Beautiful room and amenities. We stayed in one of the garden rooms which was gorgeous, and would be even nicer when warmer as each has a little table and chairs in front - the room had everything you could want v spacious and gorgeous Temple Spa bathroom products, and a lovely touch was the complimentary bottle of Copper House gin ;) lovely meal in the restaurant and delicious breakfast. We were there combining a whiskey tour and tasting just next door which would highly recommend. We know and love Southwold but rarely need to stay as have family nearby so this was a lovely treat to experience The Swan.

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.

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
