The staff were brilliant, friendly and professional. The room was clean and comfortable. The complimentary biscuits were amazing. I wish they’d had bags of them for sale! The breakfast was also amazing, the best scrambled eggs I’ve ever tasted. The hotel was in an excellent location. A short walk into beautiful Southwold. We would definitely love to stay again.

A Light, airy flat, with stunning views all around Southwold. Very quiet, but with wonderful birdsong due to the nearby trees. Lovely local artworks adorn the walls. A very good kitchen. The owner clearly loves the flat and has made it a beautiful space to enjoy.

    Southwold is a lovely seaside town with individual shops, pubs and restaurants. Lovely walks along the beach to the pier and also to the Harbour where you can get the little ferry over to Walberswick. We ate at the Red Lion pub, excellent menu and specials board. Lots of Adnams beers on sale in all the pubs and the brewery itself.

    Hotel situated in the town, which is always busy, no matter what day. A good mix of cafes, shops and hotels. It's a 2mins walk to the beach with many pubs around. Would highly recommend the Adnams Lighthouse tour.. was about 1hr long with a very knowledgeable and amusing guide. Been back here a few times and never disappointed.

    Fishing from the pier was a great hit with our grandson even though what he caught was too small to keep. The guy at Fisherman and Friends was very helpful with advice and fishing gear. The Sail Loft in Southwold was a great restaurant with good food and staff . We wanted to eat dinner at Sole Bay Inn in Southwold but you can't book and we could not get a table for 5 adults and 2 children even by turning up early. The Swan at Barnby was a brilliant place for lunch with great fish, good service and play area outside for children. You must book in advance though.

    There was so much to like about this hotel: the staff were great especially Bradley who welcomed us; the food which was excellent (I particularly liked the local kippers for breakfast); the room - we stayed in the Churchill Suite which was perfect and very relaxing and comfortable. But what I liked most was the small touches like the home made tartare sauce and the home made jam and marmalade which all tasted superb. We also liked the fact that locals use the place unlike in central Southwold

    Stylish hotel with comfort, quality and hospitality at its heart. Superb facilities-the proximity to the towns amenities, own secure parking, tasty breakfast and attentiveness of staff set this hotel apart from others we have stayed at in the past in Southwold.
