What a great find, a proper pub!|From the moment we walked through the door we felt most welcome. Food prices were way below anywhere else but it didn't detract from the quality. Real value for money. Both bar and restaurant staff warm and friendly. If I'm in the area again it's going to be be my go to location.

Had a Sunday lunch meal here today. Food is very good, a big selection of veg and choice of either pork or turkey as the meat. All cooked to perfection, selection of various desserts, can recomend the salted caramel meringue, provided you still have room for it. Or the fruit pie and custard or perhaps the syrup pudding as an alternate, no photos but the banana split is also good

Very friendly and accommodating staff(Matt & Sam & Karen) My partner and I had suffered an attack in our own home and thought to venture out after 4 days & ended up here! We're so glad we did!Although many drinks were had, it made us feel better and The Ship Inn is a place where you are welcome. Top all round 🌹🌞

Staff were so accommodating, letting us check in hours early with no notice, so we could get into our rooms before a wedding. Classic English Pub downstairs, and such nice rooms. Lots of nice touches like free milk in the minibar, coffee and tea. And very affordable. Would definitely stay again

I stayed at the Ship Hotel Monday to Friday from April 2020 until April 2022 for work purposes.||In that time I cannot think of one single time where anything has been an issue. …

Stayed for a night at this quirky, historical hotel. Very comfortable, large room, with fridge, tea, coffee, fresh milk and hot chocolate. Loved the extra touches - the cupboard full of books and DVDs to borrow and the USB charging ports in the plug sockets. Friendly, helpful staff.
