Once a haunt of smugglers, the Ship at Dunwich isn't just a great place to eat, drink, relax & get away from it all; it's also part of a great local story. There are comfortable, traditionally furnished rooms, some with great views across the sea marshes. 16 letting rooms and a tiled bar with simple wooden furniture and wood-burner. The menu is extensive. The pub has an enormous garden, dotted with fruit trees (including a 300 year old fig tree) and the beach really is just a couple of minutes walk away. There's music each month (on last Thursday). Beers are from local brewers. Beer Festivals are held in March & September.

Asset of Community Value

Sturdy Victorian building, though the cellars are from Tudor times. The simple L-shaped bar would once have been two rooms; one half has a lovely tiled floor and an elegant brick fireplace. The wooden benches are old, possibly even original, the bar counter looks old with the left hand side older than the front one. The bar back is old with good spindles holding up the shelves. In the passage behind the bar the counter is genuinely old but the shutters above have recently been covered by a large map; and the floor to ceiling panelling dates from Victorian times. A dining room and family conservatory lie further back. Outside toilets.
