Most enjoyable
Pros:

The accommodation and breakfast was good, the staff, very polite and welcoming. The service at dinner was lacking with a long wait between being seated and being served. Having said that, we my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our week at The Ship.

Cons:

Pros:

Fab staff, they all work so hard and are friendly, nothing too much trouble. Breakfast was great, good service. It was only available for an hour more hotels should adopt that idea. Great location for the beautiful beach 2 mins away. We stayed for 2 nights, the hottest of the year, our room was still comfortable.

Cons:

Our room was on the roadside overlooking the seating area so it can get quite noisy so I suggest you stay and enjoy the ambience! We didn't eat the evening meal, just had drinks, but the food looked great and it was busy so I think that says it all.
