    Loved my stay. Nice staff, building buzzing with history and right in the middle of Fowey. I had a nice and spacious room and breakfast was delicious. I personally loved the noises of the pub in the background when I'm tucked up in my room for the night, reminds me of home in the city, so slept incredibly well after a long day on the coast path

    We were not warned that the kitchen closed at 8.45 pm. On the contrary we were told on arrival at about 7 pm to make ourselves comfortable and to come down for dinner when we were ready.

    Staff were helpful about our bikes (which they allowed us to keep in the bedroom, though a garage or similar would have been better.

    Breakfast is 9-10am which we found late when needing to do a day out, though definitely tasty.

    Very easy going and low stress staff. They keep it simple. The room was nicely renovated for an old inn. The noise from the restaurant barely reaches the room.

    The pub has a great atmosphere, the staff are very friendly and know their trade. Breakfast was great as was our dinner. The location is good, but be aware that parking is a bit of a way away, so just take a small bag to check in. The bathrooms were great and the best shower of our travels.

    Vehicle access to the Inn and parking in this old part of the town is challenging, but unavoidable.

    A great location close to stores and attractions. A quirky historic building with a helpful landlord and good basic facilities.

    I wouldn't choose to have the separate private bathroom again as I take for granted an ensuite! Would prefer the higher rooms with ensuite if I have a choice but stay was comfortable all the same.

    Stayed in the Ship many times and been visiting Fowey for about 30 years now. Room not as good as some I've had in the Ship but it was fairly last minute and only one night. Breakfast great and staff helpful.

    I did not dislike anything. This would not be a good place to stay if you are not very mobile or if you don’t like to be in the hustle /bustle of a small town.

    Great position . Very friendly staff. Clean /comfortable room with a good bathroom.

    I had a meal which was not great but I heard many there having had fish pie how good it was, so think it was just what I had. It’s a pub so you expect noise I had some but nothing lasted that long it annoyed me and was not from the pub itself on one out of the two occasions.

    Easy to get to and a warm welcome when I checked in such a helpful member of staff, I was toured and they help me take my bag to my room. Thank you. Lovely clean welcoming room had all I needed.

    Bumping my head on said low doorway!

    It's an extremely old building so be prepared for low doorways, uneven floors and various wonky walls and other features. But that's all part of the charm.
