What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Really lovely dining room following some refreshing renovation work. Excellent food in value, quality and quantity, and the service was really quick. The bar is quite big and there's outside seating. On the whole prices were good. However, I felt having to pay £5 for a Heineken 0% 340ml was a bit steep! The owner/manager is really accommodating. I must mention that the toilets were in dire need of some TLC.”
“Had Sunday lunch here. Frankly it was sublime. Freshly cooked using quality ingredients, generous portions and very good value in very nice surroundings. Service was really good and attentive and came with a warm welcome. We had a pudding between us as couldn't manage one each. Delicious rhubarb and apple crumble and custard again freshly cooked. Good selection of beers and wines and good value. Sadly don't live locally or would be here every Sunday!”
“Was camping but tent damaged by storm Dave. Luckily there was a cancellation at the Ship so the weekend wasn’t ruined. Thanks to the owner for the lovely room with a sea view. Recommend.”
