I enjoyed spending time here. Excellent quality and delicious breakfasts with a general lack of care and wine, for instance, the staff were all in all very informative. Deluxe king room for a four poster bed was the best. The location was magnificent and perfect, around 10-15 minutes walk from Southwold Golf Club.
