The Resturant was closed during my visit.

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 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.
Friendly staff and close to the beach.
Nice location.
Parking was adequate.
Dogs are allowed at the hotel
Complimentary water , lovely tea ,coffee and cookies.
Great bed and linen.
Complimentary toiletries.
Nice shower.
Great Wi-Fi
Smart TV allowed me to cast Netflix and Amazon .
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.
Fantastic evening meal, dreamy nights sleep and amazing cooked breakfast all in a beautiful location ready for our visit to NT Dunwich Heath and RSPB Minsmere
