Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The most amazing staff we have ever encountered.
The bedroom was a beautiful room but a bit tired but it seems the rooms are being updated,the en suite had been already.What makes The Old Ship Aground stand out head and shoulders are the staff,every single member of staff was delightful,they were happy and took an interest in each guest,never experienced it anywhere before. We will definitely be returning soon,amazing situation by the harbour,like a little village on its own although Minehead is only a 10 minute walk. The food was great,their steak was incredible.
