Breakfast was very good. Decor of main house was very good, a bit dark & gloomy though. Staffing issues. Owners seemed to lack interest. The lady that was possibly the main cook was very friendly but had a very scruffy appearance & smelt heavily of cigarettes. A beautiful property, but not run efficiently. Signage was very poor & the owner agreed that Sat Nav instructions were very unclear. The Hotel should give prior warning of this & give specific directions.
Blyth Hotel is located in the seaside town of Southwold, on the Suffolk coast. This beautifully restored Edwardian property offers an à la carte restaurant, a bar and free parking.

Friendly welcome, help given with a heavy case.
Room ok, bed seemed new, and was big. Decor was a bit tired in places.

We had a few issues with our room window blind and the safe access and they were dealt with immediately and efficiently which was great, thank you. Breakfast was delicious, served to us no getting up to help yourselves, how it should be. Room was lovely bright and airy. All amenities on the doorstep the town was just a stap away, all so accessible for everything.
Midway between Southwold and Aldeburgh, this modernised, rustic inn has an excellent restaurant and refurbished, stylish rooms. It is an ideal base for exploring the Suffolk Heritage Coast.

Dunwich is a tiny place but well known in Norfolk and Suffolk for walks and bird-watching as well as the history of the lost town, so don't go there for the night-life. However it is a great base to visit nearby Walberswick, Westleton, Southwold and a bit further Aldeburgh - either by car, bike or on foot depending on weather and mobility. Great area for dog walkers.
We stayed and ate in The Ship Inn, and for the second night we ate at The Crown in Westleton 2.5 miles away.
We were late in the season so the village museum was closed but there was other interpretation around, and ruins to visit. Unless you have a car or bike, you would need to be on a walking tour as it is a long way from anywhere by foot. There is a 6.5mile round walk to Southwold I believe

Pleasant room, tasteful decor and lighting, but overlooking a noisy courtyard. On balance we felt the room over priced.
Great location and restaurant food very tasty and well presented, although insufficient options for vegetarians and vegans.
Staff let the place down; they didn't know where we should store our bikes and also it was our wedding anniversary and we had asked for a specific table to be reserved. This was on the booking, but not followed through by staff on the night.

The beach is fantastic for walking in both directions.
The beach is fantastic for walking in both directions. There are circular walks for those who are fit. Beach never appears to have rubbish and dog friendly.
Dunwich a very small village with really just the Ship Inn and the museum. In the summers months there is a cafe on the beach.
Car parking at the beach is free so a real bonus.

Great walking and scenery.
Great walking and scenery. Got lost for a short while on the Sandlings forest walk but found my way back. There's really nothing to do but visit the pub, a small museum, a church and the beach but that was enough for me.
The Ship at Dunwich is full of character and is quite quirky. We were able to eat dinner either inside, where there was a full menu, or outside in the "Field Kitchen" which served pizzas as well as a limited selection of main courses. Breakfast was very nice and could be eaten either inside or in the outside area. My husband loved the selection of ales available. I believe it is a favourite for dog owners as there are lots of walks to be found in the forest. The staff could not have been more helpful.
We had hoped, and prior communications had seemed to suggest, that the disadvantages for my disabled/mobility scooter-dependent partner would be fewer than proved to be the case. Partly at least our problem - we should have appreciated the consequences of the age and situation of the hotel. Staff, however, were as helpful as they could be.
Clean, comfy, good food and a superb location just behind Dunwich beach. Lovely short walks from the Ship up to Greyfriars and along to the church and beach to start each day. Quiet from mid-late evening at this time of year. Good coffee in the room.
Great to be a short walk from Dunwich Beach. Busy at times but quieter than Southwold. Good location for exploring Sutton Hoo, Snape Maltings, Southwold & Aldeburgh. Staff very friendly and food quality excellent.
Very welcoming. busy and convivial. Great room, great food, good beer and wine selection.
Beautiful location in historic Dunwich, a short walk from the beach
The breakfast was very good.
As we had to be in Dunwich, the location was perfect.
Evening meals were good - but rather more expensive than I'd have liked.
The food for both dinner and breakfast was very good. The location was perfect next to the beach and teh overall hotel was wonderful especially the staff
