The hotel and restaurant were a disappointment. The ‘special offer’ of £200 per night for a two night stay priced not to be such a good deal. We had a twin room. Only one set of toiletries for two people for two nights. No bath robes. Pillows were synthetic and flat. Window paintwork was dirty and peeling. It was painted shut. The flush on the toilet was all but impossible to operate. It was a button on the wall and needed two hands to have any chance of it working. We ate in on the first night. The food was average at best. Both mornings the cooked breakfast was overcooked. The toast was brought on the first morning as we were eating yoghurt and king before any cooked food. On the second morning I asked for fried eggs and bacon. It took ages to arrive and the bacon was inedible. Hard and dry. So disappointing. Our bill came to £461.38. I run a B&B so know it was overpriced for what we got. The only positive was the two tiny granola bites in the room.

Disappointing

This was our second stay here this year, we stayed for 3 nights . The staff were excellent and the food at breakfast and in the restaurant was equally as good. Great atmosphere in the bar on Friday and Saturday nights. Will definitely return.

Great place to stay.

Sunday lunch on 29th October 2023 - very poor. Waited a considerable time to order our drinks and still longer to receive them. My husband ordered roast beef which arrived almost completely cold and had no gravy or horseradish, which he brought to the attention of the staff. He was offered a fresh helping, however he received the exact same helping back, now swimming in gravy, and the whole plateful had presumably been reheated in some way. The pork belly I received was not crispy as I had expected and consisted of precisely four small mouthfuls of pork. The roast potatoes were delicious but the vegetables (kale and broccoli) were almost totally raw and also cold. A couple seated behind us made exactly the same comments and announced that when they next had something to celebrate they certainly wouldn’t be going to The Ship. On paying the, not inconsiderable, bill my husband’s polite comments were treated with disdain and no hint of an apology. We have been to The Ship many times over the years but will steer clear in the foreseeable future. 

Extremely comfortable and friendly hotel with excellent staff. The food is very good also. Lovely comfortable bed . 
Only blip was arrived back at 9 pm on the Sunday evening and the bar was closed so not able to enjoy a night cap . Otherwise everything was very good . 
We ate in the restaurant and food and service were excellent. Much better than some pretentious places nearby

Excellent and comfortable hotel with good food

Booked for Sunday lunch before leaving for our holiday. Thought it might be busy and it was. Met up with a friend and everything was very nice. The Sunday menu was a bit limited but the food and service were both good. We finished off our meal outside for coffee which was a nice touch. 

Service was excellent

What a lovely experience! We booked last minute for Saturday night and what a treat it was!  Our room was spacious and very well equipped, even for our two Labradors who were spoilt rotten. Scrupulously clean and comfy dog beds, their own towels, water bowl and treats were waiting for them. The humans were well looked after too! Without exception, the staff were a delight, lovely atmosphere amongst them on a busy Saturday night, obviously a great team!  Dinner was lovely and service efficient. Breakfast was delicious! (oh and the dogs loved the sausages!).  Lovely walks from the door down to the beach to work up an appetite... what more could we ask for!

Lovely cheeky little getaway!

Went here xmas eve with friends to have a nice meal and relaxing time before the big  day. Unfortunately we where all very disappointed in our starters and main meals, Tandoori prawn well over cooked and rubbery. Haddock and chips well fish was very dry and the so called mushy peas where extremely dry and un edible. when we pointed this out to the staff , there response was we will tell chef and walked off. As it was nearly £200 for the meal we expected better. Please use other establishments if you want a nice meal will not be going there again.

Very poor food

Seven of us visited the Ship Hotel on Boxing Day. We were hugely impressed by the quality of the food and the service. The seabass was beautifully cooked and very full of flavour. In fact, you could say that it was to die for!

Superb Food and Service

Great to be back at the Ship.  Friendly staff and great evening meal . Room was lovely; clean , super warm and well equipped with coffee/tea and bottled water .  Great choice at breakfast both buffet and cooked to order .
