A family group of us stayed at Wellesley House in July for a few nights. We have stayed in Southwold for a few years running and this is by far the best place, that we have been to. The breakfast was delicious, with a flexible time. The bedrooms all newly decorated with beautiful bathrooms. Julie was so friendly and helpful,... More

I find it almost impossible to think of any way in which our three-night stay at this quietly, yet very conveniently,situated characterful period house could have been improved. It was a delight from start to finish. It appears that Julie's mission in life is to make everything in her B&B as comfortable and convenient for her guests as possible, and... More

My friend and I had a lovely (snowy) weekend in Southwold and stayed at Wellesley House. Julie is the perfect host, a natural and everything is just right! The decor is neutral with lovely bright paintings, the twin room is a good size, the beds are really comfortable, the place is quiet, our bathroom was huge, everything was spotlessly clean... More

We have recently stayed at Wellesley House and the description of this B & B certainly ticked all our boxes. The room was very spacious and sunny with great views, the bed huge as stated and attention to detail spot on even down to a fresh fruit bowl, a tin of shortbread fingers and fresh milk. There was also access... More

We chose this b & b because of previous excellent reviews, and really have nothing more to add other than that it lived up to all our expectations - and hopes. The room was warm, comfortable and with a lovely view. Great breakfasts - and a relaxed chat with our hosts over our second coffees! We would recommend it highly.

If you're planning a trip to Southwold then look no further than Wellesley House. The location is excellent - very peaceful and relaxing, but only a two minute walk to the centre of Southwold with its amazing selection of bars, restaurants and shops. Free parking directly outside the guest house is another huge bonus in a town that can get... More
