Warm welcome. Butler assistance with luggage. Large bedroom. Good room for breakfast - fast and prompt service. Good choice to start the day. Pot luck meant you could dine in the Tap Room without reservation in the evening. Not so keen on the choice of food for dining. Monkfish overcooked so disappointingly chewy. Hot water scaldingly hot in bedroom.

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

Great location and lovely decor throughout. Room was big and well set out. Bed very comfy. Little things throughout the stay let us down given how much it was to stay there. Generally slow service both in the restaurant and hotel staff. Check in wasn’t great. Told we should have booked direct so we wouldn’t have had to pay for breakfast. Not what you want to hear on arrival. No offer of help with bags. Not bottle opener in room then took about 30mins to get one and felt like we were putting them out asking for one. Shower very poor (no pressure). Slow service in the restaurant. Toast was burnt at breakfast. All smalls things that could be fixed easily just annoying when you are there.

Our only complaint is that our suite was expensive for what it was, it was quite claustrophobic
