In the heart of Dunwich, this traditional inn offers home-cooked food and real ales. There is free private parking, and the beach is a brief walk from The Ship.

Lovely property in a super location. Excellent food quality. Friendly atmosphere. Well sticked bar. Staff and service very good indeed. Easy to park. Stone’s throw from the beach.
This 4-star hotel is in Southwold town centre, 200 metres from the beach. It offers free parking, two restaurants, a butler service and free WiFi throughout.

This hotel is amazing, decor, food, drink, location, everything is spot on. The staff are what makes it 1st class. Nothing is too much trouble and they are so friendly and are happy to talk to you with a smile at all times. We really couldnt find anything we didnt like it really was a lovely stay,

Breakfast was very good. Decor of main house was very good, a bit dark & gloomy though. Staffing issues. Owners seemed to lack interest. The lady that was possibly the main cook was very friendly but had a very scruffy appearance & smelt heavily of cigarettes. A beautiful property, but not run efficiently. Signage was very poor & the owner agreed that Sat Nav instructions were very unclear. The Hotel should give prior warning of this & give specific directions.
Blyth Hotel is located in the seaside town of Southwold, on the Suffolk coast. This beautifully restored Edwardian property offers an à la carte restaurant, a bar and free parking.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable clean and roomy, the breakfast was very good being freshly prepared and promptly served.
White Hart Inn has a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Blythburgh. The property is around 26 km from Framlingham Castle, 38 km from Saint Botolph's Burgh and 42 km from Eye Castle.

The rooms are located behind the main building and therefore shielded from any road noise and with an uninterrupted view across the estuary.
The dinner and breakfast were superb.
Service was personal and good.
Midway between Southwold and Aldeburgh, this modernised, rustic inn has an excellent restaurant and refurbished, stylish rooms. It is an ideal base for exploring the Suffolk Heritage Coast.

Staff were super-helpful and friendly, the room was really comfortable (quality tea, coffee and hot chocolate!) and dinner and breakfast were very tasty. And our pooch was made to feel so very welcome.
Located in Southwold, 700 metres from Southwold Pier Beach, The Sail Loft provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

The Resturant was closed during my visit.
This was very clearly pointed out to me before travelling.
The Randolph Hotel is situated in Reydon near Southwold, 41 km from Norwich and 47 km from Ipswich. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar. Every room has a flat-screen TV.

Dunwich is a tiny place but well known in Norfolk and Suffolk for walks and bird-watching as well as the history of the lost town, so don't go there for the night-life. However it is a great base to visit nearby Walberswick, Westleton, Southwold and a bit further Aldeburgh - either by car, bike or on foot depending on weather and mobility. Great area for dog walkers.
We stayed and ate in The Ship Inn, and for the second night we ate at The Crown in Westleton 2.5 miles away.
We were late in the season so the village museum was closed but there was other interpretation around, and ruins to visit. Unless you have a car or bike, you would need to be on a walking tour as it is a long way from anywhere by foot. There is a 6.5mile round walk to Southwold I believe

Pleasant room, tasteful decor and lighting, but overlooking a noisy courtyard. On balance we felt the room over priced.
Great location and restaurant food very tasty and well presented, although insufficient options for vegetarians and vegans.
Staff let the place down; they didn't know where we should store our bikes and also it was our wedding anniversary and we had asked for a specific table to be reserved. This was on the booking, but not followed through by staff on the night.

The beach is fantastic for walking in both directions.
The beach is fantastic for walking in both directions. There are circular walks for those who are fit. Beach never appears to have rubbish and dog friendly.
Dunwich a very small village with really just the Ship Inn and the museum. In the summers months there is a cafe on the beach.
Car parking at the beach is free so a real bonus.

Great walking and scenery.
Great walking and scenery. Got lost for a short while on the Sandlings forest walk but found my way back. There's really nothing to do but visit the pub, a small museum, a church and the beach but that was enough for me.
We loved our room and the fact that it was cleaned everyday. It was in a quiet area of the hotel and the bed was very comfortable. The facilities in the room were more than adequate. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The "Ship" was very busy during our stay, but they were extremely helpful.
The food was lovely, especially the generous portion of breakfast.
We loved our stay at The Ship, it was our first visit to Dunwich and we will most definitely visit again. Both dinners and breakfasts were superb. Cozy atmosphere with lovely warm fire in main bar area. Clean and comfortable room with doggy bed, bowl and treats on arrival was a very sweet welcome for our 2 cockapoo's! Highly recommend.
The location was beautiful - near the sea and some lovely walks. The menu was excellent for dinner so we didn't have to travel to eat. Breakfast was also brilliant - with a great choice of breakfast menu. It was in easy reach of Dunwich Heath and MInsmere and we even saw the elusive Dartford Warbler AND a Bittern.
I couldn’t fault The Ship at Dunwich most kindest of staff, great location 2 minute walk to the beach. The food was extraordinary! Atmosphere felt as if I was at home chilled vibes and felt so comfortable. You definitely get what you pay for and more.
Clean, comfy, good food and a superb location just behind Dunwich beach. Lovely short walks from the Ship up to Greyfriars and along to the church and beach to start each day. Quiet from mid-late evening at this time of year. Good coffee in the room.
Great to be a short walk from Dunwich Beach. Busy at times but quieter than Southwold. Good location for exploring Sutton Hoo, Snape Maltings, Southwold & Aldeburgh. Staff very friendly and food quality excellent.
We had breakfast and dinner during our 2 night stay and the food was of a good standard. The overall ambience of the hotel and its restaurant was friendly and comfortable.
Cute room, comfy bed, lovely bath. Superb singer on Thursday afternoon.
Proximity to beach is brilliant, the walk from Dunwich to Southwold is highly recommended.
