This place is a gem! The staff are amazing, the bedroom and bathroom beautiful, the breakfast's really set you up for the day, and the locals who visit the pub in the late afternoon share stories and tips on walks to take, and places to eat. All round the most amazing place to stay in a town that is well worth a visit. Thank you Mike, Mel and Barbara

Our stay at the Ship in Dock Inn was absolutely perfect! The room was excellent, spotlessly clean, well-equipped with all the amenities, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location couldn’t be better, right in the heart of everything. The staff were amazing, extremely friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout our visit. The bed and pillows were wonderfully comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was exceptional, freshly prepared, and delicious. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, highly recommended!

A little gem in Dartmouth

A really good place to stay in Dartmouth with a friendly owner and staff. A lovely bedroom with nice sheets, towels and the added benefit of a mini bar with fresh milk! Delicious breakfasts too. Highly recommend.

The room is in an old building in Dartmouth so expectations are that it will be on the smaller side. It was clean with excellent bathroom. Position of the property was fantastic for getting out and about. Staff that we met were friendly and accommodating. Loved every minute of our stay.

A great little pub in the centre of Dartmouth

The room was beautifully arranged and maintained. The breakfast was excellent. The staff were all very friendly and did as much as they could to make our stay a good one. Only one down side - no lift. This pub is almost on the front, very easy to get round the town. It was a super stay. Free overnight parking is possible, immediately opposite the pub.
