A good traditional pub with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. The food is first class and beautifully cooked, so much so we went back twice during our stay in Fowey. There is a good choice of dishes and and the puddings are to die for! Great value and you won't leave hungry. For beer drinkers there is a range... More

Stayed one night at The Ship and I have to say, it was excellent. A very warm welcome from the staff, roaring log fire and first class local Ales. Perfect way to start our trip. I have to say I was a bit apprehensive about not having an en-suite room but I needn't have worried. The bathroom was just fine... More

We called in at the Ship for a lunch. The pub had a lovely atmosphere created by the decor and much enhanced by the friendly staff. The food was absolutely excellent. Everyone in our party of 5 really enjoyed the meal. The following day we ate at Rhodes at the Dome. For quality, value and a atmosphere, it’s the Ship... More

Will definately go back, the location was excellent, easy to park in top of town car park and just drive down to pick up your bags. Really clean modern... More

Make sure you are hungry if you go for a meal. The food is fantastic and really generous portions. Always made to feel welcome whenever we go which is why we love... More

Great historical pub in the heart of this pretty estuary town. It was built in 1570 by John Rashleigh, who was one of Queen Elizabeth the 1st's Privateers in her war against the Spanish. Rashleigh also sailed to America with Raleigh and Drake. The pub has retained many old features, including a quirkily-shaped staircase, period bannisters, and a lovely stained... More

No ensuite but both bathrooms are brand new and clean it was not so much of a bother. The breakfast was delicious, served in... More
