Very disappointing stay, room nicely decorated but very expensive , staff very indifferent ,not helpful at all, and poorley trained ,was told there was a resturant and a bar but the restaurant was like a children's room and we were told that we could not eat in the bar. As it was an Adnams hotel we enquired about a brewery... More

The four of us visited here on a thursday evening.It wasnt busy at all ,maybe five tables on the go.the food was average but fine except mine,the smoked haddock & prawn crumble was virtually in edible. I think the chef forgot to put any sauce with the fish. Have anyone ever tried to swallow just crumble? Well its impossible.We had... More

Overall I really enjoyed this hotel. We visited for four days over the Christmas break and had a wonderful time. My room was a slight walk up and down stairs but it was large with a good bathroom and good sized bed. Not much of a view but to be honest it wasn't terrible! The main bar downstairs is brilliant,...

Never stayed here but the restaurant is good. Food of a high standard and the wine list had a tasty choice at a reasonable cost. Service a little slow (took 15 minutes after being seated to be approached) but didnt mind as we were chatting and getting settled anyway. Will be back :-)

Decided that we would treat ourselves to a rare Sunday lunch out. After all, we were fed up with going to places and coming away thinking that we could do better at home. And with three children it costs! But the Crown at Southwold was superb. The roast beef lunch with all the trimmings was cooked to perfection, the starters... More

We live in Southwold but had stopped going to the Crown because of the terrible scrum for tables, it was bot very clean and you could not book. Thankfully all has changed - the bar is now spotless, you can book and the food is great again. Warmly recommended.

An excellent time was had last week end at the Crown. We couldn't get a room at The Swan but the crown was an excellent choice. We arrived around 5:00 to the hotel which was easy to find and a carpark behind the hotel. There is some on street parking on Sunday as well. Ther welcome was good though we... More

We stayed at this hotel in March 2012. And by looking at the reviews here looks like they are from before the hotel has gone through the refurbishment. I booked online at last minute than called the hotel in order to make sure everything went through ok. The service from Emily was amazing, she was extremely polite and answered all... More
