Beautiful individual room. Not standard soleless room. Beautiful seaview from room. Restaurant was extremely helpful by making me a vegetarian, gluten free salad with assorted cheeses and new potatoes. This was not on the standard menu, but very tasty. A very good experience and would love to return.

A brilliant dog friendly place to stay

Having recently got a second dog we wanted to trial a dog friendly hotel and see how well they behaved and how well we coped. We were pleasantly surprised at how well behaved both dogs were. We were very happy with the hotel staff who were all friendly, courteous and helpful. The hotel is perfectly located next to the beach access. We had a king size room and it was huge with a vast bathroom too. Plenty of room for us all to enjoy. We ate both Sunday dinner and breakfast during our stay and the food was delicious. We will definitely be returning.

A satisfied guest

Only complaint was WiFi Guest is unsecured so my devices wouldn’t work and TV signal isn’t the greatest. Rooms could do with AC. Apart from those little niggles I would definitely stay again, in fact will be staying again. Sea views magnificent. Food very good. Room and bathroom quirky well decorated and comfortable King size bed.

Dog friendly on the beach

We arrived at the Ship on quite a grey day, but the welcome from the staff soon cheered us up. We chose the ship because it was dog friendly and isn't it just every other person had a dog with them and you can take them anywhere. Our room was at the back with wonderful views over the sea. A ramp leads down to the beach. The room was a nice double with ensuite shower etc. Rooms not massive but this is av ery old building so it was as we expected. Breakfast is served between 0900 and 1000 in the restaurant area. Staff were great fussing the dogs a good well stocked bar wherte you can also eat if so inclined though we always used the dinningroom. Fish and chip shop in the carpark if you want to use that. All in all a gtreat experience and we will be looking to book again.
