"I've known the swan hotel for over fifty years. in the did it was the first place I stayed in suffolk when my parents decided to buy a plot of land and build a house in walberswick. when I learned from the recent renovation, I was a bit careful, and the well-supported traditional style gave the contemporary design space. but after I made the jump into another time, I must say that the results are great. eating is now and very much up with the best in suffolk next to the great house of lavenham and the fox and goose of fressingfield. her 'gin poached birne, seasoned crumbs and Italian meringue with a cassis sorbet ' was like a party in mouth! the personal, guided by craig and yasmin, supported by the eccentric holmes, ensure that the service is both very efficient and friendly. many thanks also to nadia, richard, emily, rebecca for making the swan a "home from home '."

"Hotel prices but below average food and average service. Long waits even though half empty restaurant, TINY fish starter presented without lemon, no offer of bread or rolls, dry slice of bread with a soup, tiny open tart SMOTHERED in balsamic glaze so that was all I could taste! Frozen supermarket style chips!"

"We have been regulars at Munchies for many years now and would not hesitate to recommend this brilliant cafe to anyone visiting Aldeburgh for coffee or a bite to eat. Susie and her entire team go out of their way to make you feel welcome and our visit today was no exception. As always we were greeted with a smiling face and the fantastic hot chocolate went down a treat sitting outside on a beautiful crisp January day. The hot drinks and the delicious home cooked food is “made with love… by Susie Medland” and the vibe of this cafe certainly makes you feel like one of the family. The food is extremely reasonably priced and there is an extensive menu for breakfast/ lunch, hot and cold snacks and also lots of tasty homemade cakes and pastries. We love sitting outside the front at a cafe table, whatever the weather, watching the world go by in this beautiful seaside town and chatting to the locals and Susie’s regular customers, of which there are many! And it is not hard to see why. If you are looking for good food and great coffee, together with amazing service you must put this place on your list when you next visit Aldeburgh"
