Dunwich is a tiny place but well known in Norfolk and Suffolk for walks and bird-watching as well as the history of the lost town, so don't go there for the night-life. However it is a great base to visit nearby Walberswick, Westleton, Southwold and a bit further Aldeburgh - either by car, bike or on foot depending on weather and mobility. Great area for dog walkers.
We stayed and ate in The Ship Inn, and for the second night we ate at The Crown in Westleton 2.5 miles away.
We were late in the season so the village museum was closed but there was other interpretation around, and ruins to visit. Unless you have a car or bike, you would need to be on a walking tour as it is a long way from anywhere by foot. There is a 6.5mile round walk to Southwold I believe

Pleasant room, tasteful decor and lighting, but overlooking a noisy courtyard. On balance we felt the room over priced.
Great location and restaurant food very tasty and well presented, although insufficient options for vegetarians and vegans.
Staff let the place down; they didn't know where we should store our bikes and also it was our wedding anniversary and we had asked for a specific table to be reserved. This was on the booking, but not followed through by staff on the night.

The beach is fantastic for walking in both directions.
The beach is fantastic for walking in both directions. There are circular walks for those who are fit. Beach never appears to have rubbish and dog friendly.
Dunwich a very small village with really just the Ship Inn and the museum. In the summers months there is a cafe on the beach.
Car parking at the beach is free so a real bonus.

Great walking and scenery.
Great walking and scenery. Got lost for a short while on the Sandlings forest walk but found my way back. There's really nothing to do but visit the pub, a small museum, a church and the beach but that was enough for me.
The hotel is ideally located for visits to local beauty spots (e.g. Dunwich Heath) and attractive towns (Southwold, Aldeburgh). The breakfast food was good (I particularly liked the muesli) and our evening meals were also well prepared and tasty, with plenty of choice. The staff were friendly and happy to please. The good-sized bathroom with bath was a definite plus.
We loved our room and the fact that it was cleaned everyday. It was in a quiet area of the hotel and the bed was very comfortable. The facilities in the room were more than adequate. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The "Ship" was very busy during our stay, but they were extremely helpful.
The food was lovely, especially the generous portion of breakfast.
The location was beautiful - near the sea and some lovely walks. The menu was excellent for dinner so we didn't have to travel to eat. Breakfast was also brilliant - with a great choice of breakfast menu. It was in easy reach of Dunwich Heath and MInsmere and we even saw the elusive Dartford Warbler AND a Bittern.
Friendly greeting by both owner and staff.
Very accommodating overall and the facilities were excellent. Our energetic pooch was tolerated during our short stay. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel /Inn located in a beautiful part of Suffolk.
Clean, comfy, good food and a superb location just behind Dunwich beach. Lovely short walks from the Ship up to Greyfriars and along to the church and beach to start each day. Quiet from mid-late evening at this time of year. Good coffee in the room.
Great to be a short walk from Dunwich Beach. Busy at times but quieter than Southwold. Good location for exploring Sutton Hoo, Snape Maltings, Southwold & Aldeburgh. Staff very friendly and food quality excellent.
Fantastic evening meal, dreamy nights sleep and amazing cooked breakfast all in a beautiful location ready for our visit to NT Dunwich Heath and RSPB Minsmere
The food for both dinner and breakfast was very good. The location was perfect next to the beach and teh overall hotel was wonderful especially the staff
