Galloway House Hotel
Galloway House Hotel occupies a handsome Georgian country house near the small harbour village of Garlieston, set in extensive grounds that include a magnificent walled garden. It sits in a quiet corner of Wigtownshire that many visitors to Galloway overlook entirely – which makes it all the more rewarding for those who seek it out.
The Setting
The hotel grounds include mature woodland walks, formal gardens, and open parkland, all accessible to guests with dogs. Beyond the grounds, the Solway coast stretches east and west with quiet beaches, tidal flats, and coastal paths that are outstanding for dog walking. Wigtown Bay is a nationally important wildlife area, particularly for wading birds and wildfowl.
Dog Policy
Dogs are welcome in the hotel’s ground-floor garden rooms at a charge of £15 per dog per night, with a maximum of two dogs. Dog bowls and towels are provided in pet-friendly rooms. Dogs are welcome throughout the grounds but not in the restaurant.
Wigtown and the Book Town
Wigtown, Scotland’s National Book Town, is just a short drive away and is a genuinely dog-friendly small town with independent bookshops, cafes, and the excellent Bladnoch Distillery nearby. The Martyrs’ Stake and Wigtown Bay nature reserve are easy walking distance from the town centre.
