Gatehouse of Fleet is a beautiful quiet location, and the Ship Inn was a wonderful place to stay. Our room was spacious, modern and clean - as were the public areas of the hotel. Breakfast was tasty and there is plenty of on road parking outside the hotel. Loved it.
Would have liked a bigger TV (but only because Wimbledon was on during our stay!)

It's not hard to see why the Ship Inn wins awards. This place is excellent. My wife & I were greeted warmly the second we arrived and that friendly and professional approach was mirrored in all of the staff we met. Our room was superb, clean, bright and very well appointed. The quality of finish reflects the high standards evident throughout this hotel. Our meal in the restaurant was top drawer. The service was amazing, the restaurant itself warm and inviting. Our food, from starter through main course, desert and cheese board was some of the finest we have eaten in some time. The ingredients were all fresh, beautifully cooked and extremely well presented. Our breakfast this morning was plentiful and enjoyable The Ship Inn is very well worth a visit and despite the high quality and outstanding service is very reasonably priced and represents excellent value for money. We cannot wait to return.
There was nothing we didn't like.
