Turned up to be told the manager was out and wouldn’t be back for half an hour at least, so we couldn’t check in.
So had to sit and wait (we were supposed to be getting ready for a wedding).
Manager treated us as though we were some sort of nuisance wanting to check in. So after nearly 45 min she arrived and asked for a £200 deposit… this wasn’t mentioned anywhere on the listing.

The rooms were dirty (walls, floors and bedding), the tiled floors with missing grout in our bathroom were cracked and unsafe. They are also incredibly uneven.
The shower was grim, the head was broken and hadn’t been cleaned, the shower also soaked the floor as soon as you used it when coupled with the broken ungrouted, wobbly tiles, this posed a serious issue.

The bed is incredibly low, this is important if you have any health issues or like us had elderly parents in the other room we booked.
We had to go and help our parents up twice during the night as the beds height rendered them unable to get up independently.

The room was also 29 degrees when we checked in, and the windows wouldn’t stay open. At 3am the room was still 28 degrees and the fan provided didn’t work properly.

For the price, I would have been better off sleeping in my car. It would have been more comfortable, and undoubtably cleaner.

Honestly the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in.
Avoid at all costs.

FORMAL COMPLAINT – THE SHIP INN, BURNHAM-ON-CROUCH
I am writing to express my extreme disappointment and frustration regarding our recent booking at The Ship Inn, Burnham-on-Crouch.
We had booked and paid in fullfor a room including breakfast , Prior to our stay, we informed the hotel that we were attending a wedding approximately three miles away and requested an earlier check-in. This request was refused.
Our intention was to return to the hotel before 10:00pm; however, due to the exceptionally poor taxi service in the Burnham-on-Crouch area, obtaining transport proved extremely difficult and beyond our control.
At approximately 9:30pm, we received a message through Hotels.com advising that we needed to arrive by 10:00pm or we would not be able to gain access to the hotel. This left us with only 30 minutes’ notice despite the hotel already being aware of our circumstances. We immediately attempted to contact the hotel multiple times to explain the situation and make alternative arrangements, our calls went unanswered.
When we eventually arrived shortly after 10:00pm, we found the entire premises closed. The lights were off, the doors were locked, and there was absolutely no means of contacting a member of staff or gaining access to the room we had already paid for. We were effectively abandoned without accommodation.
As a result, we was denied access to our room, received no breakfast, and lost the entire value of our booking. unacceptable
Not even a phone call or refund

Our stay at the ship inn was lovely. The room was spacious and modern, the bed was really comfortable, the bathroom and walk in shower were delightful. We didn’t have the breakfast as we had other plans with friends. This is a help yourself continental style breakfast, which looked quite basic but perfectly adequate.

The staff onsite were very friendly and accommodating. The only thing we found could be improved is the communication beforehand. I had a query and so messaged via Expedia, I also phoned and left a message on their answerphone with my number for them to contact me back. I also emailed them directly. Unfortunately none of my messages were returned, which I did find disappointing and resulted in me feeling a bit anxious about what we may face when we arrived. As mentioned, everything else was all good and we would stay again

Detailed information about how to get to the car park would also be helpful as it is at the back of the property down a one way street, which we found by accident.

Stayed in the William King Room - Spacious room and bathroom which was clean and offered tea, coffee, water and various other things. Plenty of clean towels, robes, slippers. We ate in the restaurant which was delicious. Staff really helpful and polite. Breakfast was fine, toast, pastries, cereal, tea coffee and juice. Free parking. Only negative was the bed. It was really comfy but far too low to the floor, the mattress was practically on the floor. It was awful and would be the reason I would not book again. Other than that it was a lovely place in a lovely market town.

The staff were engaging and tried their best. One of the reasons for us choosing the hotel was the photos that showed a Nespresso machine in the rooms, as we like decent coffee. This is not true. The staff know nothing about this and they provide some coffee bags (which was not good). The mattress needs replacing and the bed is so low.

There's lots to like about The Ship Inn. Great location, characterful rooms, friendly staff, great bar and restaurant food. There's clearly a concern for good ingredients for the bar/restaurant food. So why not for guests who are staying overnight? The local bread served in the bar is fabulous - so why serve cardboard bread for breakfast along with cheap, sugary yoghurt and cereals. Weak coffee from coffee bags? We stayed 2 nights and didn't bother stopping for breakfast on the second day.

The heating didn’t work for two nights. Was freezing. The TV’s didn’t work. I’m 60 and 6 foot 2 the first room I was given had a sunken bed and a 4ft height to enter.
After Walking up from a funeral I stopped at the bar to get a drink to warm myself. I was snapped at are you having breakfast? Not would you like a drink. The fire alarm went off and I was asked to go check if my room was on fire. I have never stayed anywhere SO unwelcoming

Staff were really friendly and helpful (helped find a taxi). Food in the bar was excellent, and the main menu looked great (we will try next time).

Such wholesome lovely pub with rooms. Will return!

Fantastic selection of pint on offer. The stout was class. Amazing they had a 3 course vegan menu (couple of options on each course) and the food was super lovely. Nice wholesome pub food but of a higher calibre that you could expect in a restaurant. Delicious. The staff were so attentive. I wish I could remember the person name who checked me in and served (red hair and glasses, so to describe your appearance, but you deserve credit 😁) this person knows how to run a bar/restaurant and is clearly super capable. They even went out to go get me oat milk for morning. Top service!

The breakfast was a buffet type continental, with yoghurt, fruit, grapefruit, toast, croissants and orange juice and cereals at tables laid in the restaurant.

Lovely hotel , terrible breakfast

Very nice rooms , very spacious , comfortable. Staff were lovely and helpful BUT the bed is a few inches off the floor which is modern and oriental looking but difficult for me because I was carrying a leg injury . Breakfast was terrible . For a hotel that prides itself on its food , (and the dinner we had was excellent) if you’re going to limit guests to a continental breakfast , you have to offer more than Kellogg variety packs, a few slices of processed bread , single flavour cheap yoghurts, croissants that were like cardboard and lukewarm coffee.

Good

The room satisfied our overnight needs. Unfortunately had we known about the steps leading down to the bedroom, then back up to the bathroom, we would have booked a different room. We had to have a light on so we could see when we got up in the night. Due to the age of the property, there were wooden beams which were low. The one over the window is really low, and my husband bent down to put his shoes on, only to stand up and bang his head, very hard. I thought he was going to pass out. I had to drive home as a precaution. Our friends room’s window was higher. If we returned, which is a possibility, we would request a different room. Ear plugs were supplied for the noise from the clock tower.

Room was nice with everything you need, thought we would have Sunday lunch when we arrived but we were told it would be busy at 7 so we went straight in. Food was OK but nothing special, soup had a skin on it and 2 pieces of bread which were very dry, whilst we were eating the staff were moving the chairs and tables around behind us but dragging them so it was noisy and not raxing, Lol. Also at breakfast the cleaner was hoovering whilst we ate so again noisy. It's a lovely place but just needs a bit more fitness in the bar/restaurant.

The stay was comfortable and quiet. The only problem we had was we were not given a key fob and was given a code to open the door when they were not open. The numbers given did not work and therefore we were locked out at 2100 hours in the pouring rain for several minutes and only gained access when another guest arrived who had been supplied a fob. This should not have happened and was a bad slip by management.

Always a pleasure to stay. Good excellent & a special mention to the lady who seemed to do everything-checked us in, showed us to our room, served dinner. She was brilliant!

Wedding in Southminster

Spacious, comfortable room. We stayed in the petticrows room. Very quiet (apart from clock chimes)
Friendly service, breakfast was delivered from a local cafe, arrived hot and was lovely.
Would definitely stay here again

After a 5 hour drive to get to the hotel we were greeted with the news that they were going to shut at 7.30pm on the day of our arrival due to the football. We had booked a meal for ourselves and friends from the area at 6pm but were told we needed to change to an earlier time then had to leave as they weren’t going to be open ! No prior notice was given and we were looking forward to an hour or so chill and freshen up before our meal.. obviously this couldn’t happen as there was no time.
We had to fill out a pre order form for breakfast as the hotel were getting this delivered from a cafe up the road.. we arrived in the restaurant 5 mins before breakfast was due to be served.. 20 mins later still no sign of it so we then had to walk up the street to find said cafe and order it there .. it was lovely food at the cafe - but all a bit farcical..
Room was clean & ok, bed was very low to the ground and the clock over the road strikes every 15 mins and chimes the hours.. so you need to use the supplied ear plugs. Staff were very friendly but whoever the manager is needs to prioritise the customers needs, had we known before we arrived they intended to close early we would have booked somewhere else.

The room was great. I was really suprised to get both bath and shower and room was much larger than I would have expected. I loved the touch of bathrobes and slippers.

Two night stay in a lovely pub

All in all a very pleasant weekend stay. Room was beautifully decorated with a fully equipped fridge. All staff members were very helpful and friendly. The only disappointment was the breakfast. It wasn’t supplied by the hotel but bought in by nearby café. I went for the full english on the first morning. Unfortunately luke warm fried egg and trimmings were served in a cardboard box with soggy toast. I decided to try the porridge on the second day but it was in a disposable pot and was basically tepid milk and inedible. It’s a shame because everything else was lovely. I would definitely recommend this hotel but I would pop in the nearby café and have your breakfast served hot and on a plate.

The only downside for us was the fact the bed was too low, making it difficult to get in and out of the bed
