Lovely stay
Really lovely pub with a very nice room, there was a function on in the pub so the kitchen was shut which was a shame. Lovely breakfast, would highly recommend.

Nice place to stay for the price, recommended!
Nice place, friendly staff. Had to mind my head, being 6ft 4, and the ceilings...weren't! Room was small, but functional, and very clean and tidy. Overall a nice place for the cost.

We enjoyed one night's stay at the Ship Inn. The food was excellent and the staff friendly and helpful.
Our room was rather small but we could have opted for other rooms with more space which, in retrospect, would have been a good idea.

Nice place to stay in the middle of New Romney. Stayed last year and pleased to see the owners have updated many of the rooms. On the day of arrival the WiFi was poor, but with a newly fitted system overnight the new set up was excellent. Breakfast was really good and will definitely stay again.

1 night stay
Stayed for one night during cycle tour. Friendly welcome and safe storage for my bicycle. Nice bar, eating area, good food, beer. Breakfast very good. Downside was room very small and very close to a busy, noisy road. Could do with double glazing...
