Ship Inn, Brancaster

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights (pre-booked) and were quite taken aback at the proprietors' reception, which was unwelcome to say the least. Our room, though sizeable enough, was overpriced for what we got - the bathroom consisting of a loose-fitted toilet and a shower which not only left you standing ankle-deep in water, but was noisy in the extreme due to its being 'motorised'. On top of this they refuse to provide any soap other than the most budget of hand soaps. The food, too, was overpriced and the drinks range decidedly average. By all means stop at this historic little inn if you're parched after a long walk, but I couldn't recommend it less for a pleasant relaxing weekend stay.
