The Old Ship in Ashington

Oh, let me tell you about The Old Ship – it's one of those cosy spots by the sea that just warms you up from the inside out. Picture this: you're sipping a pint with the waves crashing nearby, and the staff are all smiles, making sure everything runs smoothly. The food is brilliant, with massive portions of freshly cooked meals that feel like a proper home-cooked treat, and it's all at reasonable prices too. If you're lucky, you might catch a live band that really gets the place buzzing, or if you're staying, the rooms are clean and comfy for a peaceful night. On the flip side, it can be a bit hit-or-miss with drinks; someone mentioned not getting a full pint when they asked, which is a tad annoying. And if you're after constant excitement, it might feel quiet on off days. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed outing, especially with that lovely 4.4 rating backing it up – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as the good far outweighs the minor niggles.
