The Ship Inn

The Ship Inn

10/10 Excellent
"When we arrived at the hotel it didn't look anything special from the outside. On entering into the small reception we received a very warm welcome and given some local information. We were directed to our room which was very spacious, clean and a nice outlook . The bed was very comfortable although I found the room warm but my husband slept right through the night, which is unusual for him. We opted to have dinner in the hotel and although a bit pricy we were very happy with what we ordered. A very pleasant stay and I would definitely return"

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed here on a visit to Wigtown in late August 2026. Communication was great with multiple emails confirming reservation and instructions. Although there are no staff of duty the instructions on how to get the key were timely and detailed and we had no problems at all getting in and checking out, and we arrived late. The bunkhouse is clean, smelled fresh, and the rooms were nice. We stayed in rooms 1 & 3 and it was lovely. Also very quite! The bathrooms were modern, very clean, and well equipped. There is also a large common room where we had group meals and an excellent kitchen with everything we needed including fridge. Beds and linen were clean and smelled fresh. Owners have thought of everything...they even have boot dryers! I highly recommend the Bunkhouse! If ever anywhere near Wigtown again I will definitely stay there. I would especially like to thank the very nice young lady who came to clean up. She was very pleasant and even carried a bag out to our vehicle for us. Oh, and there is a great fish & chips place just a few doors down that stays open pretty late. A great overall experience!"

"Nicole & Mal are a lovely couple and couldn’t do enough for us. Gave helpful advice on local places to eat as well as knowledge of Wigtown. The property was very homely, lovely room with book theme and comfy beds. Nice bathroom with modern shower. Living room downstairs to use was also very cosy and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing, all local produce and even went out of their way to get the Rice Krispies that we asked for because they had run out. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area to stay here."
