Clean and tidy. Coffee-making facilities. Very near town centre. On seafront. Around 20 minutes from Eurotunnel.
Nothing negative to say about the property. Be careful where you park. If you arrive after 8 p.m., it can be difficult to find anywhere to eat in town, unless you like curry!
4.3
A place with character and characters too.

Läget och maten på puben var alldeles perfekt.
Trevlig promenad ut till fyren.
Bilen kunde parkeras alldeles utanför- om man åkte senast 09.00 på morgonen.
Frukost i huset bredvid, men inget problem. Sängarna var inte de allra skönaste…

Right near the harbour. Over a lovely pub with live music
The bed probably had better days. Might need replacing but didn’t affect stay

Location to get the channel tunnel was perfect, yea & coffee facilities and even a croissant each for the morning.
Staff friendly
Found the bed a bit uncomfortable, felt like maybe some slats had broke.
4.3
Location excellent with amazing views. Nice and clean. Great pub downstairs to enjoy.
Noisy from quite early in the morning with doors being shut loudly. But it didn't detract from an enjoyable stay.
4.3
Breakfast was not included. Friendly staff though.
Should have been told about the scaffolding outside the bedroom window. Also, the heat was full on since the last occupant had broken the radiator fitting. Should have been fixed. Also should be told at the time of booking about a live music night which is not good for sleeping especially after an international flight!

Leuke typisch Engelse pub aan de haven met op zondag life muziek. Druk en gezellig. Prima appartement met goede bedden. Op een kwartier rijden van Dover.
Wij konden daar niet eten, vermoedelijk vanwege de drukte en life muziek (?). Er zijn wel gelegenheden in de omgeving. Hetzelfde geldt voor het ontbijt.

Lovely and clean great location friendly staff
4.3
Super clean, very friendly and welcoming staff and the pub was super cosy. The little touches such as water, coffee and breakfast snacks in the room is a nice touch and the quality of linen, soft furnishings and towels were of hotel standards, exceeded expectations!
The mattress needs replaced, a tad springy with minimal padding, resulting in a sore back the next day 🙁

Trs bon accueil
C'était un vendredi soir et il y avait un groupe.
Une belle surprise pour finir notre sejour
4.3
Service et personnel impeccable. Propreté de la chambre et gentillesse de l hôtesse.
Petit déjeuner possible et très bon, au restaurant à côté.
Nous apprecions beaucoup.
Mais a eviter si vous n appréciez pas l ambiance et le bruit d un pub ayant de la live music le vendredi et le samedi soir.

Was very clean and accommodating. Owner was amazing and very friendly. Had issues with hot water and heating first night, but were given heater and lovely free dinner. Big thank you for making our weekend away😊❤
Beautiful view from outside the window. Had nice walk down the harbor.
Not the first time in Folkestone not the last.
We loved live music on Saturday night. Had good fun 😊
A bit noisy in the mornings, but understandable as our room was above pub 😂

Locaties is prima.
Er was geen ontbijt.

The food is very tasty .
The bed was very uncomfortable and making noises , it was very clean and dirty . I really believe they need to change the mattress to make the bed more comfortable , also it is above a pub , and the windows are not sound proof lot of noise coming from the pub. The staff are very kind and polite .
4.3
Great location and lovely staff.
Car park down the road but only a few minutes walk
4.3
The location was great.
No meals are included but bar meals were very good.
There is not much not to like, but there was no air conditioning in the pub or rooms, and although you can open the window I think that you would swelter on hot days.
The kitchen is on the same floor as the bedrooms and there were cooking smells floating around, but they were not too bad.
4.3
We love how comfortable the room is, added with the table that we can use to sit and look out at the harbour. Good value for money and will be back again
There was nothing we didn't like

We loved the room, which was super clean and comfortable and had a lovely view over the harbour. Fiona looked after us wonderfully and we enjoyed the live band in the evening.
Nothing! Everything was perfect!
4.3
Absolutely everything, the host is really friendly and very helpful, the position of the Ship Inn is perfect for all amenities a short walk to everywhere and right on the harbour. Can’t say enough apart from looking forward to booking again next year!!
Nothing, everything was perfect!!

No breakfast
Pub below. A little lioud
4.3
I received such a warm welcome from staff on arrival. Room was very clean. Evening food was delicious and, while they could not offer breakfast, staff went out of their way to recommend a nearby business who could. A very pleasant stay.
4.3
Plain and simple but fully sufficient.
4.3
Excellent food and really close to the port, with the window closed you can barely hear the pub below
Sounded like a washing machine going off at 3am above my bed
4.3
Great view of the waterside activity outside our third-story room.
Quite a few steep steps to get to the room, and access is through the back of the building. No way to refrigerate food or drink.
4.3
Great location. Nice room, nice little extras like bottle of water. Very clean.
Bed was so hard and noise most of night, not sure where it came from.
