Difficult to add to the other reviewers' praise for this very traditional east coast hotel; highlights for us included the large size and quality of the room - number 9 - which was great value on a 2-night midweek dinner-inclusive deal; and so pleasant that this overcomes the slight downside of the view over the car park to the brewery-...

Southwold is an affluent tourist destination on the East Coast of England in Suffolk, and it's a very well cared for, thriving place.
