Definitely stay here

This might have been one of my favorite hotel stays in a long time. The hotel was beautiful, the room was wonderful with a fantastic large bathroom. The staff were all friendly and the food was delicious. The town was small and cute to walk in. I would come back and stay again.

Great room and lovely staff. We managed to get a space in the carpark so the car was safe. We ate in the pub and the food was good, easy food. If you are a light sleeper, maybe ask for a room away from the church as the bells ring every 15 minutes. Although I am told sometimes they stop at 11pm, but you can’t guarantee.

Right in the centre of the town, within walking distance of the local cycling shop where we hired bikes to do the bike trail which is just on the doorstep. Staff were attentive, facilities were excellent, front and back outside seating area. Meals were fabulous. Will definitely return.

Superb hotel and outstanding customer service from the team. Stayed here for one night and requested an early breakfast the next morning as we were up early for a walk. The front of desk and kitchen team were very helpful with this. The room was beautiful and the evening meal we had the night of our stay was delicious. 10/10 would recommend.

The Ship Hotel Review

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The staff were friendly and accessible. The food was very tasty and we didn't have to wait very long before it was served. The room was on the third floor but, with the lift this was not a problem It was very clean and more than adequate for our needs. I would recommend The Ship Hotel.

Pub food ☹️

Hotel stay and breakfast very good , however this seems to be a pub with rooms and the pub food is not good and expensive , so this effects your stay if you eat there , by saying pub food not good I am being generous
