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.

Just a one night stay. Great menu choice and wonderful evening meal. Room a bit small but clean. Great breakfast! Staff very friendly and easy check in procedures. Handy stay for early morning ferry. Village good, though quiet, with some superb walks.

We (6 adults and 1 baby) went to The Ship Inn to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday. We all had an excellent time. Food was very, very good (mum is still raving about the butternut squash strudel) and the service friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

Staying in Gatehouse of Fleet for a week,we tried the restaurant here on our first night. The menu had a good choice of food , the staff were lovely and gave us a quiet corner table accommodating us and our three dogs. The food was lovely (chicken curry+ rice and a steak pie,mash+veg),sadly no room for dessert. However the table next to us ordered desserts + they did look fab!

The facilities and service were excellent. The staff all adhered to the mantra of “no problem” which contributed hugely to our enjoyment. The food was also excellent and reasonably priced - there was never a feeling that we were being rushed, even on our first evening when we were last to leave the dining room. All in all, a first class experience with even the weather playing ball!

This hotel is a true gem. Just returned after 2 nights with friends. Our room was spacious with a very comfortable bed and lovely bathroom, spotlessly clean with a great selection of teas, coffees and biscuits. We had dinner both nights and the food was first class, as were the breakfasts. The staff both in the evening and the morning are an asset to this hotel. We hope to return in the future and would thoroughly recommend this hotel.
