"Fabulous property - luxurious and well appointed, great hosts who were friendly and welcoming. The house is ideally situated in Wigtown so right by some lovely pubs, bookshops and nice areas for walking. We were a group of 6 adults and 4 young children (and a dog) and it perfectly suited our needs - plenty of space and ideal for a group get together. We can’t wait to return!"

10/10 Excellent
"Parking was in the street outside the hotel and not a problem. The room was large and spacious and the bathroom was spacious with a great overhead shower. The bar was very large and plenty of room in the restaurant. Best to book a table as it gets busy with locals. The staff were very helpful, attentive and the menu had a good selection and the food was very great. Can recommend the fish and chips or the Sea bass. The breakfast was in the restaurant and cooked to order with plenty to choose from. The Ship Inn has a beer gardens just across the road with views over the river. It’s also a short walk to the town/village and the old Mill is well worth visiting as it has a good history of the town and a nice cafe. I would also recommend driving towards the small war memorial and then taking the road sign posted to a parking area with amazing views across the area. Although the stay was a bit pricy I would have no problem staying again if in the area."
