The Great Ship at Dunwich

I had made a mistake when booking the room, i booked a 'snug'. With two Golden Retrievers - a big mistake. Management were great and found us an outside room that was more suited. Loved the staff, other customers and the people in general. Felt the history.

Wonderful place

The Ship is in a quiet country lane 2 minutes from a fabulous beach. The staff are friendly and helpful, the room was really lovely, the bed so comfortable and ours had a beautiful view across the fields. We had dinner which was delicious too. A really peaceful place to stay.

Lovely pub stay

Cosy rooms next to a pub. The pub is friendly with a large beer garden and 3 min walk to the pebbly beach. Friendly staff, well equipped. Good food at the pub.

Charming hotel in the beach

Great hotel, pleasant staff in a wonderful location. Unfortunately there was a problem with the gas when we stayed so there was no hot water and the food choice was limited. On checkout the hotel generously discounted the bill.
John, 1-night trip

Lovely hotel, facilities in room were quite basic. But it was clan and comfortable
Elizabeth, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved the location and venue. All staff friendly and helpful. My only slight critism was the cost of glasses of wine were very, very expensive.
Amanda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff were very co-operative finding an alternative room to the one originally allocated to us as the room was not suitable for my wife as she is disabled. Meant having a smaller room but it was ok for our one night stay. Food was very good.
