Why visit us!  Galloway is a land of contrasts with sandy beaches, glorious mountains and ancient oak woodland. As close to wilderness as anywhere in Scotland and the Ship Inn is located right in the heart of Galloway, on the coast yet adjacent to the Galloway Forest Park.

Galloway is great to visit at all times of year for those looking for a slower pace of life but in particular the winter is great for bracing walks along the beach and star gazing in the first Dark Skies Park. For those seeking spring time the bluebell explosion is a must or the mild maritime climate that keeps it warm ish all year round!

In short we are the Perfect Base to Explore Galloway Forest and Coast
