It was well equipped cosy but spacious lovely comfy bed and an ideal garden for the dogs We rarely had to use our car as there were so many wslks from the door. The gardens and beach at Galloway House were a beautiful circular walk, and the walk to Innerwell was stunning. The Hive Cafe is dog friendly and has delicious food so well worth a visit or two. Very well placed if you want to see more places along the coast.

Everything you need provided and very clean. Lovely quiet location and easy walk to beach. The garden at cottage is totally enclosed so great for dog. Owners are lovely and friendly but not obtrusive. A real gem of a cottage. Thank you.

The owners Kelly and Jonathan had kindly put the heating on for us. Our dogs enjoyed the garden as it was safe for them to run around. Garlieston is very convenient for touring the area and the locals are very friendly.
