Days Out Are For Dogs Too

That’s our way of flagging the places that go further — beyond “dogs allowed”, with a genuinely warm welcome for dogs inside.

The Ship is a warm coastal pub with rooms in Southwold, situated near Dunwich Beach, heathland and the nature reserve. That straightforward access is the detail that turns a quick drink or meal into a genuine break for the whole group. Dogs are welcome inside and the pub makes a reliable stop for visitors heading out to explore the surrounding area.
All-day food and drinks keep both humans and hounds satisfied between adventures. That simple inclusion is especially useful when the weather turns or the day needs a proper sit-down pause.
For anyone planning a coastal day that includes the beach or the nature reserve, the Ship offers the comfort of keeping your dog with you over a meal or a drink. Rather than leaving them outside or heading back early, you can settle in together indoors.

Dog Policy:
