Loved by The Southwold Guest House guests
"The lounge area is very stylish with a big TV and pool table and a genuinely nice place to sit in and chill out."
"There was loads of milk, coffee and sugars etc which I noticed straight away as it's frustrating when you only get 2 of each item."
"For breakfast we had freshly cooked poached eggs on toast."

Adequate Stay with Minor Issues
excellent breakfastvarious breakfasthelpful hostsaccommodating hostsclean houseprivacy invasiondoorbell recordinguncomfortable feelinguncomfortable situationruined birthday
The provided breakfast was excellent, I appreciated the variety. The hosts Lisa and Les accommodated my needs well, they allowed motorbike parking. The house was clean, there were fresh towels provided.
The hotel owner listened to my private conversation via the Ring doorbell. This seemed like an invasion of privacy. He later showed the footage to my husband. I found this very uncomfortable, and it ruined my birthday.

The breakfast was tasty and cooked perfectly.
The room smelled like a funeral home upon arrival. The en-suite bathroom door had a large gap at the bottom and no lock. Privacy was NOT guaranteed.
