The 2 ballards burger was the best I've had in months. Great service and lovely food with a really nice beer garden as well. Can't recommend enough.

We spent 3 nights in the Ship Inn and had a meal each evening in the restaurant No 1 Fleet Street. The hotel is spotlessly clean and we had an extremely well appointed, spacious room of the same high standard to be found everywhere in the hotel. The staff are a credit to themselves and the owners, all welcoming, friendly and very efficient. Breakfast was excellent with plenty on offer. Full Scottish breakfast cooked to order and served hot. The evening meals were superb too and the restaurant was full each night, a testimony to the quality of the food. We have been in a lot of hotels in the UK over many years and The Ship Inn is every bit as good as the best of them. All in all, a wonderful experience from start to finish and we would return in a heartbeat.

Everything was excellent - location, staff, dinner, breakfast, room - I'm an Englishman with nothing to complain about! I'm only sad that we couldn't stay a second night.

the Ship Inn is a lovely hotel in Gatehouse of Fleet, Galloway. The town has a good range of pubs, resaurants and independent shops and the Ship Inn is centrally located and handy for everything. The hotel has been recently renovated, to a high standard. The room was a good size and very comfortable, with a great bed, and the ensuite was perfect and equipped with essential toiletries. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Meals in the restaurant were of a very high standard and plentiful. All in all, highly recommended (and book direct for the best price).

Correspondence with this hotel was excellent, prompt, excellent information, well trained on local services which was impressive. A big shout out to Sarah. Room was not so good, no fridge, no bottled water, my husband hit his head on the vault ceiling twice….. not so good. Our fellow friends had lovely room, ours was a bit rubbish. It was comfortable but very small, bathroom was great, but how long do you spend in there. The best thing about the hotel was the staff. Alina, welcomed us at reception and at breakfast, consummate professional and had such poise and friendliness. So the award for ‘experience’ is well deserved, but come on no fridge,no water, get with the programme . A very nice place that forgets the room detail.
