We were a group of ex- Navy veterans returning to the historic dockyard and former naval trading establishment where we had previously served forty years earlier. We chose to stay at the Ship & Trades purely because of its excellent location and were not disappointed. The rooms are excellent, being quiet and well appointed, and the bar and restaurant are pleasantly situated by the picturesque marina. Parking is plentiful and free for residents. We were all delighted with the quality of our evening meals, which were not haut cuisine but beautifully cooked and presented, absolutely delicious and reasonable value. Drinks were similarly of excellent quality and reasonably priced. Breakfast was again an excellent mix of choices for both the healthy and enthusiastic foodies in our group. All staff were ”smiley”, helpful and keen to be of assistance.

This was a last minute booking and I was pleasantly surprised, I was able to charge my car…, for free, no parking charge either. The receptionist was welcoming and bar staff were friendly. Hotel room was perfect and beds super comfy!

We attended a wedding nearby and stayed at this hotel, which turned out to be an excellent choice. The room was clean and cozy, with a very comfortable bed and modern facilities. We appreciated the complimentary WiFi, which was fast and easy to connect to. The free parking was another big advantage, especially considering the location. The staff were courteous and helpful, making our stay stress-free from check-in to check-out. The hotel’s proximity to the wedding venue was ideal, and we found the overall value for money to be exceptional. This hotel offers everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Not certain which category to put this hotel in! It's not luxury but better than budget. The rooms are a little dated and the TVs need upgrading. The shower, again, a little dated.
We booked a room for three as our adult son has learning disabilities. He was delighted to find he had a separate bedroom with his own, small TV.
The rooms were clean, the hotel tidy, and a very good breakfast was included in the price. Overall, good value for money.
