Best Western Ship Hotel

Excellent front desk and staff throughout my brief visit but have stayed before and was the same. Breakfast was first class, dinner was very well priced but I always use one of the many local restaurants of which there are many. less

We frequently lunch at the Ship Hotel on a Sunday it being a short walk away. The staff are always welcoming but lately the turn over of personnel has been a bit off putting. However they are helpful and usually of a genial disposition. The ambiance in here is of a preserved genteel of bygone days, excellent, you are able to enjoy a meal in comfort. The food here is of a well prepared galley and good cooks it always tastes as it should beef nice and tender with all the necessary vegetable accompanying it also with great taste. The tables are always well laid sparkling glassware, shining cutlery and snow white serviettes a joy to sit down to. Sundays at the Ship a must if you are local or on holiday less

Decent hotel with nice clean rooms, decent bathrooms and a nice bar, it caters for weddings so weekends can be a tad noisy but all in all a pleasant place to stay with parking but get in early for parking as it goes quickly less

I attended The Ship Hotel for a lunchtime reunion with old work colleagues. We dined in the Windsor Room. It was perfect for our group. The selection of starters was good. I had the patè which was tasty. The main courses were plate filling. I had the Turkey with all the trimmings. Christmas came early for me. I finished off with the fresh fruit salad which was huge and refreshing. A great venue for a great lunch. less

I was allocated a single room for 3 nights stay. I did not expect what appeared to be slightly higher end student digs for almost £100 per night and was not aware just because I was traveling alone that I would be penalised in this manner. I haven't slept in a single bed for about 30 years!! The room was cleaned daily. I was staying in room 108 which appears to be over the pub area and I feel like I am sat on a speaker it's so loud. There is no view. The room overlooks a flat roof onto a lane which is oppressive to say the least. I came here on a business trip and cannot work in this room I have a headache and out of 3 nights here I have had disrupted 2 nights with excessive noise. Where I come from in Wales these prices are 5 star so I did not expect such an awful room. I won't be staying here again or recommending it to anyone. Totally unacceptable standards of noise and has ruined my experience. AVOID if you intend to do any business work from your room. The two stars are for the cleanliness of the room and the staff who attended a problem with brown murky bath water the first night and resolved the issue in time for the following evenings return to the room. less
