The ambience, the vibe. the location overlooking the harbour is lovely. It wasn't overly noisy or busy despite the location, however schools aren't out yet so possibly would get a lot busier. The bed was large and comfy, the room a great size. Nice tea making facilities.

The dark room (painted navy blue) despite the tall windows, the lack of air-conditioning, it was SO hot this weekend. Room wasn't cleaned during our 4 night stay but we did reject cleaning once as we were in, but lack of towel change was strange. Plug sockets weren't in a good place eg no plugs by the bed. Bathroom could do with an update and shower pressure was lacking. And the wardrobe wasn't long enough for dresses so I'm assuming it was a child's wardrobe...why?!

Fantastic views. Two chair balcony The staff are really friendly knowledgeable and try hard to be helpful. Excellent breakfast. Large room very clean good quality linen, nice bathroom and bedroom well presented. Excellent value.

Room 8 blinds only go 2 thirds of the way down leaving the outside led lights beam into the room and onto bed. Can be noisy outside as there are no curtains to blank out the noise and light . Only one bedside light with switch behind headboard. Hotel entrance / exit not as welcoming compared to the well decorated rooms. Little signage as where to go on arrival.

Room was very basic but clean, cotton sheets on a very comfortable bed. The rooms were upstairs from a most excellent pub, right on the harbour side. Breakfast was delicious, all three hot choices well cooked and tasty with the usual selection of cereals etc although the fruit juices were too sweet for my taste. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great value as long as you don’t mind a very basic bedroom.

The en suite shower room to my bedroom was really cramped, I could not even bend down in the shower to wash my feet. The upstairs corridors were a bit un-salubrious as was the bedroom, albeit perfectly clean.

The arrival welcome and directions to our room was friendly and good. The room and en-suite shower room was clean. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. There was tea, coffee & biscuits provided and a large TV. The room looked over the RNLI Lifeboat Station and was quiet. The rooms are refreshed by staff every day. The breakfast choice was very good, we had the cooked breakfast option which was delicious.

If you choose to stay in a friendly and popular pub which is located centrally by Minehead Harbour then this is for you. Difficult to find anything we did not like, may be the carpets and decor are a bit dated and tired, but it is an old property with character and visitors should accept this.

The old ship aground is a lovely traditional sea side pub. The drinks are very reasonably priced. The food we had was excellent, as was the breakfast the next morning. Our room was comfortable and clean,with an unexpected bonus of a balcony overlooking the bay. We had the best night in the bar, friendly staff and the locals took us into their group and made us welcome, big thankyou to James, Ian, and ladies. Sorry, your names escape me. There was entertainment by a fantastic singer Sam, who played his heart out and involved us all in his performance. I would highly recommend this pub/ hotel, you won't regret a stay.

There was nothing to dislike to be fare.

When I arrived, after a busy week at Spring Harvest at Butlins, I was a little unsure if I had the right hotel as I could not remember my booking and did not have my booking reference to hand. However, booking in was easy and the person showing me to my room, very pleasant. I had a drink there on Friday evening and again, the staff were very pleasant. Breakfast the following morning was very nice and yet again, the waitress, pleasant

Although the room was quite large and airy, I had difficulty with the shower and could not get it very hot, no matter which way I turned the dial

Very good location, near walking trails and the town centre. Good looking hotel with nice bar and restaurant (reserve dinner on arrival, it's popular). The room was clean (the most important thing,for me) and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was included, and it was just what I needed (never had to buy lunch). Also, a surprisingly good shower.

No air conditioning (but didn't expect it at this price point), TV placed far too high (but I wouldn't have watched it anyway). No view to speak of, but other rooms did.

The staff were very friendly & helpful, the breakfast was delicious & filling. The bay beside the hotel is a very nice relaxing place to sit, especially first thing in the morning. But despite the room being a little worse for wear, I'd still recommend.

The room was comfortable & functional, how ever the room was a little tatty, wall paper peeling in paces, bedside lamp had a loose stand & there was a nosy air conditioning unit right below my window. In the bathroom someone had put brown tape on the wall obviously to cover up a hole.

Everything from the booking in to the breakfast and the dinner, and the room we stayed in was fantastic, we'd been planning this trip for a few years as we fell in love with Minehead when we first visited it years ago and have been wanting to stay in the Old Ship Aground for years, and believe me it did not disappoint. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to travel to Minehead and does not fancy staying at Butlins

Nothing, was fantastic and cannot fault it in anyway

Breakfast excellent and wide choice Beds comfortable Tea/coffee available in room and fresh milk on request.

Would have been good to have a comfortable chair in the room instead of one hard stool. Bathroom on the small side but adequate for short stay Having booked for Sunday lunch was disappointed to be put in far front corner of bar and expected to carry lunch thru. Should have been asked if booking was for carvery, however, a table was found for us and lunch excellent. Our room was above the kitchen and the radio was far too loud from the kitchen going on till 9.45 most evenings. If guests staying for more than one night and wishing to eat in pub, then menu choice, for us at least, was poor.
