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.

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 👌

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

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

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.

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.

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.
