Places to Stay in Southwold.

Southwold is the postcard Suffolk Coast town: the painted beach huts, the working pier, the lighthouse rising out of the rooftops and a Georgian high street still full of independents.

Adnams runs through it like a thread, from the brewery on Victoria Street to the pubs on every corner.

Walk the prom from the pier to the harbour, swim from the main beach, eat fish and chips at the Sole Bay Fish Co., and finish at the Lord Nelson or the Sole Bay Inn.

Out of season, Southwold belongs to its locals and the lucky few visitors who know it's even better in November.

That mix is exactly what makes places to stay in Southwold so worthwhile for the right kind of guest.
