Inn, still in use, built in the mid 19th century, probably incorporating 1771 fabric, with later alterations. It is a three-storey, four-bay, rectangular-plan, terraced hotel with a crowstepped nepus gable. A lower adjacent building to the south, formerly known as the Old Fish House, was also built in the mid 19th century but has since been heavily altered. The Ship Inn is constructed from whitewashed coursed rubble with contrasting polished ashlar margins, those at the ground floor with pedimented heads. The graded grey slate roof has coped ashlar gablehead and wallhead stacks with cans and ashlar-coped skews with beak skewputts to the nepus gable. The principal east elevation has a central two-leaf, vertically-boarded timber door with decorative metal hinges and a plate glass letterbox fanlight. There is a single window immediately to the south and bipartite windows in the outer bays. Each floor above has regular fenestration, with the windows to the second floor centre breaking the eaves into the nepus gable, and those to the outer bays breaking the eaves into piended dormerheads.
