As a solo travel the single room was perfect for me. Small but perfectly comfortable the had thought of everything you need for a comfortable stay. All staff I encountered were very friendly and nothing was any trouble. I would highly recommend this place. An excellent 2 night stay.

The WiFi situation was poor (that’s a must these days because guests need to be able to access the internet) and the TV wasn’t the best experience. There was a lot of road noise early in the morning. The bed was “super comfortable” and the shower was excellent. 7/10 for the breakfast. The staff were lovely.

Lovely old world character pub, cheap beer, lively sports / music, good breakfast, friendly staff, ideal for short stay in local area. Room basic but clean & decent enough for my needs as a 1 night stay, comfortable bed, good water power in shower which was lovely to cool down and clean up in after a day in the hot weather. Of note in deciding to book a stay: pub was lively so could be a bit too noisy for some later at night, no aircon in accommodation (but a fan to waft the hot air around is provided !) and the road noise in early hours could be an issue if you are a light sleeper (obviously outside the control of the premises however, worth accounting for if one of your priorities is a good nights sleep). Overall, decent value for money and even if I book to stay there next time I'd still visit again for the ambience of the place.

We enjoyed our stay at The Spice Ship. It was in a really good location for us and it had parking. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was great and the Sunday roast was the best meal we had had on our 3 week holiday in England! Would stay there again if we are ever back in Weymouth.
