The Ship at Dunwich  

On the Suffolk coast in Saxmundham, steps from Dunwich Museum and a short walk to Dunwich Heath and Beach. A beach inn just minutes from the shore and within easy reach of Southwold Beach and the Norfolk Broads — pet-friendly and ideal for groups.

Once a smugglers' haunt turned cosy inn, The Ship at Dunwich pairs traditionally furnished bedrooms with an enormous garden dotted with fruit trees and some rooms offering sea or marsh views. Sixteen guestrooms include flat-screen TVs, coffee/tea makers, private bathrooms with tubs or showers, desks and daily housekeeping.

On-site bar and restaurant, a sunny terrace and spacious garden, plus free on-site self-parking. The beach is only a couple of minutes' walk, so expect sea-breeze mornings and easy coastal access.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and in-room desks to keep you connected.

The Ship bar/lounge serves home-cooked British cuisine and real ales, with popular fish-and-chips on the menu and full cooked breakfasts served daily (fee applies). Room service is available for laid-back meals after a day exploring the coast.
