My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location was ideal for exploring the town, but there were some issues with the room and service. The dining experience was excellent, and the facilities were satisfactory.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in was quite uncomfortable as it was terribly hot, even with the radiators off and the windows open. However, it was adequate in terms of comfort, except for the constant noise from the kitchen extractor fans below.

Service

5.0

The staff were pleasant and helpful, but it seemed like they were overwhelmed with too many tasks at once. Despite their efforts, the service was not up to par. However, the room service was prompt and efficient.

The location was perfect for exploring all the main attractions in Southwold. It was convenient to leave the car and wander around the town, enjoying the local pubs and national cycle route 1 nearby.

Dining

The breakfast served was superb, with a wide variety of quality ingredients freshly cooked. It was so filling that I ended up skipping lunch. The cereal table was impressively stocked.

The hotel offered basic facilities that served the purpose adequately. However, there were no standout amenities that added to the overall experience.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel - the rooms were excellent, spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with some nice extra touches. While being at the top of the building, they were a little on the small side for just one night. The service was top-notch, with the staff showing us to our room and explaining everything, though they seemed a bit disorganized and understaffed, leading to a slow service. The hotel's location was superb, right on the high street with easy parking, full of character, and ideal for my trip to Southwold. The dining experience was delightful, especially the beautifully presented dishes like the homemade black pudding, although the dinner menu was a bit overpriced. The facilities were great, offering all I needed for a comfortable stay.
