From the owner

An Taigh Mara is a very modern two storey property, decorated to enhance the experience of both the local area and Scotland in general. With stunning views directly over the sea from the rear and just a few metres from the harbour and views of the village and the Galloway hills to the front.

This harbour side home sits on the fringe of the picturesque fishing village of Garlieston. Sleeping 4 the property comprises of one double bedroom (with En-Suite, closet and French doors opening onto a balcony with sea views), a twin bedroom (with closet and drawer unit for additional storage) and a family bathroom. The open plan ground floor offers guests a modern spacious living area, breakfast bar with stools adjoining the well equipped kitchen and a cosy dining area. Whilst the sea and harbour may be seen from all windows it is from the breakfast bar and rear balcony those views impact most; whether having breakfast or a glass of something bubbly.

An Taigh Mara has been furnished and decorated with guests in mind. Down lighting that’s dimmable (Alexa control if desired), 4K TV (with blu-ray player and a selection on movies), Netflix/Prime video are also provided as well as a fridge, freezer, washing machine and electric central heating throughout.

Table, chairs and a bench are located outside to the rear in a stone chipped yard overlooking the sea and an additional balcony table and chairs are available. Parking is to the front with a dedicated space in an ample parking area and views of the village and Galloway hills across the harbour.

Garlieston offers visitors excellent dining in the Harbour Inn and has a filling station with shop for those emergency essentials. Sandy shores and forest walks are to the rear of An Taigh Mara as well a shingle beach a stones throw away. The village is a haven for those seeking the peace and tranquillity of a quiet retreat with both sea and hills on the doorstep. The village bowling green sits on the waterfront and the village hall exhibits the Garlieston Secret War exhibition.

An Taigh Mara will be your own personal retreat from the world and whether you stay local or use this as a base to explore the beautiful Scottish coastline, the hills and forests of Galloway, the historic towns or sites is up to you.

Owner's reply:
Delighted to hear you enjoyed the Alexa experience. There are now devices in most rooms and in addition to music there are audio-books, with a Scottish theme of course, such as the Narnia books by C S Lewis and Treasure Island by Robert Loius Stevenson. I wonder what the list might include? The Bramwell Brown Clock perhaps? In any event please feel free to ask anything you might be curious about as always happy to help. Thank you for staying at An Taigh Mara and hope to see you again.

Hi Pauline, Thank you for the kind review and its lovely that you mentioned the Scottish wine.
