The Old Ship Aground

Minehead Harbour, Quay Street · Inn

A harbourside inn with 12 en-suite rooms, built in 1911, overlooking Minehead's working fishing harbour.

About The Old Ship Aground

The Old Ship Aground sits directly on Minehead's harbourside on Quay Street, in a building dating from 1911 that was originally known as The Pier Hotel. Its position gives many rooms and the pub itself a direct view over the working harbour, where fishing boats still come and go.

The inn has 12 en-suite bedrooms of varying sizes above a busy pub and restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a strong emphasis on locally landed seafood. Free parking and Wi-Fi are included, and the setting makes it a natural base for anyone wanting to be close to the water.

From the harbour it is a short, level walk to Minehead's beach, seafront and the start of the South West Coast Path, making the Old Ship Aground popular with walkers as well as those simply after a characterful place to stay by the sea.
