Marvellous location and great history. Sea front view is outstanding. Overall its a story of "faded splendour" and some tlc is much needed. Apparently this is in the pipeline, so hopefully this will happen soon.

The room was very tired indeed. Shabby furniture, wallpaper coming apart , bathroom grout was black in places , bath had big water stain. Booked a deluxe room , it didn’t look or feel deluxe. Staff very friendly and helpful

Good location . This hotel is of age. Breakfast was average and we needed to ask for cooked food to be refilled . There was no choice of eggs or mushrooms . The toast machine took ages to brown. The parking is convenient under the hotel and of a good price .

Good location

Ok stay at the Old Ship. No parking available and wasn't able to check into room at 2pm on arrival so didnt get it until returned at 6pm. No early check in for platimum guests. Room was average and dated, probably Worth paying for a deluxe room if return. Love the location of the hotel but it dies need a bit of renovation soon.
