Lovely stay in The Petticrow room at the Ship. Great location opposite the clock tower. Room very nicely presented with winged armchairs facing out from the bay window. The Ship has a great restaurant where we enjoyed moules frites and beer battered fish, plus bar snacks on other nights. The breakfast was a buffet type continental, with yoghurt, fruit, grapefruit, toast, croissants and orange juice and cereals at tables laid in the restaurant. The Ship is in good upkeep and has a selection of good beers and cocktails. The staff are friendly and welcoming and we’ll return to stay again.

Lovely hotel , terrible breakfast

Very nice rooms , very spacious , comfortable. Staff were lovely and helpful BUT the bed is a few inches off the floor which is modern and oriental looking but difficult for me because I was carrying a leg injury . Breakfast was terrible . For a hotel that prides itself on its food , (and the dinner we had was excellent) if you’re going to limit guests to a continental breakfast , you have to offer more than Kellogg variety packs, a few slices of processed bread , single flavour cheap yoghurts, croissants that were like cardboard and lukewarm coffee.

Top service and accommodation

Great service from arrival to departure, all the staff were polite and helpful. Room was spotless and spacious, the bathrobes and slippers were a nice touch. We ate in the restaurant and the food and service was very good. The breakfast was continental style with lots of choice. Would we return?......yes we would.

Wonderful stay. Could have done with more lighting in the bathroom as it was impossible for my partner to put on her makeup. Otherwise a perfect stay.

Excellent location - decor and ambience welcoming - rooms airy and bright but personally found the beds too low. Staff very friendly. Breakfast was basic continental - restaurant food very good. Restaurant/pub was very busy at all times. Private parking is an advantage! Would stay there again.

The bed was very low to the floor we struggled to get of the bed. The room was cold the heating came on for a little while on our first night and on the second day never came on at all, and on both days there was no heating in the morning in the bedroom where you would expect the heating on when you get up given that it was January it was very cold. We would not recommend

My only gripe is that the bed was very low, and I struggled with that as I have had both my knees replaced in the last 12 months. Apart from that, it was an excellent place to stay.
