Craigmount

Craigmount

10/10 Excellent
"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."

"Second stay at the Ship Inn, room is perfect, breakfast excellent. Food is terrific although the restaurant was almost full (apparently it usually is…) 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."
