Friendly staff, great breakfasts

Staff were very helpful and friendly, Breakfast was very nice and a great friendly service. I was in a single room. Which was clean but a bit tatty.

The most amazing staff we have ever encountered.

The bedroom was a beautiful room but a bit tired but it seems the rooms are being updated,the en suite had been already.What makes The Old Ship Aground stand out head and shoulders are the staff,every single member of staff was delightful,they were happy and took an interest in each guest,never experienced it anywhere before. We will definitely be returning soon,amazing situation by the harbour,like a little village on its own although Minehead is only a 10 minute walk. The food was great,their steak was incredible.

Property is in a great location. Room was large and clean although the shower room was somewhat small. In need of refurbishment and a lick of paint. Overall pretty good.

Første besøg her!

Personalet meget venlige og hjælpsomme. Indgangspartiet og barområdet ret nedslidt. Værelset fint og rent. Maden OK. Beliggenheden fin for udflugter i området.

it was a little tired

Room was good, overlooking the harbour with a balcony which was a nice surprise as it wasn't mentioned. 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.

Hotel welcome and service for whole time we were there was excellent. Food first class and good value. Bedroom with balcony and sea views delightful. Managed to park in front of hotel after short wait and it was free. However,there were only a few spaces and if not available parking in thye road or adjacent car park was expensive.
