpful and encouraging, nothing was to much trouble to them, they checked every day that things were ok, we would just like to say that without their help and support l don’t think we would have survived the week, they were brilliant over and above the duties l imagine required of a warden, as result my membership of 16 years will continue for many years to come, plus future visits to Garlieston.

Great wee site

Just returned today from a sunny warm weekend in this great wee site in a lovely wee village. The wardens keep this site beautiful and clean and are extremely helpful. The surrounding area is lovely and there are lovely walks and the area is good for cycling. The Harbour Hotel which is just a few minutes walk away is welcoming and does good food. Definately be back. 😁

great views

We were lucky to get a pitch with a great view and even luckier to get 3 sunny day's . Very impressed with the site and the wardens were very friendly and approachable. Have to recommend the fish and chip van that visits on a friday evening , best we've had in years. This was our first venture into Scotland and we enjoyed every minute , there is a lovely walk out from the site through Rigg Bay and around to the remains of an old castle the scent from the wild garlic en route was amazing. Drove around the bay to Logan botanical gardens which were stunning .

Brilliant site 5/5

Just finished a lovely four day break here and can't say enough good things about the site and wardens. The site is split into two sections, one within the walled section and the other overlooking the sea. We did a few beautiful walks directly from the site to near the gorgeous Rigg Bay, taking a detour through Galloway Gardens. Both wardens were helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable about the local area and amenities. Facilities on site were clean and well presented - only thing that'd be good addition would be adding a dog shower for muddy paws! Thank you for a great visit, this is one of the best sites we've stayed on.

Peace and quiet

We shook, rocked and rolled on the poor roads from Carlisle and in local area/South Ayrshire. We opined that the wardens gave priority to an hour later arriving motorhome as it was pitched on the Dock side which had not been offered to us. We didn't find the wardens friendly - the locals are - but they wardens do a great job looking after the immaculate site, including the Information Room. They sell gas spanners - something I've been intending buying for years and never got round to it. Garlieston is a quiet village although the Harbour Inn is lively enough; good food, ale and service included. We went to Stranraer for shopping [good supermarkets] rather than Newton Stewart. On a sunny day, the coast road around to Stranraer and up towards Girvan takes some beating. Local walks are excellent with a wide variety of birds to see [the site side is best for waders, the far side is better for woodland birds with some waders]. For peace and quiet, this must be one of the best CMC sites.
