Great stay
I go regularly and the stay is always great. The food is great, the only thing that wish is the breakfast starts earlier as they start at 7.30, so it can be a rush to eat and go, overall fantastic stay and will go again.

Pleasant stay. Friendly staff. Rooms have a sharp design and are well designed for the available space, but some things are well worn and in need of maintenance.

Couldn’t think of anything too much to fault about the property. Drinks a little pricy but we enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again. The breakfast was excellent and from what we see in the bar are that looked good as well. The property was clean and looked in good condition. The staff were excellent. This is our home town we grew up in so knew the area well.

Nice hotel in a good location
Nice, spacious & comfortable rooms and helpful, friendly staff. Corridors & windows could do with a bit of TLC but otherwise excellent. Restaurant is good - overlooks the marina. Very short walk to shopping complex, bars, restaurants and a cinema. This was my second stay, would be happy to return!

First impression of the hotel was that it was not the most welcoming of establishments, the reception is dark and the lift absolutely stank of fish, when the last time the carpet in it was cleaned is anybody's guess. Our room was directly above the entrance to the hotel/bar and was quite noisy with customers coming and going. However what makes it even worse is that there is a Co-Op next door and they have deliveries at all times of the night/early morning, so if you want a quiet nights sleep, bring some earplugs as we were woken by a refrigeration lorry being parked directly outside and unloaded with the refrigeration unit running flat out for 45mins. Although the Ship and Trades advertises as a hotel and charges as so, it is more of a pub with guest rooms, that are of a lesser standard than a Premier Inn. The bathroom had a shower over the bath, but the bath was extremely slippery even with the rubber bath mat, to the point of being dangerous, as the glass shower screen is too large for the bath and hinges inwards over the bath restricting access. Food in the restaurant was basic with the full breakfast being almost cremated, even though the restaurant was not busy at the time with only six guests. It is very difficult to denote who are staff and who are guests, as the staff have no uniform or name badges and most of them don't seem to know what they doing or have customer liaison skills, as not once were we asked was everything ok. Very disappointing.
