What a find

We had a most enjoyable three ( May) day break at this delightful hidden gem of a site. Beautifully located on a harbour side with smaller pitches but awesome views or a lovely secluded walled section just over the road for larger units. Both have super clean toilet blocks. Wardens hard working helpful and friendly. Slightly off the beaten track but easy to find. Harbour Inn pub a great local with good food, interesting clientele and a well run gastro restaurant. Lots of easy walks nearby and further afield plus great B roads and tracks for fun cycling. Even though one days rain we had a lot of fun and will definitely be back- a credit to the Caravan club so more of the same elsewhere please.

We loved this site!

We spent 5 nights here in late April, first night in the walled garden section as the other area was full then we moved over and enjoyed a prime spot overlooking the bay. Busy yet quiet and peaceful. Immaculate and wardens were super and so cheerful. Lovely HOT showers! Many good walks from the site and lots of interesting places within easy drive. Good,easy walk out to the remains of Cruggleton Castle from the site. We enjoyed Wigtown, Whithorn and Port William which has a lovely new cafe at the harbour. The Harbour Inn at Garlieston is lovely, good food and cosy atmosphere with open fire. Best to book. This is a super site in a great location and we highly recommend it.

Lovely four day stay with the Cheltenham Owners Club

A dozen Cheltenhams from 53 years old to a youthful 35 years descended on the site over the May Day week end.The site was the usual immaculate standard that we all value so much within the Caravan Club. Special mention must be made of the wardens,who smile all the time and for whom nothing is too much trouble.Being sited in the walled garden facilitated awning use in spite of the slightly patchy weather.The Harbour Inn is a joy to visit with lovely staff and good value pub grub.The Whithorn Story visitor centre is well worth a visit as is the Galloway Smokehouse which is sited round the bay in Carsluith.The local garage only sells diesel but there is fuel available about seven miles away in Bladnoch.The history of the design,testing and production of the Mulberry Harbour sections used in the Normandy landings is closely associated with Garlieston. A lovely stay WE WILL BE BACK.

A gem of a site

From the moment you enter the site you know this is something special - very friendly wardens Ann and Martin, lovely if slightly cramped layout - interestingly split in two - main part overlooks harbour and other is in the walled area across the road - either are great locations. In really adverse weather does get a bit waterlogged so some improvements could be made there and the toilet blocks are showing their age (though spotless) when compared to some of the other sites. Two points to remember - go into the village to find it as a postcode in a garmin takes you to an old deserted house! and you must book The Harbour Inn in advance - awesome food, reasonable cost but very very busy - already booked another stay

Time warp!

We were met by relief wardens Colin and his wife who were charming, funny and extremely helpful. We then met the actual wardens Martin and Ann who are a major asset to the Club and epitomise how wardens should be. Both have complete ownership of their site and this is shown through immaculate facilities and beautiful landscaping. Plenty of walks for you and the dogs. Overlooked by the Galloway Hills and a picturesque harbour to look at! Please take time to drive the coastal route to the the Mull of Gallaway, outstanding, breathtaking scenery that is the best I have seen in Britain, truly. We stayed in the sheltered wall garden opposite the harbour which cut down the in shore breeze, our outfit was too big for harbour side. This is the most tranquil site and quaint area we have stayed at, mobile bank, fishmonger, butcher and manned fuel pumps.... takes me back about 40 years, but all the better for it. Very easy road access, no issues at all.

We have been coming for a number of years. Due to heavy rain this year some of the grass pitches were unusable. Wardens were there usual cheery selves.
