Did not disappoint!

We’ve wanted to stay here for years and it did not disappoint! Felt like a real treat with a touch of luxury! We stayed the garden rooms-they were lovely with a table/chairs outside but so be aware the WiFi is terrible and it’s very noisy! Both woken by 530 am by birds and sounds from the factory! No ones fault of course but worth knowing if you are a light sleeper!

Loved the de luxe room we were allocated. Whole of hotel was classy from the decor to staff attentiveness.Only chose to have the breakfast option which had many choices to choose from. Hotel is in the centre of Southwold and most things happen from the tour centre. Will definitely be going back there again.

Nice looking but don’t bank on peace and quiet.

The hotel is nicely decorated. It is rather a warren of rooms and corridors. I requested a twin room which was prepaid. My only request was for a quiet room but that was not what we got. The room was over the kitchen extra fans which only stopped at 9.50pm. It was also next to the fire escape which staff climbed on. It was noisy.Avoid room 8.

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 👌

This is a charming old school hotel. Great food and lovely rooms. But we were disappointed when we arrived on Feb 5 to discover the heating had been turned off.
