Cosy Authentic Pub with Rooms - Great Food!
The Ship is a really interesting and authentic place to stay and provides excellent food, drink and service. The staff were really friendly and helpful, despite having struggled to keep the pub open as a result of recent spring tide flooding of the bar. The room was homely and comfortable, but a little maintenance would be good

The Ship Inn is a delightful place to stay. Friendly, welcoming and full of character - just like Dianne! Who is lovely and cooks a delicious "Cornish Breakfast". Thank you for a great stay.

I stayed on the evening at the start of festival week. It was loud as to be expected and it was great to be in the thick of the activities. Location is excellent and not far from the car park. Room was clean, although a little tired.

Excellent stay all round. The Ship is located right in the centre of Mevagissey; best car park is less than 5 minutes walk away. Really friendly and efficient staff, good food and great rooms!

Room in the heart of Mevagissey

Bags of character
We were so excited to stay in The Ship Inn and it did not disappoint. Heaps of character and the hosts were a lovely friendly bunch. Breakfast was delicious and the pub is just a cracking place to spend an evening. We also ate our dinner in the Inn and the ham was absolutely superb. Would definitely recommend it.

Could have been better!!
Room ok, could have been cleaner ( blinds etc) didn't get cleaned the whole time we were there ( 3 days should have been 4) then asked to strip bedding and put in bin liners ourselves when we left!! Now we know the COVID situation is putting extra pressure upon these establishments but after staying in another B&B just a few weeks ago there was no comparison in establishments as the one a few weeks ago was cleaned everyday with new bedding and towels, think the owners are missing a trick here as the pub/restaurant was fine but don't seem to bothered about the B&B side of it!!

Great stay in the heart of a very touristy fishing port. Two nights stay is perfect. Good beer and food and lots of options around the port. Staff very friendly and helpful. We left our brand new phone and charger in the drawer by mistake when we checked out and they emailed us and sent it on courier service to our next address next day. Only problem with the place is no parking and we had to pay 20 quid in parking charges

The Ship is a very old property with lots of character. Low ceilings and floors that slope. Our room wasnt the biggest but it was ok for our short stay. The bed and bedding were very comfortable. The bathroom was also on the small side, the no lock on the door and a shower door which had come off its runner. The staff were all very friendly especially the lady who served breakfast.No complaints with a fine Cornish breakfast.

If we had to sum up in one word what made our stay so good it would be "Staff" not just front of house but kitchen staff too. The food was excellent and generous portions. Nothing was too much trouble for any one, all were happy to help and so friendly.

Mevagissey Autumn
Mevagissey is beautiful with great walking around and a good base for seeing most of Cornwall. The Ship Inn is positioned right in the centre. The Inn is what would you expect of an old inn and has plenty of atmosphere and the welcome was very friendly. Because it is so central Mevagissey may be noisy and the building's age means that access is not as easy as with a modern building and wifi was erratic. We anticipated these problems and had an enjoyable stay.

Nice inn in the centre of fishing village
The staff were very welcoming and friendly. They chatted about our plans for our visit and inquired how our days out had been. The food served was very tasty with good sized portions. We had evening meals and breakfast. The room was quiet with no noise from the bar. The bed was huge and very comfy. The inn was located a very short stroll from the busy harbour with several shops selling local gifts. I would recommend this place to anyone wishing to have a break in a lovely Cornish fishing village.
