    • The staff & their total attitude ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ
    • Great location with good views across the marshes from the room.
    • breakfast room also the dining room, not too noisy as we both have hearing issues,,,,lovely enjoyable atmosphere when we dined in the evenings, staff very friendly and couldn,t be more helpful.Food was excellent. choices good .....everything we liked it was a great idea having separate entrance for house guests. Also Car Parking ..... excellent facilities. and thanks to the young man who moved his motorbike for us to park easier.

    Cons -

    • Breakfast was excellent BUT 9:30 to start should be from 8:30.. lots of early walkers want breakfast earlier..
    • We thought 9.30 was a little late to start serving breakfast.
    • choice of more breakfast cereals, with perhaps fresh fruit.

    Perfect location, food was excellent, the room was spacious and we had a great view of the sea.Will definitely return in the near future.

    Would have preferred a shower cubicle as opposed to a bath

    9ElsiePosted on: 7-13-2025

    Loved it was right by the beach and a short walk into town.

    No where to sit and enjoy a drink as a resident, its a very popular restaurant bar and you need to book to get a seat, no separate area for residents to enjoy a drink closed by 9.30pm. I realise they may stay open longer during the summer holidays but the weather was glorius and they are missing an opportunity to put a little more money in the till, no fridge in the rooms so we could get a cold drink late evening.

    Fantastic inn/pub. Manager is very nice and remembers all his guests. Really enjoyed the room very clean and comfortable and the location is great!

    9JanePosted on: 5-22-2025

    Excellent location,opposite the beach and looking back across Southwold common. Great room, very clean and well equipped,comfortable bed and added bonus of patio. Excellent breakfast and dinner and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend and return to

    9LouisPosted on: 5-1-2025

    I have stayed her many times. So nice to see standards maintained, its as good if not better than my first visit many years ago. Breakfast great.

    I love to position on the way to the harbour..... but its a fair walk into town.

    Reasonably priced B&B in Southwold. Only one not under the ownership of Adams! Easily accessible for our walking holiday and available at short notice. Nicely appointed room at the top of the house.

    Unfortunately running under winter hours. Means breakfast not served till 9:30 am, not best for getting started on the next leg of our walking holiday. The shower was a handheld affair over the bath, which was freestanding within the room. Luckily the water pressure was low so we didnโ€™t cause a flood.

    Very accommodating staff allowing us an early check inDinner was great, very efficient friendly staffView from room across fields

    The smell of cooking from the kitchen in the roomBreakfast starting at 9:30am would prefer earlier!

    9WilliamPosted on: 4-15-2025

    Lovely, quiet, warm room. Amazing views over the dunes, sea and marshes. The superior room is definitely worth paying extra for.

    The roof lines on the kitchen were a bit scruffy

    10MalcolmPosted on: 4-12-2025

    Great location. Friendly & helpful staff. Excellent food. Comfortable room with lovely views.

    9KeeleyPosted on: 4-11-2025

    Lovely stay at this place. Very friendly staff, great food, drink and accommodation.

    10AshleyPosted on: 4-11-2025

    Excellent location, very friendly & helpful staff and delicious food. My room also had a sun deck which was great for soaking up the sun during the day and stargazing at night under that huge Suffolk sky!

    The pillows on the bed were a bit flat.

    10JohnPosted on: 4-9-2025

    Great accommodation with our own sun terrace. Lovely people. Great breakfast and evening meal.

    9DebbiePosted on: 4-9-2025

    The room was perfect and the balcony was so nice to sit and have a drink and look at the views.

    They hadn't told us that the pub closed early on the day that we arrive! also the collection of our room key could have been tricky as they were going home! This should be in the details of checking in.

    8TracyPosted on: 4-8-2025

    The room was warm and clean.Breakfast was adequate as was dinner. Staff were accommodating and friendly.

    It would have been nice to have a small travel pack of cotton wool and earbuds but equally the body wash and shampoo were nice. Restaurant toilets could have done with more regular cleaning.

    9AdrianPosted on: 4-7-2025

    Very good breakfast as it was a little different to other places. Nice to be served and generous portions.

    10SallyPosted on: 4-5-2025

    Excellent peaceful location literally across the road from a quiet beach, and a short walk from the centre of Southwold. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and food was excellent. Room was clean and modern. Would highly recommend.

    8IsabellePosted on: 3-31-2025

    Great food and location, comfortable room. Only downside was the poor soundproofing between rooms.
