Amazing breakfast. Stayed here a few times and they always remember which is my favourite table without my even having to ask, and they put a small "reserved" sign on it too! Lovely touch thank you!

Was advised that I couldn't arrive later than 10.00 but in fact I could have come even half an hour later as the barmaid was still clearing up. Meant I had to leave my event in London early unnecessarily. Could have been a bit more accommodating.

It was easily accessible, right on n the Avon Valley Path so we didn’t have to go off trail to find it. Breakfast was very good too. They have a bookcase full of books if you have time to read.

Sadly, kitchen closed at 2pm so we couldn’t lunch there, but there were other restaurants in town. We did have dinner there and it was very good. The Wifi wasn’t great but that didn’t really affect us very much.

The location of the Ship Inn is as central as can be and the staff were absolutely great! They definitely made me feel welcome and nobody seemed to be "just working here". Breakfast was delicious and made to order for each guest - so fresh-off-the-pan bacon and eggs, full English, continental - whatever you'd like! I also tried the pub menu for dinner once and that was great as well. The pub seemed to be popular with locals, which is always a good sign.

Ventilation in the room was slightly insufficient in the Summer heat, however a powerful fan was provided which did help. Also, being an old property (which definitely adds to its charm) there are steep and narrow stairs leading to the rooms; not an issue for myself but could be for someone with limited mobility.

This is an excellent place to stay - the staff were welcoming and the Full English Breakfast was the best I've had since forever. The restaurant offered superb food choices, although we were invited out to dinner with friends so missed out (hopefully next time we'll eat here in the evening). The room was bright and very roomy - much larger than I was expecting, in fact. The bed was cosy and comfortable and I slept really well, as did my wife. Special mentions to Ann and Sylvia for their exceptional customer service - they could not have been more helpful and friendly and made our stay a pleasure.

If I had to pick out a minor niggle, the car parking in the main car park adjacent to the inn itself was often busy, but we managed.

The staff, food, cleanliness cannot be faulted.

The fact that you can't use the hotel car park! Having to get to the public car park by 8am to pay is not what you want on a leisure break! We got a parking ticket the 2nd morning for having our front tyre over the line of the parking bay!

Second stay at the Ship Inn whilst moving in to the Fordinbridge area. Both times have been very good with easy check in, friendly staff and excellent food (we have also eaten here on occasional evenings). Room was very comfortable (we asked for and got the one overlooking the outside seating area / car park).. would stay here again and also would recommend to friends and family.

Staff were helpful and friendly and the full English breakfast was cooked to perfection with good quality thick cut bacon.

Public car parking was a bit of a nuisance, having to get to parking meter b4 8.00am so you don't get a parking ticket. Parking was free between 6.00pm and 8.00am. At least we could park very close to the pub entrance.

Full English breakfast was offered along with continental. Food was excellent and location was in the centre of town with lots of pay and display parking

It would have been nice if parking could have been included with the booking as you had to remember to pay at 8am each morning

Loved the breakfast it was plentiful and delicious. The price was very reasonable. The room, although a little tired, was clean with everything you needed. Tea, coffee towels, etc. This is not top quality accommodation, but neither was the price. I will definitely return in the future.

The only criticism I have is that the bed was very hard.

Staff were really friendly and helpful, willing to accommodate requests. They were happy to have our friend join for breakfast who was not staying in the hotel

Can't really fault anything but if there was an improvement would probably say the room decor is a bit outdated
