Wonderful site in a beautiful location

Having quite recently joined the Caravan Club this was our first experience of a CC site and what an introduction! The location of the site in the peaceful little village of Garlieston right on the edge of Wigtown Bay is stunning. The site itself is impressive with spacious pitches, neatly manicured lawns and well looked after flowers and shrubs. The facilities are excellent, good showers and toilets and private cubicles for washing - all spotlessly clean. The site wardens are a lovely couple who manage the site really well and are both friendly and helpful, providing lots of local information and knowledge. There are two separate areas to the site; we were in the part overlooking the bay which was perfect for my bird watching husband. As the tide went out all the wading birds gathered at the water’s edge and around the rock pools - curlews, oystercatchers, redshanks, golden plover, good old seagulls and a few bossy swans. There is also the walled garden which looked good and is apparently a sun Trap! We ate in the Harbour Inn. It’s a cosy, lively pub with a good sized restaurant and the food was good. Wigtownshire is a lovely and often overlooked county with lots to do and see. The Wigtown Book Festival was on while we were there. There are interesting little towns and villages - Isle of Whithorn, Whithorn with its archaeological digs and St Ninian’s cave, Port Patrick, Logan Gardens and other gardens, day trips to Belfast and the Titanic Experience, Glentrool Forest Park - as well as great walks. Our only disappointment was that we were there for one night. We’ll definitely be back and for longer next time!
