The staff were very friendly and helpful, we really felt welcome. Inside and outside dining with courtyard area and beer garden. I liked the slightly quirky building with several small dining rooms. Food was good and typical pub prices. The location is very quiet and nearby houses are hidden away. It’s only about 3 minutes walk to a fantastic beach, 5 minutes to the parish church and under 8 minutes to a monastery ruin. There is even a local museum a few houses up from the pub. It was a perfect way to spend a beautiful summers evening. We enjoyed our visit and would consider staying there again. ![Beach only a few minutes walk away](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C9475D9DE92C59CAF4BA4B4D726554D08FC824611719422091881.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Eamonn Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### stephen Jul 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness We have stayed at this property many times and have always enjoyed it for its position. Slightly disappointed this time as I paid for a superior room and I am not sure that is what we had. It was ok but not as nice as the other rooms we have had before. The service in the bar area was also very slow as it was not permanently managed. ##### stephen Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Lovely stay but not 5 star . We stayed for one night and the room and bathroom was very clean and all members of the staff were both very helpful and polite. Did not get 5 stars due to the smell we found in the bathroom. When the shower door was opened there was a bad drain smell that made it difficult to have a shower. It was mentioned on our departure and was noted but nothing came our way . ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Anna Sep 22, 2024 A nice stay but a few things could’ve been improved. Food was lovely and staff were friendly. However they just don’t have enough staff so the service was really slow. The room wasn’t great for the money we paid either. It was overlooked a bit and next to the kitchen so outside was a bit scruffy. The toilet was broken too and my husband had to fix it. Parking was a bit of an issue too. When we arrived we couldn’t even get a space on the same road. Lovely location though as walkable to beach. ##### Anna Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jennifer Aug 5, 2024 Staff are wonderful. More thought needs to be put into how guests can store their belongings as space is so limited. Huge bedside lamps aren’t great when you have a book, reading glasses, phone and water by the bed - equally having a extra large kettle, tray, tea and coffee tins and jars taking up the whole surface of the desk is not useful. The same applies to the bathroom - at the very least provide a toothbrush holder and a shelf to store bathroom bits and pieces, we had to place our washing bags on the floor. More hanging hooks are also needed - ##### Jennifer Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Rebecca Sep 18, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Overall very nice. Bedroom very small but better furniture placement could help with that. Room felt a bit dungeon like with the high windows. Bath tub needed re-grouting and a non-slip bath mat should be made available. Cobwebs on front door weren’t too welcoming. Just a little shabby overall. Location wonderful. Relaxing and peaceful. And the fish and chips were just not good :-( ##### Rebecca Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Simon Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service We stayed as part of our honeymoon and I had requested a bottle of prosecco in the room prior to arrival (for £30) which did not happen. The room was ok (off the carpark) and food was good but the service from staff although friendly was very slow. The bar often didn't have anyone behind it (out the back in the kitchen) and once we'd finished our mains the plates were not collected and we gave up on trying to order a desert and then waited at the bar to settle our bill. Also, we waited to check out as there was nobody at the desk. It was a real shame as this hotel and restaurant has everything as it is in a perfect location with great walks and that's why we chose it for part of our honeymoon. Service and little details make a big difference and this hotel could easily move from being average to fantastic with a few minor tweaks and attention to detail ! ##### Simon Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrian May 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great getaway. Highly recommended! My partner and I recently enjoyed a delightful 2-night stay at The Ship Inn, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by warm and welcoming staff who made us feel right at home. The accommodation was not only spotlessly clean but also charmingly quirky, adding a unique touch to our stay. Despite being mid-week, the pub buzzed with activity, filled with friendly locals that added to the cozy atmosphere. We made an advance dinner reservation at the dining area and were impressed by the menu selection and the quality of the food. Both the restaurant and pub staff were incredibly attentive and professional throughout our meal, ensuring a memorable experience. Breakfast was a treat with a nice selection of options available, all served to our table by cheerful staff, which was a lovely touch compared to self-serve setups. The location of The Ship Inn, just a stone's throw from the beach, was an added bonus, allowing us to enjoy leisurely strolls by the seaside. Overall, we felt incredibly well looked after during our stay and cannot wait to return. The Ship Inn truly offers a perfect blend of comfort, hospitality and charm, making it an ideal choice for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommended! ##### Adrian Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Avril Sep 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property is a real find. It has character and it is reasonably priced for the service received. Breakfasts were great and reasonable choices for our 2 night dinner stay. Very close to a pebbly beach and not far from Southwold, Aldburagh, Norwich and the broads. ![Bedroom](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/50069348-c318-4575-81b1-6c7f7171eae9-1758925485297.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Bedroom](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a058cf1b-a3f6-4f07-85dd-d50b9f842c15-1758925484873.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Dunwich beach ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aea5cb05-12cf-4aeb-a2d2-7349a92c817f-1758925484322.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The Ship ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d86a808e-256d-43c6-8ac3-7caa4064720b-1758925563825.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Avril Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ramada by Wyndham Lac La Biche](https://www.expedia.ca/Lac-La-Biche-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Lac-La-Biche.h2803845.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Fashion-Outlets-Of-Niagara-Falls-Hotels.0-l6140673-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fairmont Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-The-Fairmont-Winnipeg.h26715.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aYVR-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Conrad-Tulum.h70501666.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Cancun (CUN) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cun/yvr/cancun-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Windsor (YQG) to Beirut (BEY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqg/bey/windsor-to-beirut) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Cranbrook (YXC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yxc/vancouver-to-cranbrook) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Fort McMurray (YMM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ymm/vancouver-to-fort-mcmurray) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Fort Myers (RSW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/rsw/toronto-to-fort-myers) > > [Flights from Houston (IAH) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/iah/yvr/houston-to-vancouver) ### Activities ### General
