Ship Inn, Tresaith in Ceredigion

I had an amazing experience at the Ship Inn Hotel and Pub Restaurant! The rooms were excellent, offering stunning sea views that made the stay even more special. The food was outstanding, and the service was truly exceptional – every detail was taken care of with warmth and professionalism. Whether enjoying a meal or relaxing in the room, the entire experience was top-notch. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing getaway with fantastic food and service!

We visited the Ship today for lunch, we ordered off the lunch set menu and the food (cooked by Vince and Alex) was amazing. As well as the lovely view! 👍

Nice new sofa area. Snagged it immediately 🌝. Very nice coffee too.

Had Christmas day dinner here and visited today Lovely spot hidden gem Both occasions the staff member finn was absolutely outstanding looking after us attentively. Many thanks

Excellent food and great service

Nice place with great views out to sea, serves was good , we all had the fish and chips which was lovely, parking is a bit limited and in summer a problem I would think.

Just come for a Sunday lunch roast beef was delicious massive Yorkshire pudding piping hot Service was very quick and friendly. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Had food here a few times now, been lovely everytime and food always on point. Great staff and great service :)

Great place and atmosphere. Fantastic service from Hayley and Leah. Love the new menu. 10/10.

Fantastic customer service!! Amazing food! The steak was cooked perfectly! The plan was to take pictures of the food but we ate it all! Thank you for a wonderful meal and my four leaf clover in my pint. Was a lovey touch! Definitely worth a visit!

We arrived late. They sat us quickly. Friendly prompt service. Good food and decent prices. Only downsides is the peril with trying to drive to the pub down the lanes (not the pubs fault!) and not having any IPA on the bar (the pubs fault). Also pub quiz night and highly serious quizzers do not mix well with a social group who have gone out to converse! :)

Can highly recommend this fantastic restaurant, staff are very welcoming and friendly, and the food is excellent. Great veggie options, and the staff are so helpful for vegetarian requests. Beautiful sea views, what a gem of a place!

Lovely pub with fantastic views of the beach. Food is very reasonably priced but is what you’d expect from a chain pub. The staff were absolutely fantastic, brilliant service and going the extra mile wherever possible. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area. They even have a menu for the dog which is something we’ve not seen before and was really appreciated. Thank you Hayley and the team we will see you again soon.

Wonderful location overlooking the beach. Food is good for a large pub chain. Staff are friendly & helpful. Dog friendly too.

We had high hopes for The Ship Inn, having received great reviews from friends. Unfortunately they weren’t met. We were greeted by 2 young waitresses and shown our table, where we were given menus and left for 10-15 minutes without a drink order. When we were asked for our order the waitress said that they had no pads to write the orders, so would try and remember our order. She then recited the order back but forgot half of it and decided it was best to write the order down on her phone, something that she said she shouldn’t have done. The starters arrived promptly and were fine, nothing to write home about but ok (chicken bites and calamari). However, the chicken was to come with a blue cheese dipping sauce, but wasn’t present on the plate, when we asked the waitress for it she said she had just been told by the chefs that they had run out and I asked for alternatives, which she was very accommodating of. The mains then arrived, my husband complimented his lamb shank, however the seabass that I ordered was so terribly, I couldn’t eat the dish. The fish was fishy and tasted “old”, it was limp and made me question how it was cooked. The potatoes were under seasoned, the greens were mushy and the sauce had dried on to the plate, it was inedible. We tried to salvage the meal with a shared dessert, the brownie. The brownie was undercooked and grainy leaving us disappointed in the meal and we felt as though we couldn’t say anything to the waitress as she was nice but seemed ill equipped to support us with our experience. It would have been nice to have a managerial presence on a Friday evening, that we could have raised these challenges to. Sadly, we won’t be back despite the lovely atmosphere and location.

Good cocktails and food for a pub beside the sea.

We had a friendly welcome, were sat at our preferred table, had the menus explained including those dishes not available (understandable at this time of year), had our orders taken and received our food in a timely fashion, all cooked nicely and tasted great. All in all very happy!

Very nice meal was good but busy with families

Fabulous service. Amazing views from perfect seating. Amazing food and fantastic with the kids. Perfect temp on the kids food so they could eat straight away. Thank you so much for a fabulous meal.

Food excellent and beautifully presented. Staff friendly and helpful. Atmosphere very pleasant with the lovely sea views.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Food good quality at a reasonable price. Going back tomorrow!

The food here was delicious, I had steak and ale pie which was very very nice. There is a great choice of food and drinks with a stunning view of the little bay

Such a lovely place to stay. A warm welcome, with a great selection of food and drink. The accommodation is also lovely with ensuite facilities and a sea view. I will be definitely recommending to my friends and visiting myself again.

Lovely food, lovely views, very friendly staff always happy to help! Thanks to all!

Super friendly service, some things unavailable on the menu but didn't affect us 😊we had sirloin steaks, they were a little tough but flavour and sides were lovely. Lovely and clean, on our last visit it was extremely grubby so a good improvement, always nice to sit and eat in a clean environment. Food very good value.

Easy to book a table. Parking was a bit of an issue but we managed to find a parking space… staff were very helpful with advice. We were greeted by friendly staff who could not have been nicer. Having bilingual waiters was a bonus. We were given a table with wonderful views of the sea and coastline. The food was very good and tasty.

Lovely place to stay last week. Its attached to a warm and welcoming pub. Staff very nice and friendly. Would definitely stay here again and great view and access to the beach

I recently had the pleasure of being served by Betsi, and I must say, her service was exceptional! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel welcome. Betsi was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our drinks were always full and that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, as she offered great recommendations based on our preferences. Not only was she prompt, but her friendly demeanor added a special touch to our dining experience. It's clear that she genuinely enjoys her job and cares about her customers. Overall, Betsi’s great service made our visit memorable, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an enjoyable dining experience. Thank you, Betsi!

Betsi was a diamond! We were brilliantly looked after and very attentive. Food was delicious

It was overall a great evening, the food was lovely and the staff were brilliant. We will be back soon.

Beautiful place right on the coast, stunning views over the bay, amazing service and friendly staff!

We are local to the area and have been coming to the Ship for years. I would say the pub is the best it has ever been. Service is great, food is brilliant for the price, and you have the option of sitting outside with lovely views of the beach on warm days or inside with the fire and cosy decor on colder ones. We visited this evening, and they have just put up the Christmas decorations, which adds further to the cosy interior. We asked to move table so we were by all the fairy lights which my daughter and wife loved, not a problem for the staff. Steak, seabass, and kids fish goujons, all really tasty. Dogs are welcome, which makes for a good pint after a walk on the beach. Nice little touches don't go unnoticed either, such as dog treats and water bowls. Well done to all the front of house staff and chefs! Top stuff 👏

Lovely friendly staff and very tasty food

The staff were incredible. Really on the ball, friendly and professional. We were welcomed straight away and had a beautiful table overlooking the beach. The food was wonderful and really reasonably priced. Next time we are in the area, we will be visiting again.

Great service and good quality food. Also views of the beach and sea

Came for an early evening meal with my family including young children Lovely warm welcome on arrival and taken straight to our table, wonderful view over the beach Food and drink orders were all taken quickly and everything arrived promptly. Food was very good quality and piping hot on arrival Service from the two front of house staff was very friendly. We will return when we are next in the area

Parking is a slight issue, but the service and food more than make up for it.

Such a amazing view to sit outside and simply have a coffee or even sit inside and have food we have done both as a family! Lovely people that work there, superb food ⭐️

Spacious, clean rooms with very comfy beds. Truly dog friendly. Amazing service, really delicious food and fabulous location.

Food was underwhelming. Salad option was a plate of lettuce with a not very nice dressing. Fish was overcooked. Only one small spoon of baked beans with the fish and chips. Would not recommend the food. Limited soft drink options on the menu.

Nice staff, nice coffee, nice view, so far so good

Fantastic sea views. Good menu. Food was good but I had had better there in the past. Service was super fast which made me wonder about freshness? Otherwise very good indeed. Dog friendly.

My stay with you was excellent thank you. Very welcoming and always available if needed. The food was top notch and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to all I know. The room was very comfortable and had everything I needed. That view just made it perfect. Thank you for your attention to detail and hard work making my stay memorable. Hopefully I'll be over from NZ again and heading your way sometime in the future.

Cozy pub with beautiful views over the bay. Spot the dolphins at the turning of the tide! Food tasty and reasonably priced. Beer cold, welcome warm.

Visited here for the first time.. very welcoming and warm atmosphere.. good food and drinks with good service with a smile.

Came in for a light lunch and quick pint, but the menu looked so good we decided to have a full dinner and a pudding. We were not disappointed! Pan fried sea bass, beer battered cod. Delicious. Staff were brilliant, and the view is fantastic. Made our day!

First of all we had a lovely welcome from the manager, who was so friendly and accommodating. We had a table with the sea view as requested for a special birthday meal. The coffee was fantastic and after a swim we returned for a lovely Sunday roast, which was well cooked and presented nicely. We had drinks outside on the patio and blankets were provided to keep us cosy. The meal was really good value too, not too expensive and good portions. We can’t fault anything at all and have decided we will return very soon.

When we arrived we were shown to our table by the lovely Betsy. She was very charming and made us feel at home. She took our drinks order and placed our food order. We had a fantastic late lunch at The Ship at Tresaith. We had booked for 3 o'clock and the mad rush of early booking was slowly calming down. We had a phone call to say they couldn't guarantee that Sunday roast would be available but when we arrived we were told they had four portions remaining. Three of us had roast and my friends husband took a fancy to the Steak and Ale Pie. The Roasts, two beef and one pork were huge and looked fantastic. The food was extremely tasty and filling. We live locally and it's not our first visit, always a great meal and friendly staff.

The waitress was very lovelly and atemptive as well as the barman. I have recently found out that I have a slight dairy intolerance but I don't like to tell the restaurants I go as it's not an allergie, and I don't want to be the dificult person with food restrictions, so I just ordered the Hunter's chicken without the cheese, after a couple minutes the waitress came back and asked me again if I had some allergies so I admitted my dairy intolerance, the waitress sugested that they were able to do the Hunter's chiken with vegan cheese. It was so thoughtfull that it made my day. The food was delicious, we will definitely come back. Please excuse my grammar as English is not my 1st language.

Superb food. Fabulous table and view. Fantastic service. Friendly and most helpful staff.

A welcome righteous pint after a long walk.

Sunday roast was delicious and service was very friendly ☺️

Good pub, good atmosphere. Pleasant afternoon spent with family

Just like thanks to the staff on Saturday night as it was are wedding anniversary and I ask for a bottle of prosecco to come to are table which they did straight away, Also the food was great so all in all it was a lovely night. Thank you

From awful service to just as awful food. Took nearly half hour to take our drinks order, took another 15min to bring the drinks and then we still had to wait for them to come back and take food order. Pork belly - was mainly just fat, miniscule amount of meat and fat not rendered down properly. Burger - burnt and dry as hell. Had to send both meals back, paid for drinks and left. Guy with blonde hair has terrible attitude, he brought 1 dish at a time (can't carry 2 plates?) and barely grunted a word to us just dropping plates onto the table. The view is the only good thing here.

Beautiful views of the beach and the sea from the spacious terrace.

Always the best time here, love it every time!

Love coming here, great service and food, and dog friendly. Have stayed here before in winter and it’s a lovely spot.

Excellent food and very friendly staff. Everything was worth the price. We will definitely be back!

The only pub in the village Pub in a great location 30 seconds from Tresaith beach Couple of nice outdoor areas with great views over bay Nice indoor areas as well Pub serves typical marston menu but does it well Serves food all day which is rare in most pubs in area

Like a holiday away from home, great service great food 😁

Stayed for 3 nights August 24. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Stunning views from our upstairs balcony room. A great beach too. Fantastic!

Great place to wine and dine. Loved the food and wine, the view is fantastic and the service was friendly

This busy pub needs more frequent food deliveries there are always sold out items taken off the menu.ie the steak promotion on Thursday, they ran out of steak no prawn cocktail starters left , overall the food that is available is very good

A lovely meal for all our family including vegetarian and vegan, and friendly, helpful staff :)

Lovely pub set on the coast with a beautiful view of the sea. We booked in advance and were seated promptly on our arrival. Drinks can be ordered online and arrived quickly upon payment. Food ordered at the bar and no problems with wait time. For a busy service, I have to say that the staff were brilliant. They were all extremely friendly and remained professional throughout. Will definitely be coming back when we are in the area.

Terrible don’t go Beer undrinkable can’t even get a soda and lime right !

Great food, hard working staff , lovely veiw

Excellent stay manager and staff so helpful would reccomend and will go again.Breakfast was superb and priced well.

I came with my granddaughter Mia who's 11. She arrived to stay with me after our planned family holiday ended up being a lonely one, she has come to stay for the 2nd week with me, We watched the sunsetting on the beach. She paddled in the sea, was mesmerised by the rainbow colours coming out of the waterfall before coming up to you guys for a well needed meal. It had been a super long day of driving. Mia is beyond fussy, so she chose to make her meal up consisting of onion rings, chicken nuggets, mac n cheese minus the extras..... 😋 😋 she enjoyed every bit of it. I enjoyed the Hunters chicken. Staff super lovely, very helpful, Mia felt confident to speak with staff when she needed to, this doesn't come easy to her, the evening was perfect. Thank you. We've booked in again 🙌 😍 xx

I had asked for a table not in the main area as my grandson has anxiety especially eating in front of strangers. However he wanted to go for a meal, the table area we were shown to was PERFECT in 'The Cwtch'. Food and service was great as always but the difference this made to me and my grandson more so made this a truly great memory for us all- thank you

Nice staff, lovely food. We were a couple sat by two large parties so very loud. Even though there were free tables we weren't allowed to move which was ashame. We booked in advance so not sure why others were given priority. Would go back but only if we could get a quieter table.

Tried to order but everything was no longer available had to settle for my fifth choice for a main and my second for dessert. Learned that they get their deliveries tue/wed do best to eat here wed evening so that you get what you want to eat . Entire experience was very frustrating only to be compensated by the view in a sunny day. If you read their response, they ask me to get in contact with them so they can rectify my experience. I have emailed them twice but they never replied back so it’s all spin on their part so they try to look good when they have given bad service

Fantastic place for food and drink with amazing views

worst pub in the universe! booked a table, table wast available when we arrived so we sat outside. ordered food, starter arrived followed by main courses 2 minutes later. one main was the wrong meal so I went back and arrived again 15 minutes later, half way through I found long black hairs underneath the steak! I told the waitress who took it away and didn't return! I went to the bar to be told they couldn't do anything as the manager wasn't there! I've complained about 10 times since and to the manager who have all not managed to give me a refund for the food I didn't have! don't eat here if u want a nice meal or good service!!!

Wonderful visit, accommodating staff and great food

I had a delicious crab pasta dish. Parking in the street close by

Very nice Bar with an amazing view at the bay. Nice people behind the bar and good food. Would love to come back again!

We had a lovely evening. The food was great and the staff were very welcoming. We sat in the window and it was great to watch the sea while it got dark outside.

Came to enjoy some lunch. Food was great and The staff were so friendly. The view is incredible! This was my first time here and second time for my parents. I can see why they recommend it. Will be back again.

Lovely table with sea view, even though I had the 2 dogs with me. Service was quick, the lady that took our order was very pleasant and accommodating. Food was really good and a lovely atmosphere in the pub. I have visited on many occasions and feel that there was improvements in both the service and food.

Really lovely little restaurant- right by the beach side, perfect for watching the sunset with a glass of wine. Friendly staff & fast service - definitely recommend 👍

Great views of Tresiath beach as right on the front. That's why they don't really have to try hard. We booked a table. Sat outside. Went to the bar to order as you couldn't order via the phone from the table as it did not recognise the menue. We were going to have sea bass and flat bread meal. The couple behind us told us not to bother with the flat bread as the chicken dry and no chirozo was in his meal as listed in the menu. So thought we would have home made lasagne with red wine. Waited aged to be served as one person at the bar. Only to be told no sea bass. So ordered the pie. When it arrived no cutlery given to us so waited. The food was barely warm. The lasagne was out of a jar. If I had known this I wouldn't of ordered as this makes me ill. There's something in the ingredients. Nobody asked if our meals were OK. So disappointing as it was al special reason for eating g out that day. In future when we go to the ship we will just have a drink. I would avoid eating at Marstons pub again .

Perfect place for the perfect meal and drinks.

Day 1 ordered a drink at the table and yes it arrived. The next 2 days running I kept ordering a drink at the table as I had the dog with me but each time I had to remind the staff I was still waiting for my drink after 25 minutes. When I did go in and speak with them, they said they don't offer table service as they are too busy and next time I need to come in!!! The pub has amazing views but the service needs to be vastly improved sorry and if they don't offer table orders, maybe stop advertising you offer it.

Fabulous place, beautiful view overlooking the sea and perfect for dolphin watching. Hayley was amazing and service brilliant. Will definitely come again.

Unassuming on the outside, over exceeds expectations on the inside. This is a highly considerate pub, with an immediately warm welcome in the form of water jugs freely available, clean blankets for the outdoor guests, dog treats and water, and board games to use. We could tell within a glance that this is a great pub to settle in for a cozy Sunday lunch. The menu included usual pub grub and something for all tastes and ages. The food itself was unremarkable, with the sharing platter a little beige and fried to be truly gastro-pub worthy. I recommend a few fresh garnishes and side salads to make it more appealing. A stones throw from the beach make this a beautiful spot to stop for lunch if you’re in the area.

Amazing place to have lunch following a morning onnthe beach. Exceptional food, friendly attentive staff & a great location!!

Food was great but they need more staff, the staff that were there were great. Lovely views and very reasonable

Beautiful setting, friendly staff and fabulous food. Sunday roast was delicious and the menu catered for all our family's varied food choices. Couldn't have picked a nicer place to enjoy our final evening on holiday in west Wales. Will definitely be returning in the future.

Below is a review from two years ago, we have lodge nearby and eat here at least once a week in season. The truth is it’s a managed pub and it’s not been managed well for a number of seasons. First, the good side. Most of the staff are lovely and try their best and the location and view will remain unparalleled. However, it is unquestionable that overall there has been a decline in quality of food and service that has been mirrored by a rise in price. Drink prices are London levels (over £6 a pint and £9+ for a large glass of average Rose). Not that you can get served at peak times of course when staff watch as a queue snakes out of the bar a one staff member takes 15 mins to serve a couple of cocktails to 1 customer. We normally don’t bother anymore, it’s so expensive that it’s not worth the wait. We ate there last night, for once the menu was fully available (a novelty I promise you) two burgers, a veggie curry and a kids meal. ‘A Buttermilk chicken burger’ that was three breaded chicken goujons and a wet lettuce leaf in a bun (£16) that I simply refused to accept (kids party bbq fodder) accompanied by a small handful of fries. That was replaced by a signature burger without cheese, which of course came with cheese. Portion sizes in general just small and poor value. The weather may not reflect it, but it’s high season, and yet at 9pm last night there were only two people left in the pub. It was dead. The decline in two years is marked. I post this in hope that it encourages Marstons to up their game. Support their staff and help them make a once great pub much better. Two years ago… Good service, reasonably priced food. Table near toilets not great and only one veggie option available… Pretty good though overall.

Great food, lovely view and friendly staff!! Highly recommended !!

We come to The Ship Inn every year as part of a family tradition. Table booked weeks in advance with special request to be near front. Told our table had been bumped to “prioritise residents” so we’re sat in the back. Joined by another table who said that they were locals and had been pushed to the back as “Steven is working instead of Haley so things aren’t good”. Two other tables complained and one table was moved. Food was okay but service poor and ruined overall experience.

Great hostess, great food, overall good visit!

Really excellent fish and chips, very good service and a lovely spot to sit and take in the view. Dog friendly :)

We had a fabulous time here celebrating my husbands 60th birthday

Fabulous location and views. Friendly staff and fabulous food good value. Advise offsite parking on the approach road short walk to the pub

Fantastic from the moment we walked in, bar staff and table staff were attentive but not over the top, food was absolutely outstanding we both had steak, would definitely recommend anyone to go there for a nice meal

Never again. Used to be great many years ago, but its gone down hill. Now its below basic pub grub, over priced, and poor service to boot. Go to the ship in Aberporth (quality) or even the caravan site at Helyg (Value) if you want something better to eat. I ordered the rib eye, medium, came out well done! and then had to wait another 30 mins for the next steak which was blue 🤦‍♂️. It was a Saturday at around 5pm, and they had no rice to go with the curry my daughter had 😂. It seems to me, that the stunning location is the only reason this place remains open.

Great location, stunning views, lovely old pub. Friendly staff, will definitely return
