The location was ideal for exploring Aldeburgh, with some great pubs nearby for dinner. Thank you for a perfect stay!"

In an area as steeped in history as the Suffolk Coast, it takes something special to stand out. Dunwich manages to do just this. Known as the lost city of England, this tiny village certainly has a story to tell.

Dating back to Anglo-Saxon times, Dunwich once stood proud as the capital of the Kingdom of the Eastern Angles, at its mightiest matching 14th century London for size. It was a seat of power for the Anglo-Saxon bishops for centuries, an international port, and the Domesday book of 1086 puts the population at over 3000.

The little village of Dunwich was once a thriving seaport; but over the centuries the sea reclaimed the town leaving not much behind except for a wonderful stretch of beach. This expanse of shingle seems to go on forever in both directions, backed by low crumbling cliffs.

Dunwich beach is set in a break between the cliffs where the road literally ends on the beach. Here you will find a number of small boats pulled up on the sand and a the National Trust tearoom.
In fact, the National Trust own the beach and much of the surrounding countryside including Dunwich Heath which runs along the coast. This whole area is teeming with wildlife which thrive in these rare habitats.

Just a short drive from Dunwich you will find RSPB Minsmere. Here you can spend a day spotting some the UKs rarest birds and wildlife including the Avocet, Bittern, Otter and Red Deer.

Super and cozy

"What a wonderful place to stay in Suffolk. The food was really tasty and good size portions. I stayed overnight and my room was really cozy, peaceful and had a balcony overlooking the back garden. The staff were super lovely and friendly. I would stay again if I am ever in the area in the future."

2/5 Poor

Attention to DETAIL needed

"1. The STEP ups and downs between rooms are DANGEROUS for older people! HEALTH AND SAFETY would not be impressed. Just a clear white marking would solve this. 2. Inadequate seating in TV room. PLUS old settee needs updating. Only three people seated .Take out desk and replace with comfortable armchairs. 3. Info on wifi incorrect BUT was solved two days later by SADIE emailing correct codes. 4 Dirty dishes in cupboard by door to garden 5 No batteries in a TV control in other room PLUS no channels available. 6 First aid box needs updating with compartments clearly marked. Everything was just stuffed in haphazardly 7Shower curtains should be replaced with folding doors as water cascaded into floor. 8. New pans especially frying pan. We were 5 ! How 10 would manage I do NOT KNOW. To summarise ,just a visit from a suitable official is badly needed to address these points. This BEAUTIFUL house deserves it!!"
