Lovely, clean and spacious room. One of the best showers I've used in a long time. The food in the restaurant was simply amazing, both breakfast and dinner. Beautifully presented and every mouthful savoured. Next time we're in this part of the world we will definitely stay here again.

Lovely place to stay - it’s the 4th time we’ve stayed here when visiting the area and it’s always a pleasant experience. Good sized family room with my two sons, and overall a very clean and nice pub hotel with friendly staff.

Our Stay.
We booked for a two night mid week break and felt this was a good area to base ourselves. The Ship Inn provides accommodation which meets the needs of couples, families, and people with pets. A friendly environment with good service throughout. The room itself was clean and the bed so comfortable with refreshments such as tea, coffee, biscuits all prepared and topped up if needed. The bathroom had an overhead shower. Everything in good working order. Breakfast was available until 09:00 which suited us and the service was efficient and welcoming. The porridge and 'Scottish breakfast' was tasty and well presented. Furthermore it was freshly cooked. We really enjoyed our stay and do plan to return- very good value for money and access to beautiful surroundings.
