Great for Families

Great place for families to stay after a day in Southwold. We stayed in one of the family rooms which was the best hotel room we have stayed in with our two children - plenty of space and we didn't feel on top of each other at all. Brilliant breakfast the next day, great choice and lovely FOH lady, who really looked after us and was kind to the children. She arranged for the some cooked items for my toddler then the chef came and asked what crockery would be best for him - we had our own plate which she kindly took and used. Overall brilliant service. We will be back again.

We stayed here for a mini break. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent and especially the two ladies who served us. Great sense of humour and nothing too much trouble. Room was spotless and bed very comfortable. The location is great with the transport museum next door and Southwold, Snape and Aldeburgh a short drive away. We would definitely recommend to friends and family and also return if we visit Suffolk again.

We had a meet for the evening with friends and used the coach house for the first time. The hotel was lovely, everyone was very friendly , the food was excellent and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. The price was reasonable. We have already recommended it to our car club for when we meet up and also family and other friends.

I will be back

This is the second time staying at the Coach House and will stay here again when i am next in the area. The team are they have are wonderful. They make staying away feel like you are part of the family. They bent over backwards to make me feel welcome and as someone who works away every week and stays at different hotels this was wonderful. From check in to check out the team were friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and tidy. The restaurant had a wonderful selection of specials and main menu the only trouble i had was trying to pick what to eat. Breakfast was great. When they found out i needed to miss breakfast to attend an event early they made me up a bag to go. Breakfast on the second morning was something special with eggs bendict. Thank you to the team. I will be back.

Great Hotel

Had a lovely stay in a superior room. Every thing was very clean, in the room and the hotel bar/lounge. The room it's self was huge, we had a jacuzzi bath and a four poster bed. The bed was lovely and comfortable. All the staff were very attentive and chatty. I would highly recommend anyone in the area to give this hotel a go. The rooms are exceptional value compared to others in the area of the same price.
