Lovely stay with stunning views

We had a wonderful stay the views were amazing the staff were lovely there was a bit of a mix up with the meat delivery so there were quite a few things not available on the menu this was fully explained and we recieved a 20%discount I thought this was a lovely gesture. I would highly recommended staying here and I look forward to our next visit

A hidden gem

We were greeted by the most friendly gentleman, who checked us in, offered to take our bags and showed us to our room. He asked if we would like a table for dinner and invited us to join in with the quiz. The food was delicious, the waiting staff knowledgeable, chatty and even the other customers were friendly too.

Spectacular location.

Only booked a couple of hours before arriving. Random choice that ended up being idyllic. Great room, spectacular view. Derive in the restaurant could have been better but that didn’t impact our enjoyment
Mike, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room had an amazing view but lacked basic maintenance.
Steve, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

0ur stay at the Ship Inn was excellent, staff were excellent, food was very good with a good selection of dishes. Bedroom was very comfortable, clean and great amenities. I would stay there again, really enjoyed its location, the beautiful views. Only negative was due to our stay being in February, out of season, the bar was shut at 9.30pm on a Friday night due to being very quiet. I personally think regardless of trade if you are residing in the Ship Inn that the bar should be available for usual open hours for hotel guests. After all you are paying to stay in a place that advertises the bar as a selling point and to be expected to be back in your room for 9.30 as the facilities have shut is not what you'd expect when booking to stay above a bar.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent

Great welcome, clean (I didn't go full Four in a Bed) and well appointed room, lovely shower and comfy bed. View was lovely (see pics). Good value and quality food (ate breakfast and dinner), good service, three cask lines, usual range of keg and good range of spirits, service from all staff excellent, friendly locals, close to beach and walks. Saw dolphins both days when eating breakfast! Only (technical) downsides: no other pubs/restaurants close walk by if you were staying for longer and wanted variety, bathroom window wouldn't fully close (wasn't in any way an issue, so much so we forgot to mention at check-out). We definitely plan on returning. For longer.

Will be booking again

The pub is Marstons brewery so they have no control over menu or drinks, this is a great shame as the local produce would offer excellent meals both healthy and not feel like the chain which it is. Food; we did have problems with a few dishes but we raised them at the time and it was rectified. Overall really nice, just a shame there was not a lot available as in off menu, and no healthy options. Service: the staff are lovely and friendly, a lot was going on internally and things were going wrong but all were very jolly about it and I can’t say it impacted negatively on our stay. It was slow at times, and this was frustrating as a lot of people were sat down discussing issues rather than serving but no wait was longer than 10mins or so. It wasn’t welcoming on arrival, a few of the younger staff clearly didn’t want to be there. A more mature lady server however was great to chat with, fun and professional. Drinks; it’s a real ale pub that had 1 real ale on draught, happily a nice ale but disappointing to not have choice. Cocktails excellent and good wine list. Room; nice coffee, clean, outstanding view and lovely to be able to open balcony doors and window. Dolphins can be seen from here, binoculars a must! It is a busy pub, run with lovely people so I would say if there’s a problem, tell them as they do sort things out and very cheerfully. We plan to return annually, if Marstons can cater for some salads and lower calorie options that would be great! Very special place.

Staff Willow, Betsy & Kate, are brilliant and made our stay amazing! Willow even brought in an iron in from her home, as the iron at the Ship had gone missing. We’ve already booked to return later in the year. Highly recommended, other ship is in a great location, with a view that is priceless.

Chain Pub

This is the 2nd time I have stayed here. Last time it was a brains pub but it is now a marstons. This time the rooms needed updating. The wine was not good. We tried the cheaper of the rose and white and they were disgusting. Food - where do I start, I had the "Bet Ever Pub Pie". I have to say it definitely was not. Wish I could upload a photo. Hardly any chips, one carrot and the pie was nothing special. I will not be returning to this pub. But to end the staff were brilliant and could not do anymore for us

8/10 Very good

A special shout out to Tom the waiter who went above and beyond serving us in the pub, he was the only worker doing his job on Sunday 9th march 25, his manager sat chatting to public all shift or out the front having a vape, while Tom was running around catering for everyone all on his own. Never once complained and had a smile all shift.
