“We would definitely stay here again for the view alone”
+Cosy pub right on the harbour- had a lovely room with an amazing view. We had a dog friendly room and they gave us a little welcome bag for our dog- including a some beer for us… The staff were so friendly and helpful - breakfast was delicious- and we had a fun evening in the pub - great beer and we got chatting to other customers- great place to stay
−The decor in the bedroom needs a bit of attention

“A memorable stay!!!!”
+A memorable stay in the Inn. The Pub is full of character & we were lucky to have a harbour view from our room. While the room was not overly large it had all the facilities and a very good bathroom. Meals in the pub were very good and the staff great. A terrific experience!

“Disappointing Anniversary Visit”
+The view, pub atmosphere, room was comfortable
−No genuine hospitality was shown, restaurant was out of action for 2 days so no cooked breakfast evening meal the bar was even closed. No warning in advance so we could book alternatives. The pub seemed closed and we had to work out how to get back in / we could have been locked out. As a result we left a day early I know that was short notice but no good will offer was made for all of the inconvenience

+The room was great with a fabulous view on two sides.
−It became very windy overnight whilst there so it was noisy because there was no double glazing and overlooking the water, which of course not the Ship Inn's fault.

“Kind staff, beautiful view, room needs renovation”
+The staff was always very friendly, especially the lady doing the breakfast service, that you just felt welcomed. The breakfast is amazing in its variety and taste. Also the the breakfast room has such a beautiful view and atmosphere, that you can for sure start your day perfectly at The Ship Inn. The view from the room window was nice too.
−Unfortunately my rooms codition didn't match the pricepoint. There was a significant amount of mold in the bathroom around the edges of the shower, at the ceiling and on the doorframe of the bathroom door (most of it was just painted over). Also the metal in the bathroom seemed rusty. In the right corner above the bed, the ceiling was already damaged slightly. The rest of the room was okay, but definitely not worth 130£.
