We enjoyed our brief stay at The Ship Inn. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was lovely. The accomodation was clean and comfortable, and it was really warm on an extremely cold night. We would happily visit again, and would recommend it to family and friends.

Warm and clean accomodation with excellent freshly cooked food, efficient service and a smile.......A fantastic open fire in the bar and a good range of beer and wines. The cooked breakfast was something to die for as it set me up for the rest of the day, a real delight!!!
