On our way up to Loch Lomond but thought we come and see Dumfries and Galloway; the Ship Inn was our first 2 nights accommodation, and it was excellent. The room - on the top floor - was abit of a struggle with suitcases, but once we were up there it was worth it. The room was huge, with windows... More

Main hotel for a group weekend, we found nicely refurbished rooms and very welcoming staff. One minor negative note was a rather too hard bed but probably new. And I was a touch cold but an extra blanket was provided. We ate evening meals in the sister hotel (The Murray Arms) but breakfast at the Ship. The poached eggs carried... More

Would really recommend if visiting the local area . We are fairly local ( Stranraer) and this was a strange choice for us . We were able... More

Did not have a starter but good choice. Had a main course & desert. We chose the Thai Curry & Braised... More

We had what I can only describe as a average meal here, nothing special, nothing out of the ordinary, although the Haggis, Tatties and Neeps starter were fine, the fish combo was poor with pieces of breaded fish (catering pack) into the deep fat fryer, with chips and a side accompaniment of veg, did not really enjoy this meal to...

While staying in Gatehouse we enjoyed 2 meals at the Ship Inn, the food, service and ambience was excellent. A good choice of food and an altogether pleasant experience both times we ate there. We hope to visit Gatehouse again and will most definitely eat at the Ship.
