About the Business
The Ship Hotel is situated on the stunning Parkgate Parade on the Wirral peninsula. Parkgate has in its time been a thriving port in the 1700s, popular Victorian holiday resort with one particular regular visitor being Lord Nelson, whose mistress Lady Hamilton lived just down the way. It is now a destination for diners, walkers, bird watchers and fans of the ever popular and famous Parkgate ice-cream and local shrimps.
The hotel provides good value, well equipped, en-suite accommodation, providing excellent, warm, clean and comfortable rooms at budget prices. We pride ourselves on our homely, friendly atmosphere and warm welcome given to every guest at The Ship.
The present Ship Hotel occupies the site of three buildings, probably adjoining. Before the 1850s the front part, facing Parkgate parade, was a house and shop, which at one time housed the post office. Behind it was the Ship Inn, and behind that was another inn called the Black Bull or Bull's Head.
