Our stay at the Ship Inn was lovely - the rooms are perfect, the bed super comfy and ear plugs are provided for any noise from the pub downstairs (which we did not find a problem at all). Breakfast is continental but very lovely and we had a really nice stay. Also ate at the pub and would definitely recommend - all staff lovely and food really really good (and nice cocktails too at a good price!)

Lovely stay in The Petticrow room at the Ship. Great location opposite the clock tower. Room very nicely presented with winged armchairs facing out from the bay window. The Ship has a great restaurant where we enjoyed moules frites and beer battered fish, plus bar snacks on other nights. The breakfast was a buffet type continental, with yoghurt, fruit, grapefruit, toast, croissants and orange juice and cereals at tables laid in the restaurant. The Ship is in good upkeep and has a selection of good beers and cocktails. The staff are friendly and welcoming and we’ll return to stay again.
