I pulled the ceiling to floor blind over the balcony door that night but in the morning I discovered there was no way to roll it back up again so morning view of the harbour was obscured by the blind. Pity as view was a real feature of the room. It was advertised as a super king bed but was in fact two single beds pushed together. Toilet seat was loose and broken and the shower was the smallest one I have ever been in , smaller I imagine that those found in camper vans. Sounds like I am whingeing but I am not, as I said the place was very tired and needs a lot of attention. Breakfast was good but until the old ship aground undergoes refurbishment we won't be booking there again. ##### Maggie Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### anthony Apr 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel welcome and service for whole time we were there was excellent.

Check-in disorganised, had to wait around 10 mins for someone who knew what they were doing to check us in. Returning at about 22:50 after going out for a meal we we were confronted with a number of staff at the bar having a drink. When we enquired about having a nightcap we were told the bar was closed - even to residents! Manager seemed very disinterested in responding to our queries. We have been staying at the Old Ship for many years and this is a very different attitude to the normally friendly and helpful team. Change of ownership has impacted very negatively. There were exceptions - the staff still on board from previous owners did go out of their way to help - Dan was particularly impressive - nothing was too much trouble and he went the extra mile to ensure we had the best breakfast experience! Hopefully things will improve s the new management get their feet under the table - we hope so as this has been a regular go-to venue for us but we will go elsewhere if things do not improve. ##### Steve Stayed 1 night in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Elizabeth Oct 1, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very friendly staff, the hotel is going through a period of refurbishment. Our room was clean and comfortable, the shower was a bit erratic and the television was far too small in such a big room. Breakfasts were excellent but evening meal menus were disappointing. There was a great welcome for our two cocker spaniels. This hotel deserves a makeover, it is in a wonderful position on the harbour at Minehead. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles Sep 25, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely spot in Somerset Old Ship Aground was a lovely place for a two-night break, despite the hotel being swathed in scaffolding. The staff were lovely too. ##### Charles Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trevor Sep 22, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Brilliant Short Break Lovely experience, great room with comfy beds and a greatevening g meal. Staff were excellent. Would definitely go again! ##### Trevor Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Graham Sep 16, 2021 Lovely location - ppty having makeover externally. Probably needs an internal one soon. ##### Graham Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah Sep 15, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities The property has some very strange "covid rules". Like they now check-in at 5pm and no longer supply toiletries in the bathroom. But having said that, they let us check in at 3pm as we arriving from walking and had nowhere else to go; and similarly found some shampoo when I asked as we were not carrying any (hiking). The breakfast was good (but no buffet, only a menu at the table) but we did not eat anything else. It all looked good though. Staff were friendly. The room was very basic but perfectly acceptable. There was scaffolding up around the place so our view was mostly blocked and it was noisy if the window was open with some kind of machinery downstairs. Bed was only a double but comfy; good bathroom. Rather overpriced for the room but I think that's the whole of the UK these days. ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Patricia Sep 14, 2021 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were fantastic, all were friendly, helpful & polite. Accommodation was a let down, our room was very tired & dusty. Mismatched furniture. Hospitality tray was good but we had to ask for a top up as there was no housekeeping due to Covid. Bed was comfy, linen & towels were spotless. Some traffic noise in the mornings but to be expected. Breakfast was good ##### Patricia Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Graham Sep 13, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Always made welcome by the team. Had a lovely stay. ##### Graham Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Adrian, London Sep 17, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities A hotel of two halves. Great staff with an excellent attitude, good food and a nice location on the quay but both the public areas and the rooms need restyling and upgrading. A slightly odd Covid policy means tiny bars of soap but no shampoo or shower gel in rooms. ##### Adrian Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil Jul 12, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfection Very comfortable room, staff were excellent, location excellent and very reasonably priced. The food was also very good. I would certainly recommend to anyone. ##### Neil Stayed 1 night in Jul 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Low-Wood-Bay.h5243.Hotel-Information) > > [White Hart Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Martock-Hotels-White-Hart-Hotel.h2113415.Hotel-Information) > > [High Force Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Barnard-Castle-Hotels-High-Force-Hotel.h77973146.Hotel-Information) > > [Manchester Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Manchester-Central.h39351731.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswold House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Chipping-Campden-Hotels-Cotswold-House-Hotel-Spa.h7847572.Hotel-Information) > > [The Black Bull Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kirkby-Stephen-Hotels-The-Black-Bull-Hotel.h5559919.Hotel-Information) > > [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/High-Wycombe-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32463857.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO The Billingford Horseshoes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-The-Billingford-Horseshoes.h11899343.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Hart Royal Hotel, Moreton-in-Marsh](https://www.expedia.ca/Moreton-In-Marsh-Hotels-White-Hart-Royal-Hotel.h3848404.Hotel-Information) > > [Gallery Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Plymouth-Hotels-Gallery-Guesthouse.h7059081.Hotel-Information) > > [The Gin Trap Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hunstanton-Hotels-The-Gin-Trap-Inn.h23779464.Hotel-Information) > > [The George](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h45140643.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sorrel Horse Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Ipswich-Hotels-The-Sorrel-Horse-Inn.h21089391.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [Maison Claire](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Hotels-Maison-Claire.h2250858.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel St Ives](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Ives-Hotels-St-Ives-Harbour-Hotel.h175599.Hotel-Information) > > [Tottington Manor](https://www.expedia.ca/Henfield-Hotels-Tottington-Manor.h33668731.Hotel-Information) > > [The Atherstone Red Lion Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Atherstone-Hotels-The-Atherstone-Red-Lion-Hotel.h11541319.Hotel-Information) > > [YotelAIR London Gatwick ](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Yotel-Air-London-Gatwick.h18969729.Hotel-Information) > > [Park City Suites Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-City.h42464558.Hotel-Information) > > [Tides Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Pevensey-Hotels-Tides-Cottage.h42241061.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coach And Horses Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Penzance-Hotels-The-Coach-And-Horses-Inn.h21420866.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [The Old Bakery Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kenilworth-Hotels-The-Old-Bakery-Hotel.h44087031.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunday Box Hill Burford Bridge Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dorking-Hotels-Sunday-Hotels-Box-Hill.h861138.Hotel-Information) > > [Come & Unwind in Charming 5 Bed House in Blackburn](https://www.expedia.ca/Blackburn-Hotels-Charming-4-Bed-House-In-Blackburn.h99397481.Hotel-Information)
