Quaint old world style Food was excellent and room was very clean Staff were very friendly The one downside was that there was no parking but that was the same for all hotels in that area I could have spent all day looking at the shipping artefacts in this inn Would definitely return for another stay

From arrival to departure the staff were very good. The restaurant was great with a good choice of food and the portions were big. The choice of real ales was varied 6 on tap and the ones I tried were very well kept. The whole ambiance of the bar was very welcoming and friendly.

Fabulous pub and accommodation. We arrived too late by 30 mins. Breakfast was lovely. Parking was at a large car park across the road and free between 6pm and 8am. We paid for 8-11am the next day and was £6.70. Great pub and staff were lovely

Room size and en suite excellent we had the superior room, only downside was the noise from guests in the room above. We didnt know you couldn't park your car in the pub car park unless you have a disabled badge.

We enjoyed the hotel but it was not very mobility friendly due to the stairs upto the room mind we never asked for a mobility room so we don't know if they had one and there are good handrails up the staircase but my wife has 2 replacement knees and still found it very difficult to get up and down the stairs

We had a an excellent one night stay. We ate in the restaurant in the evening. My husband’s daughter has a severe mustard and nut allergy and the staff were excellent in ensuring she was aware of the dishes that contained these ingredients. The meal in the evening was excellent as was the breakfast. All the staff we came into contact with in the bar, restaurant and reception were friendly and efficient. We would all definitely stay at The Olde Ship Inn again.

We had an issue with our bathroom and the staff attended to our needs immediately. Fabulous food, the standard and quality was high end at affordable prices. Would definitely visit Seahouses again, and stay at The Olde Ship Inn. Would recommend to others.
