My employer arranged a surprise retirement mid-day meal for me, my husband & 20 of my colleagues. The restaurant had been tastefully refurbished; the meals were delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful. We had the use of a very nice classic sitting room for the rest of the afternoon into evening. The attention given to us by staff... More

Sure the rooms could do with sprucing up but the location was great, the food was nice (the breakfast in particular was fantastic) and we enjoyed our stay. We would certainly return. They made a mistake at check-out for £50 in our favour, so that made it even the more pleasurable.

Have just returned after spending two nights at the Blyth with my husband. I thought it was a really lovely hotel, our room the Aldeburgh Suite was really comfortable and very clean. In general I thought the Hotel itself was really well thought out and the decoration throughout was really very well done. It's situated very close to Southwold center... More

The accommodation is tired worn out in desperate need of a refurb. The restaurant is not clean it is dirty, the milk jugs have a brown film on the inside and the cutlery was dirty. I suspect the dishwasher has had it's day. Everything has an air of decay about it. We left an item of clothing behind and despite... More

Hotel was small but our room was fairly roomy with pleasant decor, apart from carpet which needs replacing. The welcome was very warm and friendly and we were assisted with our luggage as there is no lift, which is a bit of a drawback. The meals were very tasty and well presented. On leaving none of the friendly staff were... More

Well you read reviews and make a decision. Stayed last week, Lets start with the good bits the bedding was clean and so were the towels. That's it. Badly in need of a refurb, our room 8 was smelly, pillows gave us neck ache,carpets were dirty. Couldn't leave windows open as they led onto the fire escape( the route was... More

Stayed here in April and it was not an altogether fun experience. Nouvelle cuisine is clearly seen by the chef as an excuse for miniscule proportions, some of which didn't match the description on the menu. This culminated in an appalling breakfast with less than a teaspoon of marmalade provided....... Interiors are in need of restoration, and I'm unimpressed by... More

This was our fortieth wedding anniversary trip and we had never been to Southwold before. The room was warm and comfortable throughout our stay. We had three good nights rest in the large roomy bed and three excellent breakfasts which lasted us all day!! The evening meals were gourmet standard and couldn't be faulted. The staff at the Blythe hotel... More
