Fabulous views over the harbour. Bit strange that the bungalow is in the beer garden but it wasn’t noisy and it was quite handy! Breakfast was fabulous with plenty of choice.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed in a single room on the top floor that was perfect for my needs - comfy bed, plenty of outlets, en suite, a window that opened, a small TV, a kettle, a desk. There are stairs and narrow hallways which might prove challenging for some, but the eclectic knick-knacks make it an interesting trip. The pub is small but has cozy side rooms, the dining area large enough with good breakfast options, and I also got a good pie for dinner one night. The location was perfect for taking a boat excursion or walking the small downtown area, and the (paid) parking area isn't too far away on the other side of the roundabout. (You can briefly stop in front on the inn to unload your luggage upon arrival, though!) The staff was great.

A lovely place to stay in beautiful surroundings, quaint hotel full of maritime memorabilia with several snug rooms to enjoy a relaxing drink or a delicious meal or fine in the delightful restaurant. Spacious bedrooms with lovely en-suite’s with the usual complimentary items.

One night stay on our way too Edinburgh

We had a an excellent one night stay. We ate in the restaurant in the evening. My husband’s daughter has a severe mustard and nut allergy and the staff were excellent in ensuring she was aware of the dishes that contained these ingredients. The meal in the evening was excellent as was the breakfast. All the staff we came into contact with in the bar, restaurant and reception were friendly and efficient. We would all definitely stay at The Olde Ship Inn again.

Excellent food

Really enjoyed our stay, staff very good, Breakfast very good, the full breakfast was too much for us. Night time meal very nice. Room size and en suite excellent we had the superior room, only downside was the noise from guests in the room above. We didnt know you couldn't park your car in the pub car park unless you have a disabled badge.

Great place to stay with loads of character

Great place to stay, with lots of character, especially maritime related. Staff were amazing, very friendly and welcoming. We had an issue with our bathroom and the staff attended to our needs immediately. Fabulous food, the standard and quality was high end at affordable prices. Would definitely visit Seahouses again, and stay at The Olde Ship Inn. Would recommend to others.
