All ship shape at the Ship!

Danny 8/10

Needed a bed for the night whilst visiting family so did not need food.

Pros: Location and friendly staff despite being a busy pub in holiday season. Upgrade to room 10, rooms 9&10 are ensuite and recently refurbished.

Cons: Steps up to rooms and the noise for a short period at closing time from the street.

Pros: The bed was lovely and comfortable, the room was a good size and the ensuite was a good enough size and the shower had good water pressure.

Lorraine 9/10

The room was very comfortable. No noise from the pub below which surprised me. Very comfy bed so ideal for my needs

Pros: Large room with good en suite with walk in shower.

Neil 8/10

Great place, just a little noisy.

Pros: The staff were helpful and friendly. The room was spacious and clean, and the bed was very comfortable.

Cons: No fault of the hotel itself but, as is expected with somewhere so close to a bus station, things got noisy outside from around 5 in the morning.

James 10/10

Very good value

Pros: Very good value for money, the king suite is large and comfortable with a new en-suite. I stay here regularly for work.

Cons: Not that this can be changed but the parking can be a pain. You can’t book for the full night if you get there before a certain time, it only allows you to book to 5am so you have to remember to book more time. However I’ve forgotten twice and not had a ticket…yet

John 9/10
United Kingdom πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Pros: Nearly everything, live within walking distance and would stay again.

Cons: Room access required lots of stairs, no issue with that but one door had a wc sign and a fire exit sign, it was the way out but hesitant to use door initially.

Beautiful room but parking an issue

Pros: The room (room 8) was in the new extension. Lovely decor and all new furniture. Comfy bed and chair. Tea/coffee and coffee machine. Spacious shower. Lovely soap liquid. Quality towels. Huge TV with access to Netflix. Plenty of hangers in wardrobe. Own external access to rooms.

Cons: Noise of the traffic in the morning but there isn't much that can be done about this. The hotel is in the centre of a busy city. No full length mirror. Car park is a nightmare as only goes up to 5am with no return for 1 hour. Better to use park and ride. Get off at the rail station and then walk 5 mins to the Ship. Then get park and ride back in the morning. Β£3.50 each way.

Joseph 10/10

Pros: The Ship staff were very kind and helpful. The room was pristine and cozy. The bedding was comfy. The area was a ten minute walk to the centre.
