The Ship Inn - Winner Best Hotel Experience 2024 Visit Scotland

A comfortable and clean family-run hotel and restaurant with good food. We loved sitting in the riverside garden for a drink before dinner. There are beautiful woodland walks nearby. The only slight disappointment was the sound of early morning trucks on the high street, but otherwise a peaceful place to recharge our batteries.

Excellent well maintained hotel with comfortable spacious rooms, very good food and a beer garden in great location by the river in Gatehouse-of-Fleet Staff friendly and efficient. Thoroughly recommended for a stay while exploring Dumfriess and Galloway

Lovely hotel! The staff and management could not do enough for us. The room was clean and comfortable. The only thing I could pick at would be then heating system that was quite hard to control. The Gatehouse of Fleet is a lovely village such friendly people and fantastic countryside on the doorstep. We would definitely return to this hotel and highly recommend.

Had a short break down here this week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The owners, Jonathan and Sarah moved here a few years ago as they loved the place, and we could see exactly why. It's a beautiful location and this hotel/inn is just perfect. We had a huge room (number 10), which was extremely comfortable and quiet. We ate in the restaurant each evening and couldn't fault it. The menu was varied and a gluten free diet was well catered for. The staff were so helpful and friendly - obviously well trained. The decor all looked fresh and very tasteful. Also, if the weather is good, the beer garden is the perfect place to relax - just down by the river. We are so glad we visited and we will definitely be back.

Very comfortable. Friendly helpful staff. Good base for exploring the area. Very scenic and good for wildlife. Also went to Dumfries House which is quite a way but well worth it. Although the hotel is on a corner in the middle of the village there is very little traffic noise.

We had a lovely 6 night stay. The staff were a real asset, helpful and friendly. They dealt with a dairy intolerance very capably and the evening meals were of a good quality. We enjoyed the ambiance of the log burner when it was lit. The cooked breakfast was very substantial and tasty and set us up for the day! Room was good size and very comfortable with modern bathroom with shower and welcome bath after a day's walking. Ship Inn set in a very pleasant village with a couple of other excellent places to eat as well.
