Sutherland House

A boutique hotel set in a medieval building in the beautiful seaside town of Southwold. Included in THE TIMES; 30 coolest hotels on the coast. April 2016

Shocking customer service

Reviewed By 551edwardh

Shocking customer service. Defensive attitude with no understanding or empathy for the situation. Could have handled the same issue with kindness and rationale, with some potential alternative solutions, but instead was aggressive and rude. Don’t bother.

Very good small local hotel

Reviewed By Martin C

Stayed here for 3 nights. Small comfortable friendly hotel. My room was well equipped and bed and pillows comfortable. My room overlooked the road and there was a fair amount of traffic noise. Didn’t bother me but if you are sensitive to noise ask for room overlooking car park. Excellent breakfast all served at table. Excellent location within easy walk of main attractions and (very handy) has own car park. Would certainly stay again.

The rooms have modern en-suite bathrooms, hair dryers, digital television, free Wifi, tea/coffee making facilities and ironing facilities (upon request).

Fabulous seaside hotel in great location.

Reviewed By LesPat28

Spent one night in this fabulous hotel overlooking a lovely park with sea views just beyond and only minutes to the beach/promenade. The owners of Hotel Katherine were the perfect hosts - welcoming, helpful and very friendly. Their attention to detail in this recently refurbished hotel is second to none. The decor is beautiful and the furnishings were of high quality - I LOVED the colour schemes throughout the public areas and our bedroom. The bright and airy bedroom was spacious enough for me to do an online Pilates class whilst looking out to our sea view. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable and not only did we have tea/coffee and biscuits (which could be replenished from a communal area on the first floor) but there was squash, hot chocolate and plenty of complimentary chilled water available too. Breakfast was included and we were treated to a selection of fresh berries, yogurt, granola, cereals etc before ordering our cooked breakfast of choice. Plenty of tea and fresh coffee on demand all served in their beautiful dining area. A well stocked honesty bar, and chocolate snacks were available to purchase to satisfy any out of hours cravings. As you can tell, we loved our visit to Hotel Katherine and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Suffolk area.

Excellent Experience

Reviewed By aklu0610

Stayed at the Elveden Inn for a family wedding. From first contact with Danielle when booking to when we were leaving, everything was excellent. Really friendly staff, who engaged with our Irish personalities. Breakfast was excellent as was evening meal, would like to have had some white meat (Chicken, Turkey) on the evening meal menu. Atmosphere was warm, welcoming and had a great feel to it. If ever I was in the area again I would not hesitate to stay. Well done to all, you made our weekend extremely enjoyable.

We’ve just enjoyed their excellent lunch set menu. Loverly presentation and delicious flavours and great service. Table in the garden at lunch time was very pleasant. Only surprised so few people here? Personally I would recommend as a smart venue.

What a find!

Reviewed By Maria B

We really enjoyed our stay here whilst we were visiting Southwold. We had a great sized room which was immaculate, and enjoyed a fabulous breakfast and dinner in the restaurant. A great bonus was a lovely outdoor area and grounds to walk our dog. Tracey and her team were exceptional without being fussy, good fun whilst still being professional. Even though it was a last minute booking and 10 miles from Southwold, we will most definitely be returning here as a base rather than bothering to look in Southwold itself.

Six Bells Inn

Birthday Weekend

Reviewed By joannen691

We booked here for a couple of days over the Bank Holiday. The Inn is stunning, set in beautiful gardens surrounded by farmland in the pretty village of Bardwell. The accommodation is converted stables in the grounds. The rooms were lovely, comfortable, clean, good comfy bed and quality linen, with a nice en-suite. The usual tea, coffee, toiletries and towels were provided. Outside the rooms was a lovely seating area to enjoy the sunshine and a drink. Breakfast was good, a nice full English with tea, coffee, toast etc, cooked well with quality ingredients. We dined in the Inn on one night, the wait was quite long, but was worth it, food was yummy and service was good. Will definitely be back as the whole place was so chilled and relaxing. Definitely recommend.

Great place to stay when visiting Bury St Edmunds area

Reviewed By maisonbijou

Location of the hotel was very good; just off the centre. Staff were very pleasant and very helpful, and organised an early breakfast for us. No other meals available, but we were given a map showing all of the many eateries on offer in Bury. Room was lovely and clean. All in all a great place to stay when visiting Bury.
