Galloway Retreats

04/09/2026

We’ve added a couple of tasty extras for those evenings when you just want to relax, light the BBQ and enjoy the view.

Choose from our Breakfast Pack for an easy morning fry-up, or our BBQ Pack ready for a relaxed night by the fire.

Locally sourced, good-quality ingredients and no trip to the shops required.

Just settle in, slow down and enjoy Galloway.

Hot tub or fire pit?

You’ve checked in. The bags are down. The phone’s going away.

Are you heading straight for the hot tub…
or lighting the fire pit and getting the marshmallows out?

At Galloway Retreats, you don’t necessarily have to choose.

Which one are you picking first?

Sunday mornings, the Galloway way.

Breakfast finished. Sun shining. Highland cows for company. No rush, no noise — just fresh air, open space and nowhere you need to be.

Sometimes the best luxury is simply slowing down.

Quiet over noise. Galloway Retreats.

A crackling fire.
A gooey s’more.
Dark skies overhead.
And nowhere you need to be.

At Galloway Retreats, the fire pit isn’t just an extra — it’s part of the experience.

Toast the marshmallows, melt the chocolate, make a mess and stay outside a little longer.

Because luxury doesn’t always mean more.

Sometimes it means slowing down enough to enjoy the simple things.

We’re not trying to be another glamping site.

We’re creating something different.

Highland cows outside your door
Private hot tubs
Incredible dark skies
Peace, space & a lighter footprint

And our guests seem to agree…

There are hot tubs with a view… and then there’s this. 🐮

No traffic. No crowds. No rushing from one thing to the next.

Just warm water, big Galloway skies and a few curious Highland neighbours wandering past.

This is what we want Galloway Retreats to be about not simply somewhere you stay, but somewhere you switch off properly.

Come for the hot tub.
Stay for the feeling of having nowhere else to be. 🌿

Galloway Retreats — escape ordinary.
