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.
The staff were very friendly and great fun to talk to. The building itself and the rooms were very nice and were as you would expect for a building of that age and the bar/food area were very up to date as well.
Of course it's never going to be a Hilton hotel, but it sure has character and is perfect for Southwold, myself, my partner and our Jack Russell will be back for sure.
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.
After an initial confusion about which door to get in (we realised we were trying to open the cupboard!) we managed to get into the flat, and it was beautiful. Every comfort imaginable. The host was excellent and sorted out a couple of queries immediately even though it was a Saturday night. I would highly recommend the flat, right in the centre of beautiful Southwold.
The house was home from home. There was everything you could have wanted, including some lovely little welcome gifts. It was warm, comfy and spotless. And in comparison to other Southwold properties, this was spacious. Communication from Trish the owner was outstanding. We REALLY LOVED our time.in this house.
Really lovely hotel in the heat of Southwold town centre.
Crisps and two beers in the room was a nice touch.
Dinner was great.
Won't be important to many people but the music in the dining room was excellent. Can't remember hearing Beach Fossils anywhere I've stayed before. Kudos for the sounds.
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.
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!
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.
Location is fantastic. Lots more personality than larger hotels. Staff fantastic - special mention to Tom and Shannon - and food delicious! We were in Southwold Friday night to Sunday morning and had all our meals at the Sail Loft
A hotel with a real sense of luxury and ideally located in the heart of Southwold. An ideal base for exploring this beautiful part of Suffolk. The wonderfully furnished and equipped bedroom took my breath away.
Property mostly in good condition and room is spacious.
The hotel is mostly modernised and looks good.
Excellent position for the sea. A little too far to walk with a young family.
Breakfast was good
Excellent famous hotel in the heart of Southwold. Perfectly located and staffed with super friendly and efficient staff. The restaurant was also up to the same high standard with a wonderful menu.
Everything had been thought of for a wonderful stay at this dog friendly cottage. Warm and comfortable with a great shower and secure garden. Really enjoyed our stay.
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.
