    The bedroom was snug but comfortable.

    A real gem of a property this is a very quaint building. The room we stayed in was well appointed with a large en-suite bathroom. The room was very comfortable and was well equipped with tea and coffee making with a good selection of drinks, there was also a well stocked mini bar. The bar area is small and quirky and the staff are very welcoming. Breakfast was excellent with lovely fresh fruit salad and a good English breakfast. We ate in the dining room one evening and the food was exceptional and very reasonably priced. I had the beer battered hake and it was the best fish I had during the stay.

    I couldn't complain about anything.

    The home cooked breakfast was excellent - they went out of their way to serve lovely honest food and they couldn't of been more helpful to accomodate your needs. It was a very characterful Inn close to all the amenities and restaurants of Dartmouth.

    There wasn't anything that we didn't like

    We thoroughly loved our 3 nights stay at the Ship in Dock Inn. Our room although small was very comfortable. There was a fully stocked bar fridge, tea and coffee making facilities. Great shower and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast had a number of choices. We loved the fresh fruit and yoghurt to start with. We had a great dinner in the restaurant also which was very tasty. I particularly loved the fish and chips! My husband had the chicken tikka and thoroughly enjoyed it. Jude, Peter and the team were very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make our stay a great one. We thoroughly recommend this establishment! Just a few minutes walk into the heart of Dartmouth.

    The rooms are above a lovely character pub but it didn't stay open for full normal hours. Would have been nice to relax there a bit longer after a day out. Not a major issue though, and didn't taint the stay.

    Great location, staff and breakfast. Comfortable room with great view. parking nearby was pretty good, considering how busy Dartmouth can be.

    Parking was a bit of a mission. No longer supplying a free parking pass due to cost. Totally understandable. If you cannot park in the main public car park then you have to move your car every 2 hours up to 6pm. This didn't spoil our visit.

    Everything, Mel our breakfast lady was exceptional. Always smiling and nothing was too much trouble. Their sign was absolutely true 'A little pub with a big welcome'.

    Noise from febeeator outside in park was constant. Not something the place could alter. Not preventing sleep but an irritant.

    Attention to detail was noticeable. Lots of little touches like electric toothbrush charger on bathroom wall!

    We stayed for two days and loved the cozy interior design, cleanliness, and spaciousness of the room. The facilities were complete, including a hairdryer, coffee make, refrigerator, bath... The host was incredibly helpful, and the downstairs bar offered a great selection of drinks. The breakfast was excellent, and the location was convenient with many nearby shops and a beautiful harbor view. It was great value for money, and we would definitely recommend this accommodation to friends. Overall, it was an impeccable stay.

    Nothing at all.

    The Ship in Dock Inn is an absolute gem, Jude and the team do everything they can to ensure your stay is memorable, the inn is quirky & full of character, with lots of characters, it’s decorated to a high standard in a maritime theme, spotlessly clean, wonderful views of the river, can’t imagine there’s a better breakfast in Dartmouth. Corporate its not, friendly & welcoming it most certainly is!!
