The Ship Inn

10/10 Excellent

"When we arrived at the hotel it didn't look anything special from the outside. On entering into the small reception we received a very warm welcome and given some local information. We were directed to our room which was very spacious, clean and a nice outlook . The bed was very comfortable although I found the room warm but my husband slept right through the night, which is unusual for him. We opted to have dinner in the hotel and although a bit pricy we were very happy with what we ordered. A very pleasant stay and I would definitely return"

"Fabulous property - luxurious and well appointed, great hosts who were friendly and welcoming. The house is ideally situated in Wigtown so right by some lovely pubs, bookshops and nice areas for walking. We were a group of 6 adults and 4 young children (and a dog) and it perfectly suited our needs - plenty of space and ideal for a group get together. We can’t wait to return!"

10/10 Excellent

"House itself is in need if a little TLC Didn't stop us from having a brilliant time here.The "hot tub" has to heated with logs, which are provided, left to heat for about 1 hour before going in. Water is brown, dirty looking, from tap but drinking water is provided. Loved the holiday. Host was very helpful and friendly. Dogs were very friendly as we're the horses and sheep. One thing we did miss were mats in the shower as one of the ladies slipped and fell in shower, gave herself a really sore bottom and back. Overall we Loved it. "
