I feel that I must put the record straight, after reading jeb's review. Was he in another restaurant, on another island, in a different universe? Is £5.50 unreasonable for a jacket potato with filling, served at a restaurant, when an M &S sandwich costs at least £3. I think this may give an insight into the mind of the plaintive... More

I love Lindisfarne and go regularly. However we had the misfortune of dining here on one lunch time when our daughter had driven over 100 miles to visit and spend the weekend with us. We all ordered jacket potatoes with different fillings at the extortionate price of £5.50 EACH! I was reluctant to pay this but as the pub was... More

The Ship Inn is a real gem offering great hospitality, clean, comfortable accommodation and superb food. For hosts Janice and Andrew nothing is too much trouble and we left knowing this was somewhere we will return to time and time again. Thanks! More

Hats off to Andrew & Janice, their hospitality is second to none. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and real ales, and having stopped in room one (the more... More

Extremely friendly service. The owners were more than hospitable, food was home cooked and fantastic. The open fire in the bar was atmospheric and relaxing, a wonderful way to spend a weekend. We were very impressed with the Ship Inn and would highly recommend a visit to this wonderful part of the North East. More

Our experience of this place could not have been further from most other reviewers opinions. When you arrive the hall way is dark and dismal and very small, up the narrow stairs to the rooms. We were in the 4 poster bedroom, what a disappointment!!! Upon entering the room smelt musty and on closer inspection it was apparent the room... More
