“The Ship Hotel, a family-run establishment since 1982, occupies a prime location at Aberdaron Beach. Its position on the pilgrimage route to Ynys Enlli adds a layer of historical intrigue, while the promise of locally sourced seafood makes it a standout. I think this is a warm Welsh welcome in a truly scenic spot.”
