Luxury Hotels in Suffolk

Sutherland House Hotel, Southwold one of Suffolk’s most historically important buildings, has recently been restored to the highest standard and now provides a Luxury Hotel and Fine Dining for its guests in comfortable, contemporary surroundings. The restaurant has been awarded two rosettes by the AA, and the food is locally sourced, and only seasonal ingredients are used.

The warm environment at Sutherland House Hotel is complimented by wood burning stoves, rich fabrics, lovingly prepared food and a warm welcome from the owners, Peter and Anna Banks.

Also on the coast is the atmospheric The Crown and Castle, Orford owned and run by Ruth Watson (the Hotel Inspector) and her husband David. The Crown and Castle itself dates back to the C16th but the interior is contemporary and the 18 light, stylish bedrooms all have modern en-suite bathrooms. Although extremely quietly positioned, it is not a country house hotel in the hackneyed, ruched-curtain, prohibitively expensive sense. Neither is it efficient but soulless, in the way modern, city-centre hotels can be.

The story goes that the original inn was built into the walls of Orford castle, of which only the handsome Norman keep now remains standing. Sitting on our terrace (where you can have a drink on a hot summer’s day), it makes a wonderful sight, particularly when back-lit by the setting sun.

Ruth and David Watson have set out to create a new concept in hospitality, offering a genial atmosphere, good food and well-designed, simple bedrooms at modest cost.
