The Ship Inn - Winner Best Hotel Experience 2024 Visit Scotland

the Ship Inn is a lovely hotel in Gatehouse of Fleet, Galloway. The town has a good range of pubs, resaurants and independent shops and the Ship Inn is centrally located and handy for everything. The hotel has been recently renovated, to a high standard. The room was a good size and very comfortable, with a great bed, and the ensuite was perfect and equipped with essential toiletries. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Meals in the restaurant were of a very high standard and plentiful. All in all, highly recommended (and book direct for the best price).

Correspondence with this hotel was excellent, prompt, excellent information, well trained on local services which was impressive. A big shout out to Sarah. Room was not so good, no fridge, no bottled water, my husband hit his head on the vault ceiling twice….. not so good. Our fellow friends had lovely room, ours was a bit rubbish. It was comfortable but very small, bathroom was great, but how long do you spend in there. The best thing about the hotel was the staff. Alina, welcomed us at reception and at breakfast, consummate professional and had such poise and friendliness. So the award for ‘experience’ is well deserved, but come on no fridge,no water, get with the programme . A very nice place that forgets the room detail.

Good hotel just a few issues let it down first night wife didn’t sleep well due to broken bed was fixed. Management did not get involved and no apology Had to leave a day early but still had to pay full amount

Hotel was lovely & staff were all very helpful. We found lots of nice places to wal kwhile on our stay & would definitely return.

The food was very good, however a gentleman sat next table to us and ordered the same meals, squid starter, we thought they must have ordered the squid as a main course, the portion size was so different. Main course was fish curry, again the portion size was totally different. On leaving I asked the waitress, who was excellent, who the gentleman was and why he was treated differently, she informed he was the head chef. If the staff are going to behave that way they should not sit with paying customers.

We found the hotel exactly as had been advertised. The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. The breakfast and evening meals were perfect for uscabdvthere was a excellent choice. Our room was also excellent with a fan available due ti the extreme heat at night. No A/C which is exactly what we liked. The townnabdcarea around were perfect for exploring
