About

Nestled on the Wirral bank of the stunning Dee Estuary, The Ship offers a unique blend of historic charm and contemporary hospitality. This 19th‑century coastal inn provides a relaxed pub atmosphere by day and sumptuous rooms by night. Visitors can unwind in the cozy bar, dine on freshly‑made British classics with a sea‑salt twist, or stroll onto the sun deck for sweeping views of North Wales. Overnight guests enjoy 23 fully ensuite bedrooms – from comfortable doubles to elegant four‑poster king rooms – all sharing the same warm, nautical ambience. The pub’s food menu pairs seasonal ingredients with classic pub favourites, while the bar showcases a wide selection of local ales, craft lagers, and signature cocktails. With a welcoming open fire, a sunny terrace, and a friendly crew committed to genuine hospitality, The Ship is a perfect stop for both casual drinkers and those seeking a night’s stay. Whether you’re a local looking for a weekend escape, a traveller exploring Cheshire, or a group celebrating a special occasion, The Ship’s versatile spaces offer something for everyone – from lively socialising to intimate private dining and well‑coordinated room bookings that prioritise comfort and flexibility. The Ship’s commitment to accessibility is evident: free entry, easy‑to‑find location, and a bike‑friendly environment mean that guests can focus on the experience rather than logistics.
