Easy parking. Check-in was a breeze. Helpful and friendly staff. Dinner in the restaurant was sublime (and I have a very fussy partner so trust me on this). The room exceeded expectations and thoughtful little niceties like sweets and luxurious ample bathroom additions and slippers/bathrobes. We were a little late down for the 10am finish for the Continental breakfast, but not made to feel rushed at all. In fact the lovely Manager Jacey was warm and chatty. Highly recommend for value, service and comfort in a little known yet stunning Essex coast locale.

Excellent location with lots of charm! The breakfast was simple and sufficient (unless you are gluten-free). The rooms were large and comfortable. Some dust on the lamp shades, etc. but otherwise clean. Staff were very friendly. Very nice bar/restaurant.

The Ship Inn is beautiful, great staff from meeting them upon welcome and throughout our stay. Following a days walking we had the perfect stay, stunning room both in decor and size, a huge comfy bed, great tea and a fan to keep us cool. The food was a delight, although had only three oysters left so we had them along with Sardines on toast followed with the delightful Chateaubriand steak. Perfectly cooked and a delight to share with my wife, and a lovely bottle of wine. Special thanks to John for running the bar and table service, all with a smile and excellent communication skills. My only request would be to have to more local sea food / shellfish available on the menu. Could not recommend higher.
