About this property

Boasting a marina setting, the Ship and Trades is located in Chatham, 1.9 miles from Gillingham Train Station and offers free parking.

The contemporary bar, restaurant and hotel overlooks one of the yacht basins at the former Royal Naval Dockyard. It has waterfront seating with views of the boats and views across the River Medway onwards to Upnor Castle.

Visitors can also enjoy the view from inside the Ship and Trades’ wrap-around restaurant with floor-to-ceiling glazing overlooking the marina. The 15-bedroom hotel also has a comfortable lounge area and 2 snug rooms. Its décor is inspired by its nautical heritage, as the structure was originally home to dockyard offices and an engineering shop in the late 19th century.

A cinema and several shops are within a 10-minute walk away.

+ - Location for what we needed, approx ten minutes walk to the Historic Dockyard. Places to eat, shop and drink. - Breakfast was amazing, quality ingredients, plenty of choice from continental to cooked. - Overall theme and decor was fitting with area. - Room amenities were great, tea, coffee machine, biscuits, hairdryer, toiletries, iron and board. - Comfortable large bed. - Good room space. - Fantastic range and quality of food and drink from the bar/restaurant. - Ample parking. - Live music on Fridays but you could not hear that beyond the bar. - Lovely outdoor eating area.
− - The fans are not good for the rooms. Yes, they're Dyson but in the rooms we had they did nothing to cool us.

+ The hotel/pub has a lovely atmosphere, the rooms are really cozy and nice. Breakfast was great quality.
− No AC in the room, so it was quite warm. Opening the window and using the provided Dyson fan helped somewhat.
