"Second stay at the Ship Inn, room is perfect, breakfast excellent. Food is terrific although the restaurant was almost full (apparently it usually is…) and this perhaps reflected in the service last night. Example, we were finished our starters and had to chase our drinks. But granted restaurant was very busy. Would certainly use again if opportunity arises."
