Hired The Cabin for a family dinner for 30 of us and took up the offer of the courtesy minibus. The service before and during the evening was excellent. Waiting staff were very friendly and attentive. Fish and chips were cooked perfectly and would be hard to beat. The venue overlooking the beach was lovely and made it a special evening.

From the welcome to the departure everything was just perfect. Comfortable room. Spotless bathroom. Excellent views, incredibly helpful and polite staff. Swift service (even at times it was busy) Food was great and Breakfast was faultless. The location itself was just incredible. Walks along the huge beach (When the tide was out) Easy driving distance to some of the tourist coastal spots and plenty of parking available around the hotel. My wife and I are looking forward to coming back.

The Ship Inn hosted our Vow Renewal ceremony and could not rate the customer service and support high enough. We used the cabin for our small gathering of 10 and we booked out 5 rooms for our guests. The team were outstanding; a few examples: guest allowed to check in early for ceremony, safe space made avilalble for our dogs, cabin access early to decorate room, the outside area reserved for us to use and passing customers moved on when they took seats on our deck, team managed all the table decor and changes, eating time moved out by almost 2 hours without any issues (because the finger food was so delicious)). The girls ran back and forth all day topping up drinks. I could go on and on and on… All rooms were spotless and fully stocked and the views from the front facing rooms stunning. The value for money for our full weekend of rooms, food and drinks was excellent. Thanks to the whole team for a seriously professional and welcoming service.

Booked the Admirals room and a Captains room. Both rooms had an amazing sea view. Lovely roll top bath in the Admirals room. We ate breakfast and dinner at the Ship inn. Both were excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend a stay here.

Lovely place for a 3 night stay with excellent food and a lovely view of the harbour from our room. Could be noisy peak season , as the Inn is right by the road so you hear the early morning delivery vans and late night guests outside. Staff very helpful . Great location for walking out along the coastal path. I would definitely visit again

Stayed at the Ship Inn for a couple of nights and can only say it was an excellent experience; room was well appointed with fabulous views across the bay. Breakfast was superb with plenty of choice. Also had dinner in the bar which was very good indeed, again plenty of choice offered.

Lovely overnight stay with dinner, bed and breakfast. Could not fault the staff for the pre-stay phone calls and information given. Booking in was so easy. Staff were welcoming and very attentive throughout our stay. Room was spotless with an over the bay view. It is not a cheap stay but it was definitely worth it - will be back.
