The staff of Ship Inn were lovely and helpful. The room/bed was fine. The only thing that we had an issue was the bathtub did not drain well so we kept the water low. Thanks for having us!

A pleasant enough stay unfortunately the bar area closed at 8pm so we had to go out for a drink. I are there and did not really enjoy my chicken roast, which is unusual as it is one of my favourite meals. The worst thing was possibly the parking they advertise self parking which is in fact street parking. On a Sunday afternoon in this busy part of town there was no spaces to be found the car par.ks were full and no spaces on the streets at all
