Our Menu is predominantly Seafood and Plant Based, We aim to host the majority of our spring, summer and early autumn dining, alfresco in our newly built under cover outside dining experience.* All of our dining will be either 6.30 or 7.00pm starts, unfortunately we will not be able to offer any later tables.
Our bedrooms have respected the shape of the original rooms, therefore the rooms are of a very generous size, and have fabulous original features. A sleigh bed under a 1660 pargetted ceiling or a six foot, double ended slipper bath in front of a massive fireplace are two of the highlights. This accommodation is boutique, but in an amazing medieval building, truly unlike any other Hotel bedrooms in Southwold.

Great place, super cozy rooms. Felt relaxed from the moment I walked in. The time in the free standing bathtub was a magical experience. The owner is very kind and even speaks a little Polish, I left my coat in a room and had no problem retrieving it. We also received a champagne since it was out anniversary. Family run business that main focus is to provide the most relaxing stay for their guests.

As a dining venue Sutherland House is consistently inhospitable. We were met by a confrontational man who continued to patronise and point at us. The radiator reflected his cold attitude, the lack of bread and butter aligned with his mean spirit and to continue with the theme, most of the food on my plate was dry and tasteless.
To end on a positive note, the Kir Royale was fruity, delicious and served in a beautiful glass. Take note that man!
Thank you to the waitress who noticed the obvious mistakes on our bill.

We only ate in the restaurant and did not experience the rooms. Our meal was of excellent quality and it was such a shame that having arrived at the restaurant at 6.30 we were immediately told we would have to VACATE the premises on the stroke of 9 pm!! Already not impressed with that, but we went ahead and ordered our meals from the small, but perfectly formed menu. Food was very nice but if I am to be very honest, I would suggest you try The Randolph Hotel in Reydon.
The host/owner of Sutherland House was very charming but I was underwhelmed by his hospitality and Cavalier attitude. Sorry, but

Small hotel and restaurant in Southwold
Visited because of the top reviews and it did not disappoint . Quite a small menu but the food was of a very high quality and not too expensive. Restaurant booking is a must as usually booked about 3 weeks in advance, not sure if its the same for residents. No designated parking. We will visit again.

Perfect location in the middle of Southwold. Enjoyed our stay in the garden room which was well furnished with a small private area outside. Everywhere was was well kept and felt very safe. The staff and owner were helpful and friendly.
Great cooked breakfast. Look
forward to eating there in the evening as well next time.

Stayed for 2 nights in the Garden Room and had dinner in the outside restaurant on one of those nights.
The room was great, bed super comfy and amazingly clean.
The food in the restaurant was also top notch. The scallops were unreal and the ambience in the garden was beautiful on a sunny summer evening. What was also great was that the owner gave us a disclaimer that the wild halibut was more of a meaty fish which although wouldn’t have informed our choices, definitely was a positive.
Would have no hesitation in recommending this place and we will definitely be coming back to stay whenever

It is not at all easy to put across, in words, just how wonderful the whole Sutherland House experience is, every detail has been considered and provided for to a most impressive standard.... The best advice I can give is to be sure to book a meal just as soon as you can. I am sure you will love it just as much as we do!!
