My partner and I have just stayed a couple of nights at Sutherland House and had a wonderful time. Although it is not a standard hotel with reception etc, our room was amazing (the Duke of York), and was furnished to a high standard with so much history attached, a real experience. Even the L'Occitane toiletries were a fabulous touch... More

The downside of visiting highly rated restaurants is the "disappointment factor" - the worry that high expectations may be dashed. No such problem at the Sutherland House for lunch today. An aperitif of the excellent house Champagne may have influenced me somewhat - buy not unduly. Maybe also the lovely table next to both the fireplace and the window. Perhaps... More

We have been visiting Southwold now for over 20 years. It is an unique town, and our ideal location to finish off our wedding anniversary trip. Sutherland House has always been one of the top quality restaurants in Southwold and we have had very enjoyable meals there several times. However, the House has now opened up the bedrooms dating back... More

I would classify Sutherland House as a Boutique Hotel with an excellent Restaurant more than B&B. A couple of pointers to help others are, there was one parking space on-site, though there was plenty of free parking within a 0.5-3 minute walk, which made it easy, so similar to the normal car parking lot march at a Sheraton. Now that... More

We had lunch here on a weekday and what a great meal we had. The dining room, as part of a beautiful and historic building, is a lovely environment. The menu offered a great choice of fish dishes, all our choices were very well prepared and full of flavour (my starter of scallops/black pudding/quails egg was particularly memorable). The service... More

After a lovely wander around Southwold we decided to go back to The Sutherland to try their Sunday lunch menu and was not disappointed. We had excellent service (a new waitress) who made sure we had everything we needed and a great waiter who also was very attentive. The restaurant is relaxing and has a really pleasant feel about it.... More

I've already reviewed the phenomenal restaurant, but felt compelled to review the Hotel. I have no idea why it is listed as a B&B, as it's clearly a fantastic restaurant with rooms, or a Boutique Hotel without a concierge. And what rooms, we booked early and had the luck of choosing from all and picked the Duke of York Room,... More

Okay ... You have to like Fish but the food, presentation and staff all get five stars. Also very reasonable pricing too. Maybe not a place to take a young family but okay for older adults too. Parking might be an issue in the summer if you have mobility challenges but no worries if you ont mind a short walk.
