Galloway's finest

The club site at garlieston is a really pleasant site with nice walks and cycle areas close by. Facilities are very well looked after and the wardens are welcoming and helpful. The views over the bay are lovely when the tide is in,when the tide is out the bay is a good place for dog walking There are some nice shingle beach areas (only suitable when the tide is in)past the harbour entrance on the way to the coastal path to the Galloway house gardens. The gardens have a beautiful display of rhododendrons of many colours in April so well worth a visit. I think it's a great site for a short family visit as occupying kids for more than a couple of days could be difficult, but if you are looking for a quiet site with some walking or beachcombing, the this would suit perfectly

Lovely as Always

Lost count how many times we have stayed at this site , no matter what the weather it is always a favourite with us, made so by the lovely wardens Martin and Ann who always have a smile and time for you, even though they work tirelessly to keep the site immaculate. It will be a sorry day when they are no longer allowed to stay as they seem to just fit right in to the site. Ann works very hard at her flower displays spring and summer and it is a real credit to her. Martin is always at hand to help anyone who needs it and keeps the site manicured. We will be back again very soon. Maybe start a petition to keep them there permanently. Sorry this review is a little delayed but the new website shut me out for awhile as I have reviewed this site in the past. Pleased to see that little gremlin has been sorted CC

Once again a lovely eight days at our favourite site.The spring flower display when you enter the site is just a pleasure.Anne and Martin the wardens are a pleasure to know. Nothing is too much bother. They are a great asset to the club.Always a pleasure, until the next time. I have already written this review but unfortunately put it on New England Bay instead of Garlieston. very sorry; My mistake.

If you want a restful vacation go to Garlieton, Site staff are very helpful as expected, Facilities are well kept clean and tidy, Some of the grass sites were not accessible due to previous rainfall and boggy ground, the club should consider upgrading more sites to hard standing. Easy walking along the shoreline, and history of the Second World War Mulberry Harbour tests. There is a store in Garlieston but if closed general shopping can be found in nearby Whithorn (approx 5 miles)

Should have stayed longer

Booked and stayed for 8 nights. Very peaceful with good walks direct from the site. a short walk to The Harbour Inn with its cosy fire and warm welcome. Martin and Ann keep the site spotless and are always on hand to give advise and suggestions. The village shop closed while we were there but the local garage is picking up on basics, papers, bread, milk, etc. With hindsight we should have stayed on for a few extra nights as we had nothing in particular to get back to:-)

Good View and location

This is a nice small site where the wardens were extremely helpful and patient in sorting out my internet problems. We stayed three nights at this well kept site and will come back again. If the harbour side of the site is full we would have no hesitation in staying in the walled area across the road. There are plenty of interesting walks from the site along the shoreline and through the gardens of Galloway House. Although the house is privately owned the grounds are accessible to the public and the Rhododendrons and Daffodils looked lovely. If you love birds and wild flowers this is good site to go. We are not really pub people but visited the Harbour Inn twice in the three nights that we stayed. The first night was to sample the whisky after a walk on the beach and the next night was for a meal. The food was very good and the whole atmosphere was inviting. The staff were very friendly making it a pub that we would go back to. Overall we had a good three nights stay and will go back to explore further.

First caravanning trip a great success.

Booked into this lovely site as we are new to caravanning and it was only a couple of hours or so drive away from home. Firstly the location is beautiful with fabulous views across the bay and the site is snugly tucked in a corner of the village. The wardens were extremely helpful and always ready to assist with advice and tips. The site was pristine and the facilities are kept to a very high standard. Costal walks are on the doorstep (literally) and there is an abundance of bird life to be found on the shoreline, marshes and woodlands nearby. We even spotted a deer a few meters away when exploring the gardens at Garlieston House which are well worth a visit. The weather was superb which always helps get a holiday off to a good start but I am sure that we could not have selected a better site for our first trip. As I have said the wardens were very helpful as were all the other caravaners whom we spoke with during our trip. Come visit this site, you won't be dissapointed. Thanks to everyone for making our trip special.

Intimate harbour side retreat

This was our second time at Garlieston and we enjoyed it even more. Our pitch was on the harbour side and, as it was the last week of the season, pleasantly nearly empty. Very well kept by the wardens Martin and Ann, Garlieston is a credit to them and the club. The weather was perfect but cold and with a brisk northerly breeze, so walking from the site let us explore the fantastic shore 6 miles in each direction. Not ideal for families due to its intimate pitches and the proximity to deep water it is none the less, charming.

Last trip of the season

In October 14th - 22nd we once again visited the site and were once again really pleased with the site and the wardens. The backup wardens were working when we arrived and were very friendly and helpful especially when I managed to damage my caravan (my fault). Ann and Martin arrived back from leave and as usual were their friendly and helpful selves. We will continue to visit this site as its one of the best we have been on.
