The Ship Inn - Northumberland

Had the lovely experience of staying here for a night, the room and the pub itself are so so lovely!! Massive thank you to the staff, who were incredible and accommodating. The food was fantastic (highly recommend the fish and chips) and service was quick and amazing no matter how rushed off their feet they were! The room was lovely and a very high standard we absolutely loved our stay here and will be back!

Paul is an unbelievable host! From the moment we walked in to the moment we left he made us feel so welcome. He is a very knowledgeable man who is very kind and thoughtful. He went above and beyond ensuring we were feed and watered after a 8 mile walk. The food was amazing! We had the steak and ale pie. This is such a friendly place to have a drink or some food. Would highly recommend it.

The landlord is extremely grumpy and very unwelcoming!!!! He seems to enjoy an empty pub! Go to the Crown and Anchor instead.

Don't normally do reviews however our evening in the ship deserved a few nice words after reading a negative review posted at same time we were on island and probably same day. Fresh hot food all brought out at same time although very busy wasn't too long a wait. Gave me chance to try all 3 beers that were on tap. After the meal we sat in the bar(all couples on different tables . As dining had finished, paul the landlord was telling some stories of the island and as there was a French couple in asked if they would like a song request. Wish I knew name of song now as the French chap was over the moon to hear it. This got the whole bar talking to each other .Each couple got a turn for a song (all very different choices what a great night it turned out to be, a room full of strangers were brought together by the universal language of music and Paul's stories of the island. Will defo be heading back up there soon as we can as it made the trip to this island of beauty even more special. Well done paul and his hard working staff for making us all feel welcome . Tres bien!!

We went in for the crab sandwiches and a pint, was not disappointed, the sandwich was delicious. unfortunately we had a long wait at the bar for a while due to the volume of people using the pub and only the land lord serving. However I found the land lord was amazing how he kept the pub moving with clearing a table, letting people know where the tables were and when available and managing to serve drinks coffees and take orders for food. Once our order was in, it didn't take long to come. Yes I would definitely go again, it just needs another staff member to help the poor land lord out.
