My husband booked a night away here having looked at several other hotels in the area he had a 'good feeling' about Sutherland House - we were not disappointed. The room was simply beautiful and we made a good choice in booking for our evening meal as the food was exquisite... I have honestly not tasted food so good, the... More

Sutherland House rightly has the number one spot on trip advisor for Southwold. We ate in the family room as we had our three young children with us. The only downside to the whole experience was that this room lacked a bit of atmosphere, they could do with some music just to lighten the mood. But the food was superb!... More

We spent two nights at Sutherland House at the end of May during our first trip to Southwold and thoroughly enjoyed our time there, "The Earl of Sandwich" room is a treat, super comfy bed and the bathroom with its slipper bath is a joy if you like rooms with character! It's only a few steps up from the attractive... More

What a fantastic experience! The building itself was superb and we had a cosy room in the oldest part of the property which managed to be in keeping with its historical era and still provide every mod con. We made an excellent decision to eat in the restaurant and the food was to die for. Just when we thought it... More

Just had a superb evening at Sutherland House. Food was excellent and the service attentive. We were recommended a wine that I would not have considered and it worked perfectly with the meal. Well presented, beautifully cooked fresh local produce in a wonderfully atmospheric and historic building.

We were visiting Southwold back in April and we had a large buggy which was a problem for a lot of the restaurants located in very old buildings. Fortunately, Sutherland House and a far more approachable and spacious lay out for us. The food was very good and well presented and the service was excellent. All staff were very accommodating...

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
