The Ship Inn

The Ship Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Second stay at the Ship Inn, room is perfect, breakfast excellent. Food is terrific although the restaurant was almost full (apparently it usually isโ€ฆ) and this perhaps reflected in the service last night. Example, we were finished our starters and had to chase our drinks. But granted restaurant was very busy. Would certainly use again if opportunity arises."

Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed here mainly because of the price. For the couple of days I was staying here it was reasonably affordable. But also for nostalgic reasons. As someone who grew up in Gatehouse, we used to use the Cally for the swimming pool and would walk around the Cally grounds and gardens. It was nice to see that it still has the same feel it to it and even though there are updates, it still has preserved that old stately home feel with the furniture. The bedroom was hugely spacious. The bed was bigger than expected and very comfortable. Definitely what I needed each night after a day of exploring the area. There are two separate en suites in the room I was in a shower, toilet and sink in one and bath and sink in the other. With the latter there is a clothes line which did come in handy. The staff on reception were lovely and incredibly accommodating. Happy to provide information around the area but also the hotel. I did have an issue with something in my room and it was fixed straight away. The room was clean. With an excellent view of the lake around the golf course. The wardrobe also provides dressing gowns which was a lovely addition."
