This was a lovely 3 night stay. The hotel is small, staff are very friendly, and the restaurant is good. The room was very well appointed and looked recently refurbished. It was our first stay in Galloway and the town is well placed for driving to beaches and forest. The town is also very pleasant to explore. I'm sure we will be back.

Wonderful stay at the Ship Inn. Great location and cannot fault the service. Our room was very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent cooked to order and a range of options on the menu - but you can’t go past the full Scottish breakfast. The Dinner menu was varied and again really good quality food. Great service from the staff who were attentive but not over bearing. All in all a great break away and with good weather we were also able to enjoy the riverside beer garden. We will definitely be back.

A spacious room with a sitting area. Double aspect windows gave plenty of light to the room. Friendly and welcoming staff both for the Ship Inn and for the food service - No 1 Fleet Street. Would heartily recommend this establishment.

I stayed for 1 night and I ended up wishing I could stay an extra night or 2! The room was so nice, the bathroom was spacious, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. The hotel is old but the interior can fool you into thinking it's not! The food at the hotel restaurant was SO GOOD. There is ample parking, whether it be on the street or down the road in the lot. Stay here if you want an enjoyable, relaxing stay!

Room was very clean and modern, the bed was really comfy and was closely rivalled by the breakfast which was delicious! Would love to stay again.

Both main courses we had unfortunately tasted “salty” / over rich , which “drowned” out the ingredient flavors. It was a shame
