We have stayed at the Old Ship Hotel for a week in Spring 11 times since year 2000. It is situated just off the quaint Harbour - which is just about perfect, there is ample parking for guests at the rear of the hotel which is a very important consideration when staying in Padstow. The owners and staff are all... More

Even though the facilities in this hotel were ok, we were not impressed( when we complained of not being able to sleep until after midnight because of loud noise and music coming from the outside pub in this hotel) by the manager who argued with us, made it seem like we were to blame for not knowing that Padstow is...

Stayed here for 4 nights and loved everyone. Staff went above and beyond for us and are all such caring and fun people. Owner John is a warm fellow that should be proud of that team. Rooms were clean and bed was really comfortable. Our room had a fridge, tv and safe but, no hairdryer. The Brains SA on tap... More

A brilliant pub with rooms to boot! An excellent base in a perfect location in the center of Padstow. Literally a stones throw to the harbour where its all happening. Superb staff and excellent food. Would definitely go back. Thanks for all the hospitality ;-)

Stayed here for a long weekend. Great central location. All the staff were very lovely and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was really good. One evening I had the most amazing plaice dish I've ever seen. The breakfast was good too with a good selection of hot food on offer. Will definitely be going back.

On our annual holidays to cornwall we always end up here and are never disapointed with the food, this visit the food was even better than usual. Monkfish curry was just right, the sirloin steak was one of the best iv had. Service was very good and nothing is ever too much trouble, the food arrived very quickly. They were... More

Lots of choices on an interesting menu. Good location right in the centre of Padstow with an outside covered area. However dont like the fact that lots of families have picnics in this area so if busy inside you eat your food with families having their own picnics and no one ever tells them its not allowed. (There is a... More

We went to this pub on spec not expecting very much from pub food however we found the menu imaginative and reasonably priced for the area. Service was good and the standard of food excellent. Don't be put off by the outside apperance as the rear conservatory is light and airy.
