Good central location was initially concerned being next to a bottle shop but the area was very quiet at night. Bedroom is upstairs with a TV, air conditioner & comfy king size bed with balcony.

The property was very convenient and clean except for a few spiders and webs on the architraves. A bit noisy in the surrounding area in the mornings but it is a commercial area so to be expected but was tolerable. Would stay again and recommend to others.

As part of excellent customer service any establishment should be judged on how they deal with disgruntled customers. The Ship Inn staff know that this is an opportunity to demonstrate a high level of service.
Well done Ship Inn. Thank you.
