Stayed here a few times for work and have always been happy with the level of service. On checking in today , I was impressed with the level of patience and professionalism as the lady on Reception explained to a customer that sadly a 'Sunday ' carvery was not to be found on a Monday. My only downside is the direct view when laying in the bath shows the loo to be a tad stained on the underside of the rim . Will not give the room away but on the second floor. Other than that , would happily come back

I've stayed here a couple of times and can't say I've had a "bad" experience, but for the best part of £100 for room only I expect a clean toilet - the one in my room was badly stained and hadn't seen the bleach bottle for some time I suspect.... bath water was a dodgy green colour.

The bar / restaurant area is nice and quiet, but I had to repeat my food order twice, then the waitress came over to my table to check it with me again (she had ordered the wrong thing). Guests were left standing at the bar while bottles of whatever were being sought in the cellar / cupboard. One guy was left there almost 10 minutes after ordering a drink! The food was ok..... "asian salad" I expected to be a sort of stir fry / noodley/ cabbagey kind of concoction but it came with a load of oranges and pomegranete. Odd but nice.

Breakfast good, efficient staff. Check out was too slow - breakfast hasn't been added and there was a bit of to'ing and fro'ing to get it sorted.

Might seek an alternative next time. Dirty loos really are a no no The Ship - take note!

I booked this hotel for a couple of nights away with my wife using Best Western Rewards and was a little worried after reading some of the previous reviews on this site. Our experience cannot have been more different, from the moment we arrived we experienced nothing but good personal service. The room, 203, was large, well furnished and very comfortable. There was a large flat screen tv with full choice of freeview channels and efficient fast free wifi access. We did not use the restaurant for our evening meals but breakfast was very good with buffet cold choice and hot food cooked to order, I can particularly reccomend the smoked haddock and poached eggs although the quality of the other hot breakfast items was also very good.

In summary the Ship Hotel was excellent value for the £59 we paid bed and breakfast and I would have no hesitation in booking this hotel again or reccomending it to friends and family. Thank you very much for a most enjoyable stay.

Popped in today to shelter from the rain and decided to have lunch in Gordon's the Hotel's restaurant. Friday is Pie day, every week there is a selection of two choices, including a drink for about £8.00 including veg. Ordered a helping of bread (made on premises, fresh & tasty, one with seeds and nuts, the other with fruit of some sort) and olives, marinated to their own recipe on the premises, with a refreshing citrus twist.
I had the Chicken, Leek and Ham pie, my husband had shin of beef with red wine and mushrooms - cooked to order, wafer thin hot crust pastry encasing a full portion of delicious, tasty meat. Veg was a good size portion of peas and courgettes, with a handsome dollop of creamy mash. Gorgeous. The generous glass of house white went down a treat, too. If you're passing, or need a taste of super high quality chef cooking with warm, attentive service delivering real value for money, do stop and give it a go.
