A very nice, traditional hotel in a delightful setting. Clean, quiet room with a very comfortable bed. Excellent cooked breakfast. The restaurant via definitely upmarket, and priced accordingly for dinner, but it's quite true that not only if you wish to dine there, but if you wish to dine in a nearby establishment, you need to book in advance.

The hotel staff: front of house, cleaners, gardeners all provide an incredible, friendly experience. The hotel is clean, breakfast excellent (coffee less so) and it all looks fabulous too. The staff are professional, good humoured and really are the icing on a pretty terrific cake...coffee could be better....but the two magpies is literally 3 minutes walk

We had a Garden Room which was cute and quiet. The sun set right on our doorstep so it was lovely to enjoy some drinks outside. The staff here are all wonderful. The food is great. Definitely worth booking unless you are eating early as there are only a few similar quality places in town. We also loved the hearty breakfast. It was nice to see local options like kipper.

A lovely quirky hotel in the centre of Southwold. The staff were brilliant in every area: reception, breakfast, bar, dinner. While the room was quite small, there were nice touches. Free parking is a bonus. It’s an old building so don’t expect air conditioning and there’s lots of creaky staircases. The seagulls are noisy in the morning but you’d expect that being next to the sea. We had breakfast and dinner both nights and the food quality was excellent. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel for a weekend stay.

Beautiful room and amenities. We stayed in one of the garden rooms which was gorgeous, and would be even nicer when warmer as each has a little table and chairs in front - the room had everything you could want v spacious and gorgeous Temple Spa bathroom products, and a lovely touch was the complimentary bottle of Copper House gin ;) lovely meal in the restaurant and delicious breakfast. We were there combining a whiskey tour and tasting just next door which would highly recommend. We know and love Southwold but rarely need to stay as have family nearby so this was a lovely treat to experience The Swan.

Not our first stay at The Swan and it certainly won’t be the last. It’s classy personified. Understated brilliance. Southwold is beautiful as ever. Breakfast is exceptional 👌

10/10 Exceptional

We treated ourselves to a weekend at The Swan after several day trips to Southwold from the Midlands over the years. Following a very welcoming check-in at reception we stayed in a nicely appointed Garden Room set around a small garden, each with outside space and a bistro table and chairs - a welcome addition in the late June heatwave. The décor and fixtures were traditional but with a modern twist. Perhaps slight signs of wear and tear (stained fabric headboard and water-blown wooden sills in the bathroom) which I'm sure will be addressed. Breakfast was cooked to order with a typical menu and very nice but we found the diner menu offered a limited range. The car park seemed large enough to cope with demand but be warned the seagulls rule the roost and a clean car will not remain clean for long! Overall a fabulous break, attentive staff in a lovely location.

A Perfect Retreat

We are local but always have the children with us when we spend the day in Southwold. It was great to appreciate what Southwold and all The Swan has to offer. Our room was fabulous, so comfortable - a prefect retreat for a night away. We will definitely stay again, soon. Thank you
