Both the staff and accommodation were excellent and the food could not possibly be faulted and the whole property was spotless
Excellent Inn. I stayed on my way over to Calais. I had the Single room. Very need and tidy. Recently updated room I’d say. Excellent bed and neat bathroom. I really liked the old charm of the building, nice little doors to the rooms. Very nice bar downstairs with lots of nice places to sit inside and outside. Pleasant atmosphere all round. The breakfast is fantastic and likewise the staff are wonderful.
A traditional Hotel which is being updated and upgraded. Our bedroom and bathroom are new and modern, and the quality throughout the hotel is of a high standard. The owners and their staff were extremely friendly, likeable and accommodating; food[including a comprehensive breakfast] & menu very decent; free parking also a plus. Highly recommended.

Happy Stay!
Great value for money with friendly staff
We dined two nights & enjoyed the meal!
The worst night sleep ever the sound of saniflo all through the night .we traveled 3 hours had a very busy day needed a good nights sleep which we didn't get
Lovely little pub hotel, cute rooms and the nice side door to reach the rooms so you don’t have to walk through the pub. Breakfast was lovely, free parking for guests, All in all a really lovely stay, we will definitely stay again.
Really lovely pub with a very nice room, there was a function on in the pub so the kitchen was shut which was a shame. Lovely breakfast, would highly recommend.
Ship is a centrally located old inn with fresh life being infused the bar and restaurant have happened and bedrooms are in progress although no signs of disruption.Good work is occuring.
The ship Hotel has the warmest friendliest staff that we have had the pleasure of meeting for a long time even the dinosaur we came across at breakfast gave us a roar .
The breakfast was great a good selection and steak Friday was a goody deal Sunday dinners 2 courses for £17 excellent.
Nice place, friendly staff. Had to mind my head, being 6ft 4, and the ceilings...weren't! Room was small, but functional, and very clean and tidy. Overall a nice place for the cost.
We enjoyed one night's stay at the Ship Inn. The food was excellent and the staff friendly and helpful.
Our room was rather small but we could have opted for other rooms with more space which, in retrospect, would have been a good idea.
