A traditional village pub between coast, woodland and heath

Welcome To The Westleton Crown

At the heart of the village, The Westleton Crown, near Southwold, is a traditional pub with rooms. Just minutes from dog-friendly Dunwich beach and on the edge of RSPB Minsmere – it is perfectly placed for exploring the Suffolk coast. Stop by for a pint, stay for supper, or settle in for a few days. It’s easy to switch off here, restful from the moment you arrive.

Good Food, Relaxed Setting

Our kitchen follows the seasons, with menus shaped by what’s close by and at its best. From a relaxed lunch to a proper supper or Sunday roast, it’s food you’ll recognise, cooked with care and served without fuss. Order what you fancy and take your time.

Stay The Night, Settle Into It

Our rooms are comfortable, quiet and thoughtfully put together, easy to settle into. A good night’s sleep comes easily here, whether you’re staying after supper or making a few days of it. Dogs are welcome too, so no one has to miss out on a few nights away by the coast.

Explore Countryside And Coast

There’s plenty to see nearby, from walks across heath and woodland to the sea at Dunwich, just down the road. Take a look at our explore page for ideas, or head out and find your own pace. It’s all within easy reach, then back here when you’re ready.

Behind The Bar

The bar is at the heart of it all – well-kept ales, a considered wine list and something for every taste. Whether it’s a quick pint, a glass before supper or a night that stretches a little longer, it’s an easy place to settle in and feel part of things.
