A fantastic getaway and an Ideal base to explore all that exmoor has to offer.

I loved the room, it was large and I'd paid a little more for the view and I loved it. looking out over the harbour was a great way to end the day and start the next. The breakfast was excellent, the staff friendly and over all it was great.

Bargain, will definitely return

Basic rooms, but clean and comfy. Breakfast was awesome.

All the tables were reserved, so we couldn't eat there. Had to walk into town for a meal

9.0 / 10.0

Awesome!

Superb location, right next to the water. Great staff, awesome breakfast, quiet although the pub was probably open during the evening/night.

The check in time, maybe something a bit earlier than 15 o'clock would be perfect. However, you could store your luggage with them and roam around, if you wanted it. So not really a problem.

Lovely atmosphere, shame about lack of sleep

I love the Old Ship Aground, been visiting a couple of times a year for 6 years.

I wasn’t told my room, room 12, was above the dining room and a party would be held the night I stayed . I came away to my happy place for a relaxing night away as needed a break from stress at home. Unfortunately didn’t get any sleep until after 12 :(

The location and good value for money

The shower took 15 mints to run through hot , by that time I decided not to have a shower . The room decor was very dark . Would have been better painted in light colours and not dark . The heating went off in the room of an evening and went back on I think about 7 am , between these times the room went cold very fast and there was no spare blankets in the room . I ended up putting my big cost over the bed to help keep me warm . Breakfast was from 9 am and I was leaving at 8.45 am which meant I would miss breakfast. I was offered a sandwich to pic up on my way out . I asjed if I would have a bacon and egg , which would have been loverly . However there was not much of an option. Only ham , cheese or tuna . I had tuna sandwich. Orange juice and a packet of crisps . Which was nice .

You get what you pay for, just.

Location and value. Breakfast was excellent but unfortunately didn't start till 8.30 a.m and I had to leave earlier than that 2 out of the three mornings. The room was nice and clean and the radiator was easily adjustable. Lovely clean white bedding. All staff except one were great.

I tried to contact the property 3 times by messages/emails via Booking.com but didn't get any reply at all. So tried phoning, but no answer. The listing says dogs by request, free of charge, so I was trying to confirm my intention to bring my dog. Emailed 1 x September, 1 x October, and again in November. No response. Tried phoning in November. No answer. On arrival at check-in a rather miserable woman asked another person to check me in. The other woman didn't respond, so the miserable one did. She also said I'd have to pay £10 per night for my dog. So I showed her the listing which says dogs free of charge. Then she argued that I should of let them know I was bringing a dog..... so I showed her the list of emails they had never responded to, or the phone call.!! Then she said it was Booking.com fault and she would need to speak to her boss. But then decided not to ask the boss and reluctantly charged me as per my booking and had confirmation for. Very unwelcoming. The rest of the staff were very good. Breakfast was included in the price, alas it didn't start till 8.30 am and I had to be gone before that on 2 out of three of my mornings. The room was ok for the price, but the windows rattled terribly in the wind so I ended up putting a wedge of paper to stop the noise... I needed sleep! TV signal was poor, I gave up. Ensuite had no heating and was very cold, and the blind in the window was broken and unusable.

Great place to stay....

The location was fab, the hotel/pub is cosy and has a great atmosphere. The food was very good, both for the included breakfast and for the evening meal menu.

No issues - all good.

Disappointing

Clean, comfortable bed, friendly staff.

The room was very cold initially, as if the heating hadn't been on for some time. Even after I turned it on the air still felt chilly. Breakfast was a disappointment. The sausages, bacon and black pudding were hard on the exterior as if they had been cooked a while ago and kept warm for too long. Considering that breakfast started at 8.30 and I came down shortly after 9.00, that was surprising. The poached egg had lost most of its white and the hash brown was very poor. In addition, there was only one slice of toast.

Each quest was treated as an individual and made very welcome, so for me, a brilliant short break.

A pub full of character and charm, great location and great team of people working at The Old Ship Aground. An exceptionally good breakfast and my break was extremely good value for money. The bar was patronized by the locals and the atmosphere was full of Somerset hospitality.

Perfect for fishing with top skipper Mike on the 🚤Teddy boy 11 🎣

The proximity to the harbour for sea fishing absolutely brilliant.

7.0 / 10.0

Lovely spot

Perfect location for me right on the sea front. With a lovely walk along the coast on the doorstep. It's just a 10 minute walk into town. With pubs restaurants and shops. The restaurant in the pub serves great food. And the breakfast is a 10 out of 10. The bedding and towels were very clean.

Parking outside the pub is limited. There is plenty of parking close by. But you pay for it. Or you can park for free from 6pm untill 8am I think. The TV in my room didn't work, and as a single traveller, it would have been nice to have that. I had a single bed, and it wasn't that comfortable, but the bedding and sheets were very clean. As it's a pub, it's busy and noisy but doesn't go on all night.

We started the South West Coastal Path from here and it is a lovely location.

Great view from our room and the size and shape of the room is good as well and it looks better during daylight hours since its dark blue walls make it a bit gloomy at night.

The hall and staircase carpets have a strange smell and need replacing as do the plywood doors

Overall a good place to rest your head for a night

Lovely clean room with a very big comfy bed and good blinds for blocking out the light in the morning. Staff were lovely. It was a good location for our trip to Dunster Castle. Very easy to find and a good price. Pleased that it was a flexible booking option with no up front cost.

Unfortunately the TV did not work in our room, terrestrial or apps which was a shame. It was 9pm when we settled down so didn't want to ask for this to be fixed. Leaking shower tray and I felt bad about the water on the floor! Pack some earplugs due to some noise in and around the building Parts of the breakfast were not of great quality and could be improved in places

Charming pub, right next to the old harbour. Rooms are basic but comfortable.

Charming pub, with a nice view of the old harbour.

Not much sound proofing so it was very noisy when anyone walked down the corridor. Room key was rather old and had to rattle it around in the lock to get in.

Crowded restaurant and bar, noise outside late at night, but a busy pub so fair enough. Would stay again.

Whilst we enjoyed the food and staff were very friendly the whole place needs some investment to spruce things up the sm

The staff were friendly, our room was clean and bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed a lovely evening meal, my husbands and grandsons English breakfast was good quality and the portion size was adequate

Carpets in public areas are very worn and the smell through was very stale and musty, the whole place needs cleaning and the TV was hanging off the wall, no batteries in the tv remote control, I found the deco in the rooms very dark. The bathroom sink was very small and difficult to fill kettle from, the toilet flush didn’t work efficiently. Just little things not thought about that make a difference. We wanted to order dessert after our meal but was told no because the stopped cooking at 7pm but surely desserts should still be an option after your meal considering we ordered food just after 6pm but it took a while to come. My salmon and scrambled egg at breakfast was a very very small portion

Strongly suggested

Just one night here and it was delightful. The room was clean and as described on the websites. Cooked breakfast included, just the one you need before a day hiking at the Exmore National Park. The restaurant has such a great pub atmosphere with good food.

The room’s doors and corridors require some upgrades.
