Most unusual site

This was our second site in a three week trip. I have to say the road to reach the site was dreadful - like a cart track. But the welcome from the wardens was warm and friendly and we were recommended a pitch with extra grass for our dog and a good view over the harbour. We had a lovely stay. The weather was varied (but it is Scotland) but we did plenty of walking and visiting. There are two bays to visit and a certain amount of walking from the site. Take most of what you need with you. The local garage is the shop. It is very limited with what it offers. And the nearest supermarket is a bit of a drive .Wigtown is your nearest. They are no cash machines closer than Wigtown either - be warned. And very few places close to the site to eat. We went to the local inn - but were turned away as they were full. They were also full of loud and fairly drunken people too. I say no more. We found the local area very deprived indeed - quite shocking in many ways. We visited the arboretum next door to the site and, with everyone else, wondered at the faded decay of Garlieston House. It was when we were leaving that we had a disaster - caravan was clearly in difficulties and eventually it was clear we would have to be relayed home. The warden was brilliant. He made helpful suggestions, found a pitch for us to limp onto that the flatbed would be able to access the next morning and even told us that we could leave the van in their care to be collected if we needed too. Our lady warden (so sorry to have forgotten your name) was also lovely. She rang our following two sites, cancelled for us and made sure we didn't get a warning letter for late cancellation. Mayday were rubbish, the caravan took five days to be repatriated, we are still waiting for the part to be made so no caravan all summer. But the wardens were great and we had a good stay. And maybe we'll be back next year.
