Hotel was okay, although offering a good breakfast, is situated a bit far from key attractions, which may inconvenience some guests. Additionally, the lack of complimentary water, the need to pay for extras, and the absence of air conditioning in the room were notable drawbacks.
Guests may find the Dyson air purifier provided helpful in managing the warm temperatures, though the overall heat in the room could be uncomfortable. While the breakfast was a positive aspect, improvements in amenities and location proximity could enhance the hotel experience at The Ship Hotel.

Overnight stay
Second visit, great service, excellent food in the evening and choice of breakfast, had a room with a view this time, was more spacious and overlooked the marina, thanks for another great stay, lovely evening walks by the river or a nice pint outside. Handy for the Dockyard next day

Good restaurant
Lovely hotel, good restaurant and great location for visiting the historical dock yard and call the midwife film location.
The only bad thing was, i couldn't turn the tap off in the shower and there was a funny smell in the bathroom ( constantly) i would stay here again.
