THE SHIP AT DUNWICH
The Ship is just a three-minute stroll from the beach. In winter, open log fires create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, while in summer, the light and airy rooms and sheltered suntraps in the pub garden invite you to relax and enjoy the off-season sunshine. Seasonal, locally sourced dishes are paired perfectly with a pint of beer or a glass of Pinot.
We welcome the whole family for just a short mini-break or a longer stay at our dog-friendly pub rooms. These inviting spaces are a home away from home, offering 16 unique styles inspired by big skies, golden sands and ocean waves. Whether you're looking to unwind, connect with loved ones, or simply enjoy a moment of peace, you'll find a haven for a perfect night’s sleep.
