Small but beautifully fitted out room with high quality furniture, fabulous bathroom. Lovely to stay in a place with character that doesn’t look like a travelodge. Good value. Good in room snacks, lovely breakfast cooked beautifully. Lovely big bath! Alternative shower head with better flow would have been nice (it was a v large diffuse spray) and TV wall stand had the TV at a slight angle and needed replacement. But these were minor glitches. Friendly and hospitable host. Free on street parking nearby as we stayed before 1st May. Highly recommended!

Had an amazing stay at Ship in Dock Inn. The owner had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and special. Lots of little extra details that you don't get in most places. The breakfast was just perfect and service prompt and friendly. We're so glad we chose it and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a comfortable B&B that's in a wonderful location!

This place is a gem! The staff are amazing, the bedroom and bathroom beautiful, the breakfast's really set you up for the day, and the locals who visit the pub in the late afternoon share stories and tips on walks to take, and places to eat. All round the most amazing place to stay in a town that is well worth a visit. Thank you Mike, Mel and Barbara

Our stay at the Ship in Dock Inn was absolutely perfect! The room was excellent, spotlessly clean, well-equipped with all the amenities, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location couldn’t be better, right in the heart of everything. The staff were amazing, extremely friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout our visit. The bed and pillows were wonderfully comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was exceptional, freshly prepared, and delicious. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, highly recommended!

A great little pub in the centre of Dartmouth

The room was beautifully arranged and maintained. The breakfast was excellent. The staff were all very friendly and did as much as they could to make our stay a good one. Only one down side - no lift. This pub is almost on the front, very easy to get round the town. It was a super stay. Free overnight parking is possible, immediately opposite the pub.

The room is in an old building in Dartmouth so expectations are that it will be on the smaller side. It was clean with excellent bathroom. Position of the property was fantastic for getting out and about. Staff that we met were friendly and accommodating. Loved every minute of our stay.

Quaint part of the town and great value

I of course had to pay for a double room - I'd left it late to book and still have an issue to resolve with Hotels.com who told me on the phone there was no reduction though the host thought there was, for single occupancy. If I were a couple, I'd say the value was outstanding, and it was pretty good anyway. Particularly good was the breakfast, and Kevin/Mel were wonderful about giving me exactly what I wanted in terms of more of one thing and less of another. Also very quiet, despite the small (bijou really) pub business they also run. Rather nice location and would have been ideal for me if the weather wasn't really bad the one day I wanted - I had come to Dartmouth for a cousin's granddaughter's wedding at Britannia Royal Naval College. The heat was on in the evening which I hadn't expected.

Excellent low cost accommodation.

Very handy location close to both the riverside and the town centre. The hotel provides a free parking permit for the adjacent public car park and this can also be used for some public car parks in nearby towns including Totnes, Kingsbridge and Salcombe.
Excellent cooked to order Breakfasts using good quality ingredients.

Quaint Historic Venue. By the River & Promenade.

Very clean, quirky venue. The hosts were excellent, and the location very good.
We had a very good experience here. The staff and locals were very friendly, the town has much to offer, with bespoke shopping and old world charm. Something for everyone.

We arrived during the England world cup game, after booking last thing. Despite all the fun of the game at the time, everybody was very friendly and professional, and we are not sports fans.
Excellent hosts.
We met tourists from all over the world, making an acquaintance from Sweden, Japan and Others.

Convenient for the town.

Booked this room to stay for the music festival. Being only about 3 minutes away from the main stage was great, and also had some good views across the park towards the ferry. It was also great to be able to park the car on the Friday and not have to drive again until leaving on the Monday.

It's Ok to stay one night. The entrance is through the bar downstairs so it's hard even to recognize where is a hotel. It's more like a few rooms in a building where you can stay. You can call it romantic for some points if you are a student or dating someone. There is no water mixing in the bathroom: 2 cranes one for cold and one for hot water. You have to wait some time to get the hot water. If you want to wash your face with a warm water it's impossible. Shower is mixed and works fine. Breakfast is Ok but the dining area (small room with 4-5 tables) is not quite clean. It's smaller than you see it on the picture.

We arrived around lunchtime on Sunday and met by Mel who said we could check in early and gave us a parking pass for the nearby town car park.

The room on the top floor was bright and clean with lovely view across the park to the river. Lots of character with curved wall on the window side meant a bit if a squeeze around the bed frame but being snall, that was no real problem for me. It was a cold wind that day and the room was a little chilly but we closed the curtains and turned up the radiator. Perhaps a blanket or extra duvet in the cupboard may be necessary for sime visitors in colder months. The storage was great with loads of hangers and the large bathroom was well equipped, really warm and loads of hot water. Kettle, good range of teas and coffee and hairdryer were all provided.

There was an extensive breakfast menu, lots of choices, and Kevin was happy to make adjustments for different requests. Also good coffee and orange juice.

We went out to get lunch and found the nearby George & Dragon which did a substantial Sunday carvery with 5 different vegetables and beautifully cooked beef or pork.

On returning home I found I had left my phone charger. Got in touch and Kevin offered to post it back to me. We had a good 2 night stay and would definitely stay again. Thanks Kevin and Mel.
