Very cute…but no air conditioning in bedroom!

Very cute place in the town I was born. Went for a visit after many decades of not seeing the town. Staff very lovely. The room had a low ceiling that my husband had to watch not to hit. Bed was comfortable but what made for a not pleasant sleep was that it had no air conditioning! The fan that was provided was not strong at all. It was so hot, didn’t have a good nights sleep 😟

Our stay at the Ship Inn was lovely - the rooms are perfect, the bed super comfy and ear plugs are provided for any noise from the pub downstairs (which we did not find a problem at all). Breakfast is continental but very lovely and we had a really nice stay. Also ate at the pub and would definitely recommend - all staff lovely and food really really good (and nice cocktails too at a good price!)

Lovely stay in The Petticrow room at the Ship. Great location opposite the clock tower. Room very nicely presented with winged armchairs facing out from the bay window. The Ship has a great restaurant where we enjoyed moules frites and beer battered fish, plus bar snacks on other nights. The breakfast was a buffet type continental, with yoghurt, fruit, grapefruit, toast, croissants and orange juice and cereals at tables laid in the restaurant. The Ship is in good upkeep and has a selection of good beers and cocktails. The staff are friendly and welcoming and we’ll return to stay again.

Lovely hotel , terrible breakfast

Very nice rooms , very spacious , comfortable. Staff were lovely and helpful BUT the bed is a few inches off the floor which is modern and oriental looking but difficult for me because I was carrying a leg injury . Breakfast was terrible . For a hotel that prides itself on its food , (and the dinner we had was excellent) if you’re going to limit guests to a continental breakfast , you have to offer more than Kellogg variety packs, a few slices of processed bread , single flavour cheap yoghurts, croissants that were like cardboard and lukewarm coffee.

Top service and accommodation

Great service from arrival to departure, all the staff were polite and helpful. Room was spotless and spacious, the bathrobes and slippers were a nice touch.
