Would recommend for a brief stopover

Comfortable room, pleasant staff, and excellent breakfast made our stay enjoyable. the room was well-equipped with a flat-screen TV and electric kettle, while the hotel’s central location allowed us easy access to local attractions.

Absolutely nothing to criticize.

Comfortable room with delightful complimentary drinks, but the stairs felt a bit unsafe.

love the location, right in the heart of southwold. the room was a good size n cozy, extra touches like beer in the room were nice. breakfast was delish, loved the reading room for chillin out. staff were friendly n helpful too, made my solo trip fun.

only downside was it got a bit too hot in the room even with the window open. also, some noise from seagulls early in the morning was annoying.

100% recommend for a passing visit

Comfortable room, excellent breakfast, with a great location allowing easy access to local attractions and a lovely relaxed atmosphere for unwinding after exploring the area.

Entirely happy.

Location’s spot on High Street puts you right in the middle of things, just a five-minute stroll to the beach. The room features a comfy layout, complete with a kettle, cafetiere, and snacks like Adnams beer and crisps—a nice touch after a long day exploring.

The interior shows its age with worn carpets and some tired decor. My room felt cramped, and condensation covered the windows, while leaks in the corridor raised some eyebrows. Breakfast varied dramatically. one day was decent, but the next I faced burned bacon and overly sweet pancakes, which didn’t match the quality of the dinner. While the snug bar adds character, it lacks the vibe of a dedicated lounge area, making it feel a bit isolated. A bit more attention to cleanliness when seating customers would also go a long way.

The restaurant's breakfast is freshly cooked to order and a real treat.

Great location and fab food!

We stayed for 3 nights and loved it. The spot is perfect, just a quick stroll to the beach. Staff were super friendly and the breakfast was excellent, especially those kippers! Dinner was nice too, but the service could've been better – our waitress seemed a bit forgetful at times. a nice relaxing stay.

It was just a reliable pick for short visits in Southwold with great value for the money. The fish and chips were lovely, with a divine batter and delicious chip shop curry sauce. Check out the Adnams shop a short walk away for amazing drinks.

Oh, the fresh orange juice was pure bliss, and I adored the mini Roberts dab radio in my room! Plus, the location on the high street made it a breeze to explore local gems like Two Magpies Bakery right around the corner.

The Crown’s got a charming quirkiness, but the old woodwork and a few tired passages could use a bit of TLC. it’s more than made up for with all the lovely details!

i had a lovely stay during my recent visit to southwold. the hospitality at the crown exceeded my expectations, offering a cozy room with complimentary adnam's beer. breakfast was a highlight, featuring fresh pastries and a variety of juices.

the shower had inconsistent water pressure.

This place suits me perfectly with great amenities like free parking, a bar/lounge area, and in-room breakfast. On my first stay, the staff helped me with my heavy baggage, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend it for a relaxing stay, and I'll be back for Easter!

The room was spacious and impeccably clean, featuring high-quality bedding, towels, and complimentary toiletries. the inclusion of Adnams ghost ship beer and crisps was a thoughtful touch. The hotel's location on the quiet High Street allowed for a peaceful stay, with easy access to the seaside within a short stroll.

Dining options were limited due to kitchen issues.

We stayed for a couple of nights and loved the beautiful location. Our room was spacious, clean, and well-stocked with everything we needed. The dining experience was a highlight, with excellent service and delicious food. The kids enjoyed the cozy lounge area and the friendly atmosphere, which made our stay feel like home.

Charming stay with fantastic breakfast options

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with a spacious room that had unique decor and a cozy ambience. The breakfast was a standout, featuring freshly cooked options like kippers and a delightful variety of juices. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, providing a welcoming atmosphere that made all the difference. I did find that the dining options in the evening were somewhat limited due to kitchen issues during my visit.

Perfect beach getaway!

The location is spot on, just a short stroll to the beach. Our room was cozy and super clean, and the breakfast was delish! The staff were friendly and even upgraded us for free. Only bummer was the pricey dinner—good, but not amazing for the cost.
