This was our first visit to the Ship Inn, what a find this is a thriving business set in an amazing location. The staff all ages are attentive, polite & on their game. The highlight is the food- whoever they have working in the kitchens are a talented bunch.

Great location. Lovely staff and delicious food. We were a little disappointed with the location of the room (avoid the downstairs room if you can) which was right next to the road downstairs where we almost brushed shoulders with passer-by’s - it was not possible to leave the window open at night to get some fresh air.

Amazing location and restaurant! Room not as good.
The location is amazing. Absolutely beautiful. The bar, restaurant, and outside bar are all awesome! Great service, great food, real effort put into being Gluten Free, and ridiculously good breakfast. The staff are wonderful! The room needed improvement. The bathroom fan didn't work, so any time you shower, the entire bathroom had a ton of moisture everywhere. The rainfall shower head is weak and the separate hand held head isn't tied to the same lines, so was really hard to control, and not super useful. The tub had black stuff (guessing black mold) coming out of the stopper when my wife took a shower, and the stopper didn't work well, so she had to run the water the entire bath to maintain a 1/3 water level at best. Bed was lumpy and uncomfortable, and the blinds didn't work, and opening the windows was a struggle and painful. Would love to come back here but not to this room. Dog friendly, though, which is GREAT. Hope they correct these issues, as would really like to return because of the location, food, and service.
