  • "This beautiful home is an absolute gem, not just an ordinary soulless place to rest your head on a break away but literally home from home."

    All of the added extras and furnishings etc. just made it feel so much more personable and comfortable. Thanks for an excellent stay and we will definitely return.

    Thank you so much for your feedback, we're glad you had a great time. Look forward to seeing you again, kind regards Phil and Allan. Property Owner

  • "We all enjoyed our stay in this beautiful property."

    It was extremely well furnished and very well equipped. I can't think of anything that Phil and Alan had not considered. There was a lovely 'Welcome Pack'. Wine, tea, coffee. biscuits and Milk in the fridge. Our dog was well catered for too. We had brought our own dog beds etc., but there were extra blankets and dog bowls in a cupboard. Much appreciated. Would highly recommend.

    Thank you so much for your feedback, we're glad you had a great time. We look forward to seeing you again. Kind regards, Phil & Allan Property Owner

  • "Great location in a small village."

    overlooking a small harbour. Pub and cafe in the village. Immaculately presented townhouse with all facilities. New property so water, heating, beds etc all first rate. Some nice furnishings and fitting including nice photographs on the wall. A good base for exploring the local area or just walks and sitting out from the house.

    Thank you so much for your kind feedback, it means a lot to us that you enjoyed your stay in our new seaside home. Kind regards, Phil & Allan Property Owner

  • "We had a great time , the house is beautiful, and has everything you need to make your stay memorable."

    A fantastic spot overlooking the harbour, a few steps from the beach with a lovely courtyard on the back which also has a view. Seriously couldn’t fault it, I’m sure we will be back ! Don’t be put off by few reviews as this is a new business.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave this great review. We're glad you liked our house, and look forward to welcoming you back. Phil & Allan. Property Owner

With off-road parking and accepting two well-behaved pets, this well-appointed retreat is perfect for families or friends seeking a serene seaside escape.

Upon entering the property, be greeted by a spacious kitchen, perfect for preparing and enjoying home-cooked delicacies together.

Savour your meal at the dining table, or if the weather permits, head outdoors to your own private courtyard and dine alfresco amidst the occasional birdsong.

Afterwards, ascend the stairs to discover an inviting sitting room, complete with a Smart TV and an electric flame-effect fire, creating a warm and welcoming space to relax after a day of exploration.

This room also boasts a balcony with seating for two, offering a tranquil spot to enjoy a morning coffee or your favourite evening tipple.

A selection of books are available for those quieter moments.

The sleeping accommodation is spread across two floors, comprising two king-size bedrooms, one of which benefits from a TV for those lazy mornings in bed, and a tastefully-presented double bedroom.

Meander through the woodland of Galloway House Gardens, where plant lovers will revel in their exploratory stroll through acres of landscaped beauty, to access the beach for a day of basking in the sun.

History enthusiasts will relish a visit to the ancient village of Whithorn, boasting the Iron Age Roundhouse, The Whithorn Trust and Museum, offering a guaranteed picture-postcard moment everywhere you turn.

Immerse yourself in the mystique and tranquillity of St Ninian's Cave, steeped in legend and religion as it reflects centuries of devotion; the peace within is palpable.

Further afar is Galloway Forest Park, where you can hike through ancient woodlands, marvel at cascading waterfalls, and stargaze under some of the darkest skies in Europe.

About the location

GARLIESTON

Wigtown 8 miles; Newton Stewart 14 miles.

Garlieston is a small coastal village that nestles on the Machars Peninsula, looking out over Wigtown Bay. It was popular as a fishing and cargo harbour until the 20th century, partly due to the extension of the Wigtownshire Railway. Worth noting is the part played by Garlieston in the development and testing of the Mulberry harbours that were deployed during the D-Day Landings. Today, the harbour provides berthing for leisure and fishing craft and offers a shop and Post Office as well as a traditional inn serving wholesome meals. The gardens of nearby Galloway House date from 1740 and offer a superb network of walks through magical woodland that lead towards the sweeping shoreline. Just north of Garlieston is Wigtown, once a thriving port, and now Scotland’s National Book Town. Apart from the attractive scenery and the varied coastline, the Machars Peninsular offers pretty towns such as Port William, still a working harbour, and Monreith, which was the home of writer Gavin Maxwell and offers a delightful, sandy beach.
