Very cosy. Great atmosphere in the bar/restaurant. Lovely breakfasts. Great location. A bit quirky. Rooms (particularly bathrooms) are quite small, though the rooms have plenty of character. We would go back. More

A testament to quirky vintage interior deco and trendy wallpapers, we loved all aspects of the Ship Inn. Saturday dinner was well-cooked with imaginative use of ingredients, cocktails started off the evening well and everyone's meal was delicious - very good value too. A FAB breakfast and relaxed service meant an excellent start to a Sunday of exploring Dungeness, on... More

We stayed in Rye for a weekend and found the Ship Inn online. It has a great atmosphere, the best breakfast I have ever had and the managers and staff were so friendly and welcoming but also discreet. The rooms were bright, comfortable (although the bed was slightly firmer than i'm used to) and had lots of little quirky touches... More

Stayed for two nights early December. Delightful old pub done up but without any of the usual cliched add-ons. Very laid back atmosphere, great low volume mood music with staff fully attentive to needs. Rooms basic but clean and comfy. Great location in this super little town. Food a real surprise - good wholesome quality reasonable prices. An ace place.... More

booked a couple of nights but only stayed for one. The top room was a bit chilly, basic with a hard bed, The bath was chipped and furnishings well worn. Lovely breakfast but all in all not worth £100 per night. More

Stayed for one night at The Ship Inn. The room was nice, a small double bed. The pub is quite nice, except that my wife who was waiting for me in the pub was told that eating food that wasn't bought in the pub was not allowed, and this argument only for an vegetable. Trouble sleeping, strong winds caused the... More

The Ship Inn has a great personality from decor to staff. The shabby-chic character adds to the completely relaxing atmosphere. The service, menu, food and bar are hard to fault. Games, papers and books add to the enjoyment of spending an hour or two around the bar/eating area. The rooms are small, clean, simple and stylish and suit the character... More

I'm not sure that yogagirl10 had a typical experience at The Ship ("buying detox wipes"...?), because i find myself agreeing with most of the good reviews. I stayed with two under-twos in a room, which was cramped but we got through! The breakfast was nice, as were the coffees, the dinner were ok. Beers were lovely and the staff were... More
