This is a beer lovers haven and good for a drink only if you can manage to avoid the rude owner who takes pride in pandering to his local tribe of loyal subjects but whose rude and boorish attitude to customers outshines the obvious potential of this place. Even the bar staff apologised on his behalf saying'sorry that's just how he is'!! Intolerable and totally inflexible to making any compromises to accommodate customers making a polite enquiry about seating arrangements in their cramped snug. The " if your unhappy then cancel" response together with the locals obvious and vocal support to " outsiders" makes this a slur on the reputation of North Eastern hospitality. Terrible place and should maybe turn itself into a private members club as that is exactly how it is run. Terrible place I feel sorry for the staff working for a Fawlty esque owner who clearly doesn't care

I have stayed at the Ship over 4 times now, and still find something new each visit, the food is simple but tasty, my husband is the most fussy eater EVER! but is very happy with what he eats, the staff are very friendly, and would recommend the Alnwick whisky, sooooo strong is should have skull and bones printed on it. The rooms are warm simple and comfortable, yes a little pricey but you do get what you pay for, no screaming babies or children, all in all a great place to visit for a couple or group.

Very cosy pub after a blustery walk along the beach!

First day trip to Seahouses and had Sunday lunch here and it was lovely! Perfectly cooked lamb and vegetables full of flavour and fresh. Apple pie to follow, gorgeous pastry and loads of apple. Very friendly service too. Olde world place but very comforting on a bleak day.
