Fabulous location in beautiful Dunwich. Lovely breakfast. Ate dinner in the garden in the sunshine which was really lovely and relaxed. The fish and chips were delicious. All the staff were really helpful and friendly.

Disappointing, I won't be going back until I see some positive change.

Location

Shabby, rooms needed a good proper deep clean, especially the bathroom. Food unappetising, small menu with weird interpretations of the offering-no salad in a Nicoise salad! Rubbery lamb Kofta. This is not how we remember the Ship, it seems to have lost its way which is really sad. I hope some one can sort it out and bring it back to how it was.

Location beatiful

Room basic. Fan noisy and didn't work..Food appalling. We did complain but only begrudgingly did they knock money off with no apologies just excuses.

The staff were very friendly and an excellent freshly cooked breakfast served to the table

9.0

Lovely old property with character.

Not keen on dogs in the breakfast room. It is unhygienic and It was difficult for the waitress to navigate around the tables .
