Located on the edge of Dartmouth with panoramic views over Coronation Park and the River Dart, The Ship In Dock Inn provides accommodation with a restaurant, a bar, and free WiFi. All rooms are well-appointed king-size doubles with en-suite bathrooms, mini-bars, and views of the river and park. The bar offers one of the widest selections of spirits, wines, and draught beverages in town, along with live Sky and BT Sports. A continental breakfast is available each morning at The Ship In Dock Inn, featuring freshly cooked options. The inn's location, dating back to 1656, places it within walking distance of Dartmouth's attractions, including Dartmouth Museum (0.5 km) and Dartmouth Boat Hire (0.5 km).

Pros
All rooms overlook Coronation Park and the River Dart, with king-size beds and en-suite bathrooms.
The bar serves a wide selection of spirits, wines, and draught beverages, including local real ales and ciders.
Breakfast includes freshly cooked options, with individually prepared dishes.
The inn is located in a quieter area but remains within a 5-minute walk of Dartmouth's town center.
Free WiFi is available throughout the property.
Cons
Rooms are accessible only via narrow Victorian staircases, which may be challenging for guests with limited mobility.
Pets are not permitted in guest rooms, though they are allowed in the bar area.
“This is a great little find, where the charm of a guesthouse meets a proper local pub. The rooms are particularly well-cared for-details like fresh milk in the mini-bar and gorgeously decorated bathrooms really stand out. It's a memorable spot for a Dartmouth visit, balancing comfort with a genuine, warm welcome.”
