The Harbour Inn

When we stayed in Garlieston we visited this pub for a meal, the food was amazing the service was very good and friendly staff, i highly recommend this place to people visiting the area, its a hidden gem

What a disappointment, the service was unfriendly, and the food was poor, the fish tasted like it had been sitting around for a few days and was soggy. There was no friendliness from the staff, I realize that there's a big flow through of folk there, but a how was your day? Or would you like anymore drinks? Would have been nice. They did manage to ask if the food was OK,

We had a 3 day break and ate twice over the Easter period. Food was good with something for even the pickiest of eaters and atmosphere made it even better. It was a little busy and we had to wait a while which was expected as we was told it’s the best place to eat in Garliston and as it was only a short walk away back to our camper we thought we would try it and glad we did. Visiting again in July for 5 nights and looking forward to enjoying some more evenings here.

Lovely big room with a massive bed that was very comfortable and blackout blinds make for a great nights sleep. A super sized bathroom with a great shower. The room has amazing views over the bay and considering the room was over the bar restaurant it was very quiet. Our dog was made very welcome in all areas of the inn with everyone making a fuss of her. The food was great with a good selection of fresh fish and very reasonably priced. The breakfast was lovely I can’t recommend this Inn highly enough already planning when we can return. It’s a wee gem!

What a lovely find! We were visiting the area and popped in for a quick drink. The customer base was a mix of locals and visitors and we and our dogs were made very welcome - so much so that we booked for an evening meal. Lovely meal, hearty portions, great service and reasonably priced what more could you want?

Decided to have New Years Day away from home for the first time ever. My partner and I chose The Harbour Inn with no great expectations- other than the venue being located in a tremendous situation. When I first booked, I stated that we would only accept a double room (as opposed to a twin). As there are only three rooms available this seemed a necessary point. Soon got a very helpful response back advising that this would be the case. We were also helpfully Informed that in the evening, there would be a karaoke event taking place and that, if we wished to proceed, we would be allocated a room as far away as possible. The thoughtful intent was very much appreciated. We had to meander our way through the busy bar to be able to check in, and then to be shown to our room by the pleasant young lady behind the bar. The room was basic. It was also very clean. But what we were overwhelmed by, was the stunning view from our window. That alone was worth the accommodation fee. The cosy bar, later in the evening, soon gave way to a lively affair of dining and of dance, and soon we were chatting and drinking with both local and visiting clientele. Harry, the friendly hotel owner, also took time to join us and made both my partner and I to feel that we had been visiting this bar for many years. That could well happen from now on! Among the many plus points were the lovely full Scottish breakfast and, more importantly, the helpful, friendly and welcoming staff
