We spent one evening and night at The Ship Inn as part of our Golden Wedding Celebrations. From the moment we checked in to the moment we left, the environment was welcoming, staff professional and friendly, rooms very clean and comfortable and breakfast perfect, giving more than adequate veggie options.
