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

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
