Stayed for one night during cycle tour. Friendly welcome and safe storage for my bicycle. Nice bar, eating area, good food, beer. Breakfast very good. Downside was room very small and very close to a busy, noisy road. Could do with double glazing...

Nice place to stay for the price, recommended!
Nice place, friendly staff. Had to mind my head, being 6ft 4, and the ceilings...weren't! Room was small, but functional, and very clean and tidy. Overall a nice place for the cost.

We enjoyed one night's stay at the Ship Inn. The food was excellent and the staff friendly and helpful. Our room was rather small but we could have opted for other rooms with more space which, in retrospect, would have been a good idea.

The 3 night stay was comfortable and we were made very welcome. The owners have only been in for 3 months and have a lot of plans to improve the listed property as soon as the season comes to an end. They are enthusiastic and deserve support to make this enterprise a success.

Lovely little pub hotel, cute rooms and the nice side door to reach the rooms so you don’t have to walk through the pub. Breakfast was lovely, free parking for guests, All in all a really lovely stay, we will definitely stay again.

Nice place to stay in the middle of New Romney. Stayed last year and pleased to see the owners have updated many of the rooms. On the day of arrival the WiFi was poor, but with a newly fitted system overnight the new set up was excellent. Breakfast was really good and will definitely stay again.

Lovely stay
Really lovely pub with a very nice room, there was a function on in the pub so the kitchen was shut which was a shame. Lovely breakfast, would highly recommend.

Short break
We had a 3 night stay for a short break. We had Room 4 which was small and on the A259 so there was traffic noise. If we stayed again, we would ask for a rear bedroom. Also we felt a good mirror above the hand basin in the small en suite was needed. The bed was comfortable, the staff were helpful and friendly and the food was good. The bar area was nice with a few separate areas to sit plus a courtyard area. The hotel was also nicely located if you wanted to take a stroll and eat out. Our main gripe was the hoovering and floor washing while we were having breakfast on the first morning. The second morning was fine but on the last day it seemed a bit unprofessional with staff chatting, playing with a member of staff's toddler and dog just outside the dining area.

Good Hotel
It was a lovely hotel. The staff were very attentive and helpful, particularly the gentleman who served breakfast. He made sure we were given what we asked for. The building is very old, with narrow stairs, so might not suit someone with more limited mobility. Also, I don't think there was free wi-fi, contrary to what it said on the booking. However, I would definitely stay there again.

The room was tiny. 1/6th of floor space taken up with an enormous built in wardrobe. Because of the slope of the roof, I couldn’t stand up to go to the toilet, for the same reason the shower was impossible to use and it wasn’t possible to sit up in the bed. The bedroom overlooks a busy road. I guess the room price reflects some of this.

It started so well, check in was very easy, very friendly. I was asked when i wanted breakfast so I asked for 7am as i had business in Croydon to attend to first thing. I went down for 7am but the restaurant was closed!! And was not manned till 7:20. the person manning breakfast had a list and the first breakfast was 7:30 Communication by that one individual was very dissapointing
