WELCOME TO GALLOWAY HOLIDAYS IN SCOTLAND

Activity breaks, touring holidays and leisure breaks in Dumfries & Galloway. Enjoy a flavour of Scotland with one of our holiday experiences.


Looking for a short break or longer holiday that’s full of your favourite passion?  Whether you enjoy cycling, walking, mountain biking, exploring your family history, water-sports, golfing, adventure sports or food & drink, Galloway Holidays provides a range of activity holiday options in south west Scotland. 

We strive to make your holiday planning as stress-free and as enjoyable as your vacation itself.  We’re local folk who’ve been arranging holidays in the area for many years, and we’re passionate about sharing our love of Scotland with those who visit.  We have all the expertise and specialist knowledge needed to make your short break or holiday truly special.

We believe a Galloway Holiday has everything people look for in a Scottish break.  Within a 2 hour drive of most of the North of England, Northern Ireland and Central Scotland, it’s very easy to get to and still offers that magical-faraway feel that rural Scotland is loved for. 

When you choose Galloway Holidays we’ll recommend accommodation that we know offers exceptional hospitality – from quality B&Bs to luxury hotels.  And with so many places of interest, things to see and activities to do across the region we’ll put together ideas and itineraries that will keep you interested, fascinated and enthralled throughout your stay.
