Just a basic inn with a bed to sleep in.

Just a basic inn with a bed to sleep in. Everything is extremely basic, which helps keep costs down — and I do appreciate that. However, cleanliness could definitely be improved. The banisters and tables were sticky, and the room had a musty smell. The television could have been made to work better. The one highlight was the well-cooked breakfast and the pleasant host, which was a nice touch.

Heart of Mevagissey

Great old Cornish inn in the heart of the village, just a few yards from the harbour. The food was excellent, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back.

Cosy Authentic Pub with Rooms - Great Food!

The Ship is a really interesting and authentic place to stay and provides excellent food, drink and service. The staff were really friendly and helpful, despite having struggled to keep the pub open as a result of recent spring tide flooding of the bar. The room was homely and comfortable, but a little maintenance would be good

I stayed on the evening at the start of festival week. It was loud as to be expected and it was great to be in the thick of the activities. Location is excellent and not far from the car park. Room was clean, although a little tired.

Food and service was good. Room to small could not move freely around room. Could do with a good clean and a lick of paint. Noise early in the morning from deliverys but to be expected in small villages.

Arrived at The Ship, had to fight our way in through the crowded pub. Free public parking advertised, but there is none had to pay for parking about 5 minutes walk away. It was very noisy, especially in the early morning, dustmen, bottle collecting and deliveries. Returned to pub first evening after a walk with a sign in the doorway saying “full, come back later” so went elsewhere to eat.
