Location

This Southwold hotel is about 65 km from Norwich International airport and around 25 minutes' walk from such cultural venues as Alfred Corry Lifeboat Museum Trust. The Bay Apart-Hotel is a mere 1.5 km from Southwold Harbour and not far from the Southwold Lighthouse.

Eat & Drink

Sutherland House is located next to The Bay Apart-Hotel and serves European dishes, 350 m from the property.

“What stands out here is the seamless blend of coastal charm and practical comfort; rooms are neatly turned out, with thoughtful extras like a complimentary whisky nightcap. Its position in Southwold makes it easy to enjoy the pier and local beaches. I think the hotel's smoke-free environment and the provision of free parking are welcome conveniences.”
