Bedroom was larger than expected as was the bathroom both bedroom and bathroom very clean and tidy. Tea making facilities were good with a wide range of different teas unlike some places we have stayed in there was plenty of milk and coffee. Breakfast was good with a choice of full English or continental, we had full English and it was all prepared fresh for us. Fresh orange juice was available each morning on our table. Staff very friendly and helpful.

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.

Warm welcome, Jason carried my suitcase up the stairs, food was very nice and plentiful, staff were very friendly, the room was large so plenty of space. Nice comfy beds, bath with shower, who doesn't like a bath?

We had trouble with the lock on our door, but it was sorted out . The lack of car parking for guests, we had to pay in the normal car park, I believe the pub took out parking spaces to make the garden bigger.

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.

My initial impressions were the pub was a little tired and full of locals but my room was great and everyone was very friendly! The food was delicious and my room had everything I needed to enjoy my stay at a very central location in the town. Good value for money at todays prices.

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.

Breakfast was great. A good choice offered to us, with flexible options.

Lighting in bathroom very poor so couldn't see to do make-up. Mirror in bedroom difficult to get to (above mantelpiece at side of bed) and dressing table mirror too low. Oat milk at breakfast a bit curled.
