The Ship Inn

We arrived at The Ship Inn at around 4pm on Sunday afternoon, where upon we found no ‘reception desk’ just an unmanned terminal where there were no staff. Eventually a member of the restaurant staff quizzically asked us is she could help. We were given directions to room 8 and left to our own devices. We were asked if we had booked directly or via booking .com…this seemed to make a difference as our booking.com room was at the back of the Inn and also breakfast was not included, this was not made clear at the time of booking. The room itself was small with no furniture, the shower height only usually for people under 5’8’’ tall. No bedside cabinet, each side literally having a shelf the size of a hardback book. At the point of booking we made the Inn aware that one member was GF, no GF biscuits were made available. The bed was comfy but very small, I am 6’ 4’’ tall. After visiting sick relatives we got back to the Inn, around 10.30pm to find it in darkness, having apparently closed at 10pm. With no arrivals brief this came as a shock and surprise, we also had to try several doors before we could gain entry. An info book in the room would be a start. We paid £117 for this experience and are not happy.

Food very poor Staff were quite rude Apart from Mia.. x

Food Service

The sea view

Cramped room - smelt musty - supposedly deluxe Noisy refrigeration unit going 24/7 outside window No proper reception or check in/out No information in room

Second time we have visited and the location is excellent. The staff are always really friendly and I love the detail that goes in to each room. It is completely dog friendly (rather than ‘pets allowed’) with bowls of water located in different areas and dogs are allowed in the dining area which makes a big difference when you are a solo traveller

We had a nice large room, clean and comfortable. We had lunch in the restaurant (crab sandwiches) which were nice. Breakfast was very nice, full English freshly made

We had dinner in the restaurant. We both had fish and chips, I had cod, my partner had plaice. Although the chips were nice, we were both disappointed with the fish. The batter was tough and overwhelmed the fish, which seemed overcooked

Amazing view out to sea

Wouldn’t rate the food very highly.

Modern and renovated hotel with beautiful rooms. Great bar and beautiful scenery, right on the sea.

The sea views friendly staff, beautiful garden to enjoy the scenery. Clean bedroom

I booked in the restaurant for 7pm, when I got there they didn’t have my reservation so had to eat in bar, which I didn’t like, I wasn’t offered another time just told it’s the bar or that’s it, that did put me off.
