About The Ship Inn
The Ship Inn is a traditional pub building on Sandgate High Street in Folkestone, the kind of coastal inn that has long combined a working bar with simple rooms upstairs. Its character comes from that pub heritage, with the bar and restaurant still forming the heart of the place rather than being an afterthought for guests staying the night.
Rooms are en-suite and come with drinks provided, and breakfast is included to start the day. There's free WiFi throughout, 24 hour reception for flexible arrival, and some rooms make the most of the setting with sea views over the coast. Free on-site parking makes it an easy stop for those arriving by car.
Downstairs, the restaurant and bar serve as a proper local as well as a place to eat without going anywhere else, and there are further pubs, bars and restaurants nearby for those who want to explore. The surrounding area suits an active stay too, with walking and cycling routes close by, plus fishing, watersports and a golf course within reach for anyone looking to fill the days around Folkestone.
