    We liked the individuality of Southwold and in particular its art galleries where there is a lot of art work of quality and reasonably priced. The quirky pier is appealing (despite the fact that the splendid water-clock is currently out of order) and the sandy beach is a joy to walk along. Out Saturday night meal at Coasters was one of the highlights of our stay with great food and service. A bonus we appreciated was the fact that parking was free in the car park near the town centre, an absolute rarity for contemporary England!

    Beautiful weekend spent enjoying the brewery tour, eating in the swan hotel, a walk along the pier and beach path. There are some very good artisan bakerys, and 2 wonderful fish and chip shops. Wished we would have had the time to visit the lighthouse.

    Lovely sandy beach with a long promenade.

    Lovely sandy beach with a long promenade. Pier had two cafes and a couple of nice gift shops. Town center had a good selection of shops and was clean and tidy. There was a very nice putting green with a small cafe. Liked it so much we are returning later this year

    We had never been to Southwold before.

    We had never been to Southwold before. We stayed in the area because we were attending a wedding at Henham Park. What a delightful surprise! From the beach and colourful beach huts, to the lovely independent shops and plenty of cafes, pubs and restaurants it had the unspoilt charm of times gone by. We especially enjoyed the harbour area and were only sorry that we were just there for a long weekend . We’ll definitely come back and explore more.

    Although Southwold is best seen on a warm, sunny, wind-free...

    Although Southwold is best seen on a warm, sunny, wind-free day, we enjoyed our trip at the end of April, despite the cold wind! We walked to Walberswick and back along the paths available, stopping at a lovely café there before continuing the walk. We crossed the river via the ferry (£2.00 each) which saved us from a longer trip. There is a good, sandy beach with dunes if warm, & a pier selling drinks & lunch at the far end of the town. Opposite the pier is a small Putting Green & café. We stayed at The Crown which was central to the various quality shops, a lovely bakery & the Adnams brewery/shop. There is a range of pubs to suit all tastes & several teashops to choose from. Car parking is at each end of the town, but if hills are a problem, I would suggest parking at the top car park rather than at the pier end. There is also a lighthouse in the centre of town which offers tours. All in all, a good day out!

    A real seaside gem.

    A real seaside gem. Plenty of pubs (but they do get busy in the season) shops and a long beach with a pier. The afternoon tea at the Swan I would declare the best I've ever had. The adnams brewery and distillary tours are worth doing if of interest. A place of charm, pleasent walks, slowly drunk coffees and letting the world slow down a bit.

    Very nice hotel in a prime high street location in Southwold. A little pricey but overall we were happy with our stay. Staff were very friendly/helpful and the onsite parking was a real boost. Our room was a little quirky but its an old building with beams, low ceilings, etc. Very clean and the 'no dogs' policy is particularly refreshing these days. Excellent breakfast served by friendly and enthusiastic staff. I would stay here again if visiting Southwold in the future.

    The upstairs flat is perfect for a person travelling on their own: it is compact but wonderfully furnished, plenty enough for one but doesn't feel cramped or small. Kitchen is well equipped, bedroom is lovely. The flat is lovely and light and does not feel claustrophobic. It is located right in the centre of Southwold, above a shop but there's no disturbances from this, and with the flat at the back of the building, there's no street noise either.

    Good Breakfast choice served well. The room was spacious and clean with all the amenities. Dinner used local products and was well served. The hotel had character and was quietly relaxing. The staff were all excellent. It had parking facilities off road and was ideally situated in the centre of town. The prices were reasonable and the wine and drinks menu suited all tastes.

    We loved the location and The Swan had a reputation for one of the best places to go. The staff were excellent and friendly. The breakfast was super efficient and lovely. The town was a great shopping experience with boutique shops and small shops that are high street chains.

    Everything….the cleanliness, location, food were great! Also nice and quiet. However, I didn’t realize we were getting the small room, my reservation led me to believe we had the garden room. But as I mentioned, the more important aspects of the room/hotel were great!
