Beautiful, comfortable and the best sleep

We had a beautiful one night stay at the Ship for a special birthday celebration. The staff were extremely hard working and whilst busy they still remained professional and kind. The room was stunning with a beautiful view of the conservation beach outside. The bed was huge and really comfortable! We had the best nights sleep. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choices. Wonderful place to stay.

Great Hotel......but!

I really liked this place, room was great, good parking, staff were excellent and my meal in the evening was really good with a nice wine list. However what let it down was the final hurdle, the breakfast. I ordered the full english but unfortunately my sausage was cold, bacon way over cooked (probably been cooked a while earlier) and the black pudding was just terrible. This was a disappointing end to what was a great stay. I will definately be back again and would encourage others to stay here, but next time I might just get room only.
