Great spacious cottage with everything you could need. Good communication from the owner before and during the stay, plus a nice welcome pack. There is a good pub and cafe, within easy walking distance of the cottage and lots of interesting places to visit in the Galloway area..

We had a great stay at The Cottage in Garlieston. The cottage is very well equipped and welcoming and is in a great location. The owner was very responsive and we really appreciated the welcome pack and phone call to check we had settled in Ok.Garlieston is a lovely village with an interesting history. We can recommend the Hive cafe and the Harbour Inn. The location is a great base for exploring places such as Wigtown, Whithorn, the Mull of Galloway, Kirkcudbright and the beaches and scenery of Dumfries and Galloway.
