Had an amazing stay at Ship in Dock Inn. The owner had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and special. Lots of little extra details that you don't get in most places. The breakfast was just perfect and service prompt and friendly. We're so glad we chose it and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a comfortable B&B that's in a wonderful location!

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

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.

Small but beautifully fitted out room with high quality furniture, fabulous bathroom. Lovely to stay in a place with character that doesn’t look like a travelodge. Good value. Good in room snacks, lovely breakfast cooked beautifully. Lovely big bath! Alternative shower head with better flow would have been nice (it was a v large diffuse spray) and TV wall stand had the TV at a slight angle and needed replacement. But these were minor glitches. Friendly and hospitable host. Free on street parking nearby as we stayed before 1st May. Highly recommended!

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.
