Top Dinosaur Museum Hotel Reviews

Fairhaven Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very helpful with my elderly parents"

Old Ship Inn

4/10 Poor

"Not worth the price unfortunately. The beds were made up nicely and comfortable but the curtains have mould at the bottom and the curtain pole isn’t secure so it fell and hurt my hand when I went close the curtains. The bathroom had empty shower gel and soap dispensers. We went out for dinner but on returning the pub door was locked as they closed early. Luckily, a member of staff was still there to let us in and then kindly informed us that there is a back entrance too which we didn’t know before. No one was around at check out time (11am) so we just left the keys in the room. Will not stay again. I have no idea how some have rated this place 10/10. I’m just glad my young children did not get hurt but I left with a lovely bruise on my hand."

The Spice Ship

6/10 Okay

"This is an unusual property, downstairs is like being inside a ship! Guests bedrooms are upstairs via narrow stairs (no lift). My room was tastefully decorated and the bed was very comfortable. I really like the thought that had gone into details such as special tea bags, a bag of things you might need, water bottle next to bed. The en suite was fine although there was a slight fluctuation to water in the shower. Parking no issue. The cooked to order Breakfast was nicely presented and hot. Limited choices in the breakfast 'help yourself ' buffet and not sure about the bread. The croissants were not fresh ones sadly. The main negative for me was the sound of traffic from the busy road less than 3 metres from front of the building. The traffic continued past 10pm both nights i stayed here and started up again by 6am. The windows were lovely sash style but not double glazed which would have helped."
