The Westleton Crown Westleton, Suffolk, IP17 3AD

  • 34 bedrooms

A short drive from Dunwich & RSPB Minsmere

The Westleton Crown is a dog and family friendly country inn set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Taking pride of place on the edge of Westleton village green, a short drive from Dunwich, it is the sort of place where muddy boots are set by the door, and long lunches roll easily into the evening. Their bedrooms are the perfect base for exploring RSPB Minsmere, Dunwich Heath and the sweeping beaches of the Suffolk Heritage Coast. Newly refurbished, the interiors are inspired by the wildlife and landscape that wraps itself around the pub.

Telegraph Travel wrote: “A popular, 12th-century coaching inn in a peaceful village with a large, dog-friendly collection of unfussy rooms, some in separate annexes, within a 10-minute drive of the coast. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed; book a stay for old world character, with cosy fires in the winter and outdoor dining in the summer.”
