We booked for a two night mid week break and felt this was a good area to base ourselves. The Ship Inn provides accommodation which meets the needs of couples, families, and people with pets. A friendly environment with good service throughout. The room itself was clean and the bed so comfortable with refreshments such as tea, coffee, biscuits all prepared and topped up if needed. The bathroom had an overhead shower. Everything in good working order. Breakfast was available until 09:00 which suited us and the service was efficient and welcoming. The porridge and 'Scottish breakfast' was tasty and well presented. Furthermore it was freshly cooked. We really enjoyed our stay and do plan to return- very good value for money and access to beautiful surroundings. ##### Caren Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [Lochinvar Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-Lochinvar-Hotel.h43651710.Hotel-Information) - [The Kings Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-The-Kings-Arms-Hotel.h48242608.Hotel-Information) - [The Cross Keys Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-The-Cross-Keys-Hotel.h4254118.Hotel-Information) - [The Murray Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-The-Murray-Arms-Hotel.h22682976.Hotel-Information) - [The Haven B&B](https://www.expedia.com/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-The-Haven-BB.h17859825.Hotel-Information) - [Imperial Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-Imperial-Hotel.h17906975.Hotel-Information) - [Crown Hotel and Bar](https://www.expedia.com/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-Crown-Hotel-And-Bar.h35609325.Hotel-Information) - [Douglas Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-Douglas-Arms-Hotel-By-Payman-Club.h60187118.Hotel-Information) - [Ernespie House Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-Ernespie-House-Hotel.h29315123.Hotel-Information) - [Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course](https://www.expedia.com/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-Cally-Palace-Hotel-Golf-Course.h3918856.Hotel-Information) - [Airds Farm Guest House](https://www.expedia.com/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-Airds-Farm-Guest-House.h18451435.Hotel-Information) - [Orchardton Castle](https://www.expedia.com/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-Orchardton-Castle.h38860966.Hotel-Information) - [The Kenbridge Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-The-Kenbridge-Hotel.h8320417.Hotel-Information) - [The Art Bank](https://www.expedia.com/Dalbeattie-Hotels-The-Art-Bank.h91639673.Hotel-Information) - [Treetops Luxury Log Cabin - Hot tub, BBQ & Sauna](https://www.expedia.com/Dalbeattie-Hotels-Treetops-Luxury-Log-Cabin-Hot-Tub.h90400161.Hotel-Information) - [The Garret](https://www.expedia.com/Kirkcudbright-Hotels-The-Garret.h900942.Hotel-Information) - [Fludha Guest House](https://www.expedia.com/Kirkcudbright-Hotels-Fludha-Guest-House.h30490440.Hotel-Information) - [Star Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Kirkcudbright-Hotels-Star-Hotel.h36630328.Hotel-Information) - [Flights to Dumfries and Galloway](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Dumfries-And-Galloway.d6051146.Flight-Destinations) - [Dumfries and Galloway Vacations](https://www.expedia.com/Dumfries-And-Galloway.d6051146.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Dumfries and Galloway](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Dumfries-And-Galloway.d6051146.Car-Rental-Destinations) - [Dumfries and Galloway Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Dumfries-And-Galloway.d6051146.Vacation-Rental-Destinations) - [Things to do in Dumfries and Galloway](https://www.expedia.com/Things-To-Do-In-Dumfries-And-Galloway.d6051146.Travel-Guide-Activities)
