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.

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.

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.

Nice place to stay in the middle of New Romney. Stayed last year and pleased to see the owners have updated many of the rooms. On the day of arrival the WiFi was poor, but with a newly fitted system overnight the new set up was excellent. Breakfast was really good and will definitely stay again.

Stayed for one night during cycle tour. Friendly welcome and safe storage for my bicycle. Nice bar, eating area, good food, beer. Breakfast very good. Downside was room very small and very close to a busy, noisy road. Could do with double glazing...
