We were incredibly lucky to arrive in Southwold for the bank holiday weekend with sunshine forecast and indeed it was wonderful weather. Our experience at the Crown, where we stayed for 2 nights was lovely. Our room (1) was small but we didn't mind as we booked quite last minute and were happy to get in. The room is well... More

Gorgeous hotel, an older building, heaps of character, we had a beautiful room, with its wn sitting room, a very comfy bed with divine bedding, the food is utterly amazing ....we ate in the restaurant n the evening and all three of us had something different, and they were all so tasty, clearly a talented chef. Oh and every single... More

Visited one of our favourite places during the Easter break and as always, the staff and atmosphere were excellent. The current menu is concise and a little too 'fancy' for my liking but the quality of dishes is very good. Not cheap but good for special occasions.

Stayed here for my partner's 21st Birthday. We had a lovely room, the decor is outstanding! Attention to detail, had a real beachfront feel, with pastel colors, light and airy, quirky little extras ike homemade shortbread. Bed was really comfortable, good heating. Parking is tight, get there early and avoid arriving at lunchtime when non-residents will quickly fill up the... More

We really liked the place. Room 6 and en-suite bathroom had obviously been recently refurbished and very tasteful they were too. The bathroom, though was absolutely freezing, albeit was very cold outside too. Roof top views not attractive. The restaurant was very busy at 8pm and the staff not really able to cope, although the food, and breakfasts were fine.... More

We stayed here for one night on a road trip though Norfolk, Suffolk and Kent travelling with our 12 year old over October half-term. The receptionist was most professional and a very good front of house asset to the company. We weren't expecting to be upgraded to a suite with seperate living room and sofa bed for our son all...

It always puzzles me why the Crown doesn't get higher ratings. I've stayed elsewhere in Southwold and not liked it nearly as much. Yes, it can be pricey if you pay full rate - but less so than other, less enjoyable places, and if you pick one of their many deals it is a downright bargain. The rooms have all... More

We stayed here for a special occasion. We used to stay quite regularly, but hadn't been for a few years, so were hoping we'd still love it. We did. We had a beautiful room with a separate living room which we weren't expecting - so a great start. The staff are always friendly, the food was delicious - eaten by... More

We have just spent 1 night at the Crown staying in suite No 4. Beautifully designed with luxurious furnishings & fittings. The roll top bath in the bedroom was novel. I love original BTC lighting and this suite was abundant with various lamps etc. The separate living area was large and had all mod cons, smart TV, DAB radio. I... More
