The staff was AMAZING. I had multiple requests and needs and they met each one with grace and great customer service. However, one of the things I needed to ask was how to find my room. It's a maze and not well marked. Rooms were dark but large. Great location - easy to walk to the pier, the lanes. right on the beach

Fantastic stay

Honestly it was such a nice old school hotel I loved the lift from 1920 and the rooms were outdated but I enjoyed my time there! All staff were honestly so lovely I would definitely stay again however if your looking somewhere modern look elsewhere this wouldn’t be for you.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The Ship is in a good location with the benifits of some parking if it is available. The staff were okay they just did the job required but without any enthusiasm! However, the bed was very comfortable and the room nice and large. The hotel lets itself down as the bathroom is in desperate need of a refurbishment!!! So this unfortunately spoilt our stay.
