Its proximity to local amenities and the beach adds to its appeal, although some guests noted areas for improvement in cleanliness and maintenance.

Guests have expressed concerns about cleanliness, mentioning the need for a deeper clean and attention to details. Some found the property to be tidy, but others reported issues such as dirty dishes and furniture.

The location is highly praised for its convenience, being close to shops, pubs, the beach, and local attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.

The property is generally considered comfortable, with ample space and good bedding. However, some guests mentioned hard mattresses and the need for better quality bed linen and towels.

The facilities are appreciated for catering to large groups, with sufficient bathrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. Entertainment options like pool and football tables are a hit. Maintenance issues, such as broken furniture and appliance concerns, have been noted.

Set over 3 floors, The Ship Inn has been designed with clever finishing touches to create a feeling of warmth and intimacy, and the stylish modern furniture allows you to relax and socialise in comfort; ideal for a family celebration or for a group of friends to get together on the North Wales coast. There are a total of twelve bedrooms at this large Welsh cottage, ten of which have king-size beds, which can be converted into twin rooms on request, along with a ground floor twin with adjustable electric beds. The final bedroom is a very large dormitory room that sleeps twelve people with four quality bunk beds, suitable for adults, a 6ft zip/link bed and a further four trundle beds, making it a fantastic room for kids and teenagers! One of the bedrooms has en-suite facilities, plus there are a further six family bathrooms, one of which boasts a luxurious Jacuzzi bath.

    Needs a good clean , windows and curtains had mould on kettle not boiling properly it’s a great space just needs a spruce up

  • Julie

    The rooms and bathrooms were all clean and tidy. Only issue we had was the main oven was not working, I contacted Mark the owner and he tried to resolve over the phone however it wasn't that easy. He came over very promptly and whilst it couldn't be fixed completely we had a work around that saved the day. Overall a great weekend would highly recommend

    There were 3 generations of us and the property was perfect for us. The open plan living accommodation was very sociable and the bedrooms were spacious and very comfortable. It is in a good location, close to the beach and shops and the local Indian take away provided an excellent meal for all of us. Not all the bathrooms had bath mats and as we were only provided with 1 towel each it was a bit difficult. Also having a hand towel would be appreciated. The owner was very helpful in setting up the bedrooms as we requested and came to check that we were happy with everything. We are hoping to come again next year.
