Welcome to Beachcomber! Our family has owned a property in Garlieston for over ten years and recently we have bought two more properties to let as holiday rentals. David, our brother, and his partner Julia own the Railway Inn in Whithorn (6 miles form Beachcomber) and Michelle, our sister, owns Harbourside just a few doors from Beachcomber. We pride ourselves in the quality of our rentals and the knowledge we have the ability to make you feel at home in Garlieston and its surrounds during your stay. We can advise on scenic locations, towns, villages and attractions to visit (as well as local pubs and eating places) and can give you a "local's experience" of the area.

For avid golfers there are many local courses, some of which are on the coast. They make for an interesting day's play!! For hikers there are woodland trails and coastland paths and for those looking for less strenuous activities you will find picturesque walks, historical sites, and secluded bays. For sporting enthusiats, there is a raft of water based sports available. This area abounds with traditional small fishing villages and farms. It truly is an undiscovered area. Be sure to visit Whithorn and its Priory. The visitor center there is a hive of information regarding the history of Christianity in Scotland, Robert the Bruce's connection to the area and the live archaological digs that are ongoing. Visit Port Patrick to see a working port and Kirkcudbright for art galleries and the famous Galloway Hoard, which is the largest Viking trove found in this area. Your host Michelle will be only too pleased to help you plan your day trips.
