Lovely stay at The Ship with my youngest son whilst going to Anfield and The Open. Only issue there was no hot water on Saturday morning when showering, sorted by the time showering on Sunday.

Great location and superb view from the open eating restaurant, food & drink options are excellent and the quality of food is excellent. A very clean hotel and very helpful cleaners. My only negative is the parking which is not fit for purpose if you are staying at the property as it's coinously full and come across a very rude member of staff when I was ill and unable to move my car. Due to this experience I would not stay here again, but would definitely recommend the restaurant.
