    delicious dinner

    Spent a night with friends and loved it! The room was just what we needed—clean and cozy. We grabbed dinner in the quiet conservatory, and it was delicious. The staff was super friendly and accommodated our early breakfast request. The beautiful beach nearby and the lovely outdoor seating made our stay perfect.

    delicious food
    coastal walks

    Had a great time with friends. We enjoyed the beautiful coastal walks and the delicious food. The location is perfect for exploring nearby attractions like Minsmere and Aldeburgh. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Just a heads up, the room didn't have a mirror near the socket, so plan accordingly if you need to get ready.

    The Ship At Dunwich offered a cozy environment with beautiful coastal views, making it easy for seniors like me to enjoy leisurely walks and relax in their comfortable garden area, which was a delight during my stay.

    Improved accessibility for seniors would be appreciated.

    fantastic food
    big garden
    cleaning attention

    The food was fantastic, and the big garden was a lovely spot to unwind after a long day. I enjoyed some quiet moments by the beach and loved the cozy atmosphere. The only downside was that some areas could use a bit more attention, but it didn’t take away from my overall experience. 😊

    Cozy stay with great vibes

    We loved our stay! The marsh view room was comfy with nice touches like coffee and biscuits. Staff were super friendly, and dinner was tasty. The only bummer was the warm room temp, which made sleeping a bit tough. Can't wait to hang out in the beautiful garden next time!

    cozy room
    beautiful garden
    minor toiletries issue

    The room was warm and cozy with a beautiful view of the garden, and I really enjoyed relaxing by the fireplace after a day out. There were lovely spots to unwind in the garden and a charming lounge area too. The only downside was that the toiletries could’ve been a bit more stocked, but overall, it was a delightful stay! 😊

    dingy entrance

    location was really good for us, close to our relation. room was comfy and the staff were friendly. enjoyed dinner at the pub, food was good although menu could be better. nice little beer garden too!.

    but the menu was really limited, only a burger if you wanted meat! plus, the entrance looked kinda dingy and the hallway carpet needed a clean.

    cozy bed
    friendly staff

    the ship had a fantastic location, just a short walk to the beer garden. our room, the standard double, had really crisp sheets that made our stay super cozy. the staff were friendly, especially the breakfast chef, who served a meal that stood out from the rest of our stay.

    Loved the huge and tasty full English breakfast and the beautiful rear garden space was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
