An easy 20 minute flat stroll into town and the pier. The rooms were clean, bright and cheerful. The food was delightful and we didn’t feel the need to eat elsewhere in the evenings. The staff were friendly and efficient. We would highly recommend!

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.
The Ship at Dunwich is full of character and is quite quirky. We were able to eat dinner either inside, where there was a full menu, or outside in the "Field Kitchen" which served pizzas as well as a limited selection of main courses. Breakfast was very nice and could be eaten either inside or in the outside area. My husband loved the selection of ales available. I believe it is a favourite for dog owners as there are lots of walks to be found in the forest. The staff could not have been more helpful.
The hotel is ideally located for visits to local beauty spots (e.g. Dunwich Heath) and attractive towns (Southwold, Aldeburgh). The breakfast food was good (I particularly liked the muesli) and our evening meals were also well prepared and tasty, with plenty of choice. The staff were friendly and happy to please. The good-sized bathroom with bath was a definite plus.
We had hoped, and prior communications had seemed to suggest, that the disadvantages for my disabled/mobility scooter-dependent partner would be fewer than proved to be the case. Partly at least our problem - we should have appreciated the consequences of the age and situation of the hotel. Staff, however, were as helpful as they could be.
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.
Friendly greeting by both owner and staff.
Very accommodating overall and the facilities were excellent. Our energetic pooch was tolerated during our short stay. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel /Inn located in a beautiful part of Suffolk.
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.
The breakfast was very good.
As we had to be in Dunwich, the location was perfect.
Evening meals were good - but rather more expensive than I'd have liked.
