STAY THE NIGHT

in bright and beachy decadence

From the rustic driftwood feature walls in the very affordable Cosy Doubles, to the Deluxe Sea View rooms with their spacious beach-chic interiors, you’ll be sure to anchor down and slumber in style.

So much more than a beachside inn that just ‘tolerates’ dogs, its restaurant, rooms and bar area are 100% woof-approved. The team at The Ship Inn invite your pooch to stay, dine and make themselves at home.

Discover the

NEIGHBOURHOOD

North Norfolk has miles of winding coastline waiting to be explored. From sand dunes to clifftops, this area has it all. The coastline is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it one of the UK's most cherished landscapes. The AONB covers 56 miles of coastline and includes Hunstanton, Wells-next-the-Sea, Blakeney, Sheringham, Cromer and Mundesley.

One of the biggest draws is perhaps the famous seal colony at Blakeney Point. There are around 500 common and grey seals around the harbour. Visit in the summer months or late winter to see the pups.
