Very Good

Just a basic inn with a bed to sleep in.
Everything is extremely basic, which helps keep costs down — and I do appreciate that. However, cleanliness could definitely be improved. The banisters and tables were sticky, and the room had a musty smell. The television could have been made to work better.
The one highlight was the well-cooked breakfast and the pleasant host, which was a nice touch.

The gentleman who served breakfast, also carried luggage and called the taxi!
He stayed outside the building until the taxi actually arrived! Very nice man!
Lovely old hotel in the heart of the village , roaring fire , great menu and if like me you are a coeliac you are well catered for .
Parking just around the corner and very cheap
Very clean room , everything needed .
Excellent breakfast and so friendly , we will return
Food was pretty good but room wasn’t. The staff do the best they can. Parking was a fair ways away. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Arrived at The Ship, had to fight our way in through the crowded pub. Free public parking advertised, but there is none had to pay for parking about 5 minutes walk away. It was very noisy, especially in the early morning, dustmen, bottle collecting and deliveries. Returned to pub first evening after a walk with a sign in the doorway saying “full, come back later” so went elsewhere to eat.
Lovely stay. Friendly staff. Perfect location to explore Mevagissey. We enjoyed the pub, the food, and hearing the gulls outside the window. Felt like travelers from an adventure story staying at the Ship Inn.
Great old Cornish inn in the heart of the village, just a few yards from the harbour. The food was excellent, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back.

Value for money stay
Have stayed at the Ship a few times over the years so knew what to expect. Nothing has changed it’s an old building. Staff were excellent meal in the evening and breakfast next day were both good. Very central location

Easy access to everything in Mevagissey. Room and facilities a little tired.
Very good breakfast.
The Ship is a really interesting and authentic place to stay and provides excellent food, drink and service. The staff were really friendly and helpful, despite having struggled to keep the pub open as a result of recent spring tide flooding of the bar. The room was homely and comfortable, but a little maintenance would be good
The Ship Inn is a delightful place to stay. Friendly, welcoming and full of character - just like Dianne! Who is lovely and cooks a delicious "Cornish Breakfast". Thank you for a great stay.
I stayed on the evening at the start of festival week. It was loud as to be expected and it was great to be in the thick of the activities. Location is excellent and not far from the car park. Room was clean, although a little tired.
Excellent stay all round. The Ship is located right in the centre of Mevagissey; best car park is less than 5 minutes walk away. Really friendly and efficient staff, good food and great rooms!
