    Amazing stay with great views

    Just spent a night here and it was awesome! Our room had a stunning view of the harbor. The food in the restaurant was top-notch, especially the seafood. The staff were super friendly and made us feel right at home. Only bummer was the parking situation, it was a bit tricky to find a spot.

    great location but small room for solo travelers

    The harbor views from my room added a lovely touch to my stay. The staff's friendliness made me feel welcome throughout my visit.

    The room was quite small, which might be a concern for those seeking space.

    delicious dinner
    fantastic breakfast
    cozy lounge
    kitchen noise

    Had an amazing stay with delicious dinner options and fantastic breakfast choices that really hit the spot! We enjoyed the cozy lounge area and the lovely outdoor seating for some fresh air. The only thing was a bit of noise from the kitchen early in the morning, but it didn’t really bother us. 😊

    Oh, the Pork Belly at The Ship Inn was a culinary delight! Juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor, it was a dish worthy of rave reviews. Not to mention, the friendly staff made our stay special, always ready with a smile and helpful tips.

    friendly service
    mixed restaurant experience
    poor desserts

    The location by the harbor is stunning, and the service is friendly and attentive. While the room was clean and had beautiful views, the restaurant experience was mixed, with the food being tasty but some desserts falling short. A lovely place overall.

    During my stay, I was enchanted by the charming décor of The Ship Inn, which beautifully reflects its historical significance. The cozy seating areas made it accessible and welcoming for seniors like myself, providing a comfortable atmosphere.

    Consider providing more comfortable seating options.

    sea view
    friendly staff
    delicious breakfast
    uncomfortable bed
    noisy environment
    worn mattress

    I had a wonderful time at The Ship Inn during my getaway. The location by the harbour is stunning. My room offered a panoramic sea view, which was breathtaking. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They even stored my bike overnight in a safe place. Dining at the restaurant was a highlight. I enjoyed a delicious meal of cajun fish that was cooked to perfection. Breakfast was equally impressive with fresh local options. the bed was uncomfortable, felt worn out, and didn’t provide a good night's sleep. Sound from the pub below could be heard too, which might bother light sleepers.
