The Olde Ship Inn

We had a lovely 2 night stay at the olde ship inn at Seahouses. Lovely town and beach. The inn was quirky and obviously very old with lots of sea faring memorabilia throughout the hotel. Great bar with real ales - a joy for my husband. Food in the restaurant was of a high standard albeit slightly ‘pub grub’ but we both enjoyed our meals. Breakfast was excellent. The downside was our room (12) had a glass panelled door into the bathroom. The light coming through into the bedroom was so bright at 4am that we were awake very early and struggled to get back to sleep. The second night we used a blanket which was stored in the closet to drape over the door which made a huge difference. It is worth noting that there is no on site parking, however there is a payable carpark 5 mins walk away. We paid for a full days ticket (around £10). Parking is free of charge from 6pm to 8am so we had to be there in the morning to renew for our second day.

Ye Olde Ship is ideally located in the heart of Seahouses. There is no parking (except for blue badge holders) at the pub but that is no problem as there is a large public car park within a few minutes walk. We paid £31.50 for 3 days parking as a block, and came and went as we pleased. The breakfast is comprehensive and the full English was ample and very generous. The general food menu is traditional pub fayre with other restaurant choices in Seahouses if you want something different. The varied choice of cask ales I also found particularly pleasant. There are 10 rooms across the first and second floor. It is a very old pub so the access is stairs only and the rooms are compact, but perfectly functional with all that we needed. Access to the jetty for the various boats that provide trips is only a short walk from Ye Olde Ship. There are boat trips for sunset cruises, to Holy Island and to Inner Farne. We did each of these cruises and saw fantastic bird life and sea life, as well as the islands fascinating history. We pre-booked 2 of the trips which was a wise choice as the weather was great and trips on the day sold out very quickly. We would certainly stay at Ye Olde Ship again.

Very comfortable stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed two nights first class. dining We look forward to returning in the future. The hotel is located in an excellent position for visiting all the fantastic locations nearby.

This is our second time staying here and won’t be our last. A quirky old nautical Inn in the perfect location to explore the area. Alnwick, Bamburgh, Craster, The Holy Island and Edinburgh are all in easy reach by car. Our room was clean and comfortable , the breakfast was really delicious . Staff all friendly and helpful

Delightful room at the end of the first corridor, which had a fabulous view of the end of the harbour and Inner Farne. Although positioned over the bar this did not affect our sleep, though on noisier nights it might be a bit louder from below...The four poster could have been a gimmick, but the hanging was perfectly clean and the mattress comfortably firm. Oldstyle dark furniture perfectly in keeping with the style of the Inn. Bathroom spotless, towels fluffy, and it had a bath (also a shower), which personally I prefer. A pleasure to sit in the bay window with a cuppa and watch the world go by, after some time in the characterful and cosy bar

My wife & I have just had 2 brilliant nights at The Old Ship. We were in room 2 which had a fantastic 4 poster bed and a lovely view of the harbour whilst sat in the bay window. If there was a minor issue the shower in the bath is not very “ elderly with deteriorating joints “ friendly. Both breakfast and evening meal were of the highest quality as were the staff in the dining room and bar.
