The Swan Hotel - Dating back to the 14th-century, the hotel displays the traditional character of an English country house, enhanced by fine furniture, carved door-frames and mantelpieces and art pieces connected with the history of Southwold. The Swan, like Southwold itself, is a place to discover - tranquil yet bustling with local life. The Swan has been the heart of Southwold social life for centuries, and the life of the hotel revolves around the peaceful Drawing Room, a perfect place to chat or read, or just to watch the world go by over an English cream tea. Or you can catch up with local gossip over a pint of Adnams in the Bar, before taking a brisk walk along the shore to work up an appetite for dinner. The refined yet relaxed environment and friendly staff guarantees a most comfortable stay. Some of the bedrooms in the main hotel offer a glimpse of the sea, whilst the garden rooms are clustered around the old bowling green.
