The hotel was special, with competent staff. This location was perfect and comfortable, just next door to the sea between Southwold and a good restaurant being onsite. We could drink something at Mercat Bar, located 1 km away.

Stunning location right on the sea front was a plus. Dined at La Tasca, it was at a medium distance from the venue. We truly enjoyed sitting in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner.

The breakfast was fresh and superb with a wide array of different food. The staff was enthusiastic, I will never forget them. Its location was amazing, right by the flooded fields which had attracted hundreds of wildfowl, the beach beyond the dunes and old harbour and Walberswick ferry.

Enjoyed my time here. Fresh and very good breakfast with generous portions, and the staff was amiable. The superior king room was decent sized with great views across the fields, the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The location was particularly good and stunning, right on the beachfront, in the local area.
Well, no service.

The total stay was pleasant on the first night of your stay. The location was convenient for exploring this wonderful area, so close to the beach beyond the dunes as well as old harbour and Walberswick ferry.
