A delightfully historic and well finished room with a great bath (Earl of Sandwich), excellent service and good food that didn't quite taste as special as it sounded on the menu and looked on the plate. Much of the charm of this place is down to the age of the building, but this does mean very noisy floorboards. Our plans... more

We stayed at Sutherland House for a romantic long weekend including Saint Valentine's day. Throughout our stay the service was exemplary; not only charming, meticulous and discrete but also young, relaxed and enthusiastic. Nothing was too much trouble. Our room, the John Sutherland Suite, felt like a private, romantic hideaway... It was atmospheric, stylish and luxurious, with our own sitting... more

The only way to access your chosen room is to cross the restaurant to reach the door to the stairs, which would be very uncomfortable if there were a room full of diners and you were carrying luggage.

Southwold is a nice enough place to visit, but... more

Just spent a couple of days at Sutherland house to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. Perfect.... Southwold an old fashioned sea side town without the tackyness that you find in so many of our coastal resorts, with some great eateries/pubs and shops to keep you happy for couple of days. Sutherland house only has 3 rooms, but what great rooms.We... more

Definately a restaurant with rooms but relaxed and comfortable with beautiful rooms... yes the bath takes a while to run but...worth the wait. The food is amazing and definately the best dining... more
