This is a beautiful cottage in lovely Garlieston on the wonderful Dumfries and Galloway peninsula. The Cottage has been renovated in a way that has retained it's stunning original features. It has everything you could possibly need, was spotlessly clean and had really comfortable beds. The coastal and forest walks are amazing and The Hive breakfast/lunch eatery and The Harbour Inn provide excellent food and cosy comfort. We had a really lovely holiday here exploring the environs and local history. Thank you to all involved in making this possible, especially the lady who cares for The Cottage and the Owners.

We spent a very enjoyable week at The Cottage which is spacious, immaculate, comfortable, extremely well equipped and in a peaveful convenient location. There is a sun room overlooking the safe enclosed garden. A few minutes walk takes you to the beach and the Harbour Inn which is well known for excellent food. We would not hesitate to highly recommend The Cottage for a holiday in this lovely and interesting part of Scotland.
