Could do with some updating and maintenance work. Quite shabby in places. Pricey for condition of the hotel. Breakfast was good but had to pay for it. Not one I would choose to stay at again, not for that price anyway.

Staying at the Old Ship Hotel is a glimpse into the past - the history is wonderful and the location is great . Our room was a decent size and comfortable, other than the bed that we found too soft , and it does show its age in the furniture and carpets and so on - but still a great stay , we’ll be back
