The hotel was in a great location in Southwold which is a lovely, unspoilt coastal Suffolk town. The staff were really friendly, chatty and helpful. Apart from the first evening where we enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast, we ate out to enjoy other pubs and restaurants in Southwold, but the breakfasts were excellent.

We knew there was no restaurant or bar on the premises due to flooding last year but the room was very well decorated and clean, spacious and well equipped. Shower room was very good too. Tom phoned me soon after booking to ensure we were fully aware of the restaurant closure which showed good service.
I inadvertently left a bag behind when checking out and I rang Tom a few hours later when we realised what had happened. Tom said he would check it out and rang me back soon afterwards to confirm the bag had been found and has offered to retain it until I next visit Suffolk in a few weeks time.
The Sail Loft is not in the centre of the village but it only takes 10-15 minutes to walk in, which we did both evenings we stayed. The location was very good for walks to Walberswick, around Southwold fens and along the coast

Very friendly host and staff. Lovely large comfortable room. Very good breakfast and coffee and lots of it.

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.

We were out of season and some cafes closed at 3pm which we weren’t expecting but several restaurants, pubs and cafes in the town centre.
The pier arcade was open and you could have a tour of the lighthouse plus the brewery.
We walked to Walberswick (no ferry available until April) and some nice cafes there too!
Lovely sandy beach and lots of nice fish dishes to eat along with many different Adnams beverages!

It was a great place to visit.
It was a great place to visit. Southwold in it self is quite small. There were a number of different jobs and local landmarks to visit which we enjoyed. Car parking prices were reasonable. Despite some places were closed, we still made the most of it and enjoyed our visit. There were definitely sufficient food places to choose from which were quite happy with. The shops were varied between local shops and bigger branded shops. The landmarks we visited were good too. You could probably see most of Southwold within a day. If everything was open and it was in the summer time, you would probably need more than a day to visit every inch of Southwold.

Never stayed in the Blyth Hotel before so was pleased to find it was dog friendly. The breakfast was good, the fish pie was lovely and it felt very relaxed and informal. Room felt uncluttered but warm and cosy,
We usually stay in The Swan but they don't take dogs. Also the reception staff were unhelpful when trying to book afternoon tea for one of our days, saying the kitchen would be closed. Walking past the kitchen looked pretty much open judging by the number of people that were in there. Make your own conclusions on that one but I doubt they will have much of our custom in the future.
Also try the Sole Bay Inn, dog friendly and good beer and food - you can't book in advance for grub. Bear in mind this is Feb so the Pier was completely closed until the season opens.

Southwold is lovely and picturesque, atmosphere is like going back in time. All the shops and staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. We stayed and ate in the crown, highly recommended. We also ate at Coasters which again was perfect and highly recommended. You can walk around Southwold, no need for transport. Lovely, welcoming town with plenty to do in the winter months. The beach walk we took was peaceful and relaxing. We felt completely relaxed and rejuvenated upon our return home. Advice is to book your evening meals before you arrive, we witnessed many people not being able to book tables obviously because everyone wants to eat in the lovely hotels and restaurants, there is also a lovely fish and chip shop who cook to order should you not be able to book a table so no one goes hungry. Lunchtime is an ideal time to visit the many bakers to have a cuppa and lovely fresh snacks. The Sailors library is a must visit
We stayed in squirrel. Lovely accommodation, small kitchen and sitting area and bathroom downstairs then lovely bedroom upstairs. Our daughter stayed on camp bed. Small seating area outside, has beautiful gardens surrounding. Great breakfast one morning (extra). Everything was very good, very welcoming, great advice on places to go. Really good location, short drive into Southwold but good spot for travelling further down coast - we also visited Aldeburgh, Orford and Snape.
Firstly all the staff were wonderful. Helpful, funny and very friendly. Breakfasts were great, good choices and plenty of it. We were a group of ten family members and everyone loved the hotel and staff. Just off the bar was an area with couches where we could all sit together which was wonderful.
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!
Everything went very smoothly. The hotel staff were all very friendly and efficient. The room was comfy with everything in it that I would have wanted fo find. Breakfast was lovely. Location of the hotel couldn't be better, being right in the centre of Southwold.
Staff were superb, friendly and incredibly helpful.
Food was fabulous and dietary requirements were fully accommodated for, including for guests who visited us at the hotel.
Hotel was a lovely distance from the town, with a nice 15 minute walk to the beach.
A unique experience.
Huge (and I mean really big) room with comfy beds and luxurious bedding.
Very nice helpful staff.
Fabulous breakfast.
Interesting building - rustic luxury.
Good spot for exploring Suffolk coast by car or bike.
Great location and facilities. Comfortable bed and clean. Two couples went and had a great time, we will look at availability next time we are staying in Southwold. Would recommend to anyone.
quiet room, very warm and well fitted out. Comfortable bed and large showeroom. Good supply of teas, coffees and bathroom toiletries. Very easy to walk into Southwold for a meal (10mins).
Beautifully converted room. With beautiful en suite with bath and shower. Plenty of wood beams, very atmospheric.
Easy to get to Wangford or Southwold for dinner.
Great breakfast and v civilised time 9:30 to 11:00 Great location right on the beach 5 minute walk to Southwold 10-15 minutes to old harbour and Walberswick ferry
