very deceptive from the outside so don't just this place from the street. The rooms are very comfortable, clean and well furnished. We had the 'Deck' room which looked straight out to the sea. The breakfasts are superb and wwe also had lunch and dinner here in the modern restrauant all of which were very good and good value. The... More

We spent 1 night at the hotel as part of a weekend trip away to Kent. The place is a pub/restaurant with a small cottage next door where there are 4 rooms. Ours was on the ground floor with access to a terrace and view over the pebble beach and sea. Our room looked like it had been recently refurbished,... More

We had "Room 1, Suite with Channel View" and it includes your own lounge, complete with huge flat-screen and DVD player. Lovely old pub too and a superb breakfast (buttered mushrooms to die for). What more do you need, I ask you!

Delightful room looking out to sea, freshly decorated and very comfortable. Entrance is a little scruffy but the room and breakfast very good. Landlord very helpful.

We stayed for one night before taking early Eurotunnel trip and were really pleased with the hotel. The room we had was extremely well furnished with a separate sitting room looking out to sea. The pub downstairs is very traditional with an excellent selection of real ales. In contrast the restaurant has clearly been recently refurbished and as an interesting... More

I chose this hotel based on the great reviews - Location was perfect as it was so close to the sea. We were greeted with a very warm wecome from Stewart and his daughter and shown to a perfect sea view room around the corner. We had the use of a sitting room as well (added bonus). The room was...

We have visited the Ship half a dozen times this year, the first being a celebration of my Mothers life with friends and family. The food has been very tasty on every visit, my only complaint being that it is so popular some of the dishes sell out far too fast. It is fantastic to stare out at the sea... More

The B&B element of the stay was OK, the room was clean and well equipped - the noisy fridge next to the bed didn't encourage sleep though. Breakfast was OK without being commercial traveller standard. Limited parking and the landlady almost had me in tears with the stresses of operating a B&B. Don't pick it because it is attached to...

My wife and I stayed at the Ship Inn for 4 nights before departing from Dover on a Baltic Cruise. We has a Ocean view room which was the best for any B&B we have stayed in. I would put in the category of a 5 star hotel room. The hospitality was very professional and the boss Wendy went that... More

Thanks to the reviews here, we stopped off in The Ship Inn on our way from The Netherlands to Ireland. (It's very near the Channel Tunnel.) Even allowing for the reviews, it surpassed our expectations. It's a long time since we had that feeling of surprise at the high standard of our room, given the size of the guest house.... More
