We were very comfortable at Olafs Cottage on the whole. It is a very peaceful and attractive location. We liked the 'traditional' style but felt the cooker is in serious need of replacement. We ate mainly at home because of covid so used the cooker every day. The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable and cosy and the whole place was very clean. The one bathroom plus separate shower on the ground floor was sufficient for our party of 3 adults but less so for groups of 6 perhaps.

This is a good value, basic cottage attached to a farm & is situated in a beautiful area . It has all the equipment you need for a comfortable but not luxurious holiday.
If you are expecting a cottage in a lively seaside town you will be disappointed but if you are happy being situated about 1.5 miles from the only pub (excellent) & the same from the only shop then you will be okay.
Garlieston bay is very attractive with a good beach & there are some very pleasant walks in the area.
We had a lovely holiday made even better by the great weather.

My wife, two kids, two dogs and I made our way back to Olaf’s Cottage, twelve years since our one and only previous visit.
Everything was more or less the same, quaint furniture in keeping with the lovely little cottage and everything feeling “as it should”.
If you’re going to struggle without WiFi or a big screen tv or an en suite then maybe Olaf’s isn’t for you but if that’s not a big deal to you then you should be absolutely fine.
Our holiday was blessed with seven solid days of August sunshine which allowed us to use the house as a base from which to play.
We used our remote camera trap in the small wood to the back of the cottage to capture video images of deer and a fox, we barbecued our evening meal on “our” beach at least three times, played cricket in the evenings on the beach of Garlieston Bay and had some fun in the surf round at Rigg Bay, a lovely sun drenched safe beach to explore and swim on.
We actually did venture out in the car one time and went up to the Galloway Forest park and saw some red deer and visited the lake by the visitor centre.
All told, not one of us had a complaint, the (geriatric) dogs enjoyed the space of the garden and access to role woods and beach, the kids enjoyed the freedom to run, play and climb and the grown ups just enjoyed the sunshine, beer and bbq’s.
There was a minor scare on arrival where we thought we’d been cancelled without our knowledge but fortunately Brenda was very helpful and reassuring.
The weather played a huge part in making our week amazing but even without it, the cottage, it’s surroundings and the feeling of remoteness meant we had a good, “old fashioned” holiday, like what I had when I was a kid and happily our twelve and ten year old daughter and son, completely bought in to the experience.
