We booked a 2 night stay, with our daughter in order to be at a close friend's funeral service and wake. The hotel is ideally located to appreciate the view across the water, and to watch the comings and goings in the bay. The staff were really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The public areas and therooms are lovely and clean. Parts of the hotel are ready for being refurbishment (which is about to take place) but it would be a shame if the whole project loses all of the period atmosphere of the present building. The bar was comfortable and the barman (owner/manager??) was very personable and amusing. In fact, all of the staff made us feel really welcome and were encouraging us to return after the refurbishment has been completed.

Location was perfect, right in the center of the small town and close to the bus stop. Staff was professional and kind. Our room was in a bad spot overlooking the trash cans and very close to a pub but overall the location was wonderful

I chose a room with two single beds, but unfortunately the beds aren't very comfortable. You can feel the springs inside the mattress...so zero comfort. It's a shame, because the hotel is truly beautiful, the location perfect, and the guy at the check-in desk was really nice and kind. In short, everything was perfect except the comfort of the beds

The staff were warm and welcoming, especially Diane. It was like greeting an old friend when ever we entered the dining room. The food was exquisite. I plan to return with my family.

We were made to feel welcome by the receptionist, barman and dinning staff. Their friendly and helpful manner added to the enjoyment of our stay. We would highly recommend people to stay at the Ship and Castle.

Good location on seafront updated clean room. The only downside was no parking within the hotel but a carpark just up the road .

Kevin • Couple Trip

The hotel was great with a fantastic sea view, staff were friendly and helpful. I read the description of the hotel which said parking available (for a fee) but on arrival found it was a nearby council carpark. I took my old soft top car and was disappointed to leave it overnight outside and vulnerable. It would have been helpful if the car park arrangement was clearer
