Stayed for two nights as a base to visit historic dockyard and RE museum. A lively pub situated on the side of the Marina. Ten minutes walk from dockyard, thirty minutes walk from RE museum. Room was fairly small but comfortable. Good shower. Very good full English breakfast but our evening meal wasn't as tasty. (I had sweet and sour beef) Staff were friendly and helpful, beer was well kept. it was good value for money.

The location is OK, very near the Historic Dockyard. Rooms are spacious enough and sympatheticly decorated. Parkingspace is available, but insufficient because it is used by all the shoppers for the Outletcenter nearby. Service wasn't really good. But the most annoying part : it was NOISY in the bar, the restaurant, on the terraces, the airco/ventilation.....

This is a nice pub / hotel.
Rooms are clean and tidy, though they do have an unusual geography with steps just inside the door making them unsuitable for disabled. I spent a comfortable night, though as someone commented, it can be quite noisy on a nice evening when there's a lot of people sitting outside.
It is worth remembering that the Ship and Trades is a pub with rooms, rather than a hotel with a bar. If you remember this, you won't go far wrong.
I didn't have dinner in the evening, but breakfast was excellent.
I would happily recommend.
The rooms, by the way, are named after Royal Naval warships which had been made in the Naval Dockyard.

Only stayed one night, but would do so again without hestitation. Rooms looked like new. They were clean, fresh and comfortable. The welcome was very friendly. The food was good standard pub fare which could be eaten in the bar area or the upstairs restaurant. Although busy the service was prompt and attentive. The location was excellent for many local attractions, including the Historic Dockyard, which is two minutes away, and the outlet shopping centre a hundred metres away. There is plenty of free parking.
