Our room was beautifully decorated and the beds were v comfortable. The food was excellent throughout our stay 2 dinners and 2 breakfasts. The location couldn't be beaten literally a 3 minute walk to the beach. Dunwich itself is quiet and peaceful.

    Excellent location- right by town short walk to beach, 15mins to harbour.. Opposite common - great to walk or sit with a drink and watch the sunset. Parking space - would be difficult to park otherwise. Very much home from home type of place. Very comfy beds and lovely linen. Downstairs loo - great for my elderly mum.

    The Sail Loft is in the perfect location for us, we loved being across the road from the beach, you can walk in one direction to the pier another to the harbour and another to the high street and we enjoyed getting the little ferry (rowing boat) across to Walberswick. The staff at The Sail Loft were so accommodating and the food was fabulous. The room was excellent, clean and comfortable with lovely views from both aspects.

    Downstairs self contained flat, perfect if you have a disability, we don't but appreciated the accessibility. Perfect location, 1 min walk to the beach, or opposite direction, 1 min and you're in the town. Perfect for retail therapy, close enough to drop bags off and go back for more. Beautiful walks/footpaths close by which pass by lovely coffee shop on your return

    Great location - next door to a local co-op grocery store and walking distance to the Anchor pub and beach. Lovely gardens and facilities, including off street parking. The house is great for a family seaside holiday.
