Fabulous comfortable rooms with huge beds and gorgeous bathrooms and toiletries. Top quality food ( particularly the fish dishes and breakfast) and entertainment and the staff throughout were welcoming, professional and efficient. Loved our stay and look forward to the next one.

We enjoyed an overnight stay at The Ship Inn and it was fabulous - the glorious Spring sunshine played its part, but in terms of warmth even it played second fiddle to Lizzie and the rest of the staff. Our room (The Captain Bligh) was excellent; suitably nautically decorated, bright and cosy, with amazing views over the beach. Service at dinner was very attentive and there was a terrific a**osphere in the busy restaurant with families, groups of friends, locals and visitors underlining its popularity. Good menu, fairly priced and a decent wine list too. Downstairs, the bar staff never kept you waiting more than a couple of minutes for a drink and there was a good selection of draft beers, including a couple of local brews. The perfect overnight stay - we also booked the Elie sauna on the beach and enjoyed a cold water dip in the sea and it's also highly recommended. This corner of Scotland rarely disappoints. This was our first visit to The Ship Inn, but it won't be our last.

The ship is simply the best! We had a birthday party in the cabin and it was absolutely wonderful. From the stunning views across the beach where you can watch the kids play safely to the excellent better than bar food served promptly, piping hot and with great charm. From the minute we spoke to the lovely Fiona who organises the events we knew we were in safe, caring hands! Then we met James who oversaw the party on the day. Wow what a gem of a guy! He's kind and capable and great with kids and grannies but also has great pizazz and a wicked sense of humour. A mean dancer himself he has a fab sound system in the cabin for all of us dancing queens if you want to boogie. Our guests were bowled over by all these wow factors and declared it worth the drive from anywhere in Scotland! By the end of a fantastic day we were left in no doubt at all that our Ship had well and truly come Inn!!

Beautiful seaside hotel! Stayed Easter weekend for my partners birthday! Staff were amazing, everyone made sure we had the most special time! Captains sea view room was immaculate and spacious. Dinner was beautiful with lovely wine, oysters then steak and haddock for mains. We were served by Hope who is an absolute credit to your hotel!. So attentive, efficient and made us feel so welcome even with a full restaurant of other guests! Working in the hotel industry it is so appreciated when you are really looked after by staff. Thank you to everyone for a lovely weekend! Can’t wait to come back for more than just one night, it is simply not enough.

Stayed for a night while walking the Fife Coastal path. The staff were very welcoming when we arrived and the rooms were large. The beds were very comfortable for a good night's sleep. The dinner was excellent and breakfast sent us well on our way the following morning.

We had great stay at The Ship inn with a lovely room with quality extras like coffee machine, quality soaps and shampoo in the bathroom and great big bed. Excellent food from the restaurant and a fantastic range of local beers and spirits from the bar with inside and outside seating and finally great staff in a busy bar/ restaurant
