“A charming traditional inn set in a stunning and secluded spot on the Suffolk Coast. Rooms vary in size but all have a cosy country-chic feel. The restaurant serves good pub fare, ideal to return to after a day spent outdoors. Ideal for a quiet escape to nature for families or couples.”

The Ship at Dunwich

This is a terrific place to come for a lazy weekend by the sea – a cosy pub with decent food and a peaceful end-of-the-road location in Dunwich, which was once medieval England’s largest port but is now a tiny village of less than 100 souls.
