    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 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.

    staff were friendly and helpful breakfast was excellent room was bright and airey. Unlike most hotels who use saving the planet and sustainability as an excuse save money by not servicing room the staff here asked if we wanted room serviced. Good old fashioned service with a smile. Tip try and park undercover as the seagulls are lethal . Well done the Crown👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 mist definitely our place to stay whenever we visit southwold or close by.

    Excellent breakfasts and main courses at dinner. Light clean and well appointed room . Sense of history in the property going back a century. I felt very looked after and putcat ease by the staff.I enjoyed being somewhat away from Southwold, which was within walking distance . Liked the quiet location.Rather nice objects around the hotel. The music in the bar was well chosen.

    Great location! The hotel is situated in close proximity to Southwold pier. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I was finding it hard to get Wifi in my room and they went above and beyond to get this fixed. The breakfast was good and overall I was happy with my stay. This is my second time and will definitely be coming soon :)

    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.
