Welcome to The Wentworth

"LOVE THE WENTWORTH. As integral to Aldeburgh as Adnams and Fish and Chips. I go to The Wentworth as often as I can as I live across the road. We take the dogs in Summer and sit in the garden and it is heavenly. The system, order at the bar with table number works really well and the menu is extensive and delicious. My mum has been eating and sometimes staying at The Wentworth for over 70 years, now I have a house opposite I make her stay with me but I can see her looking longingly over the road. The Wentworth is a wonderful institution and good value. I've been coming since I was a small child in the 70s and love it as much now as I did then."

"I’ve had the pleasure of frequenting the Wentworth for the past 10 years, it’s always a favourite of ours to drop in for a pot of tea following a Sunday stomp around the marshes and along the beach. The Wentworth is the last bastion of Britains once world famous seaside hotels, it’s like stepping back into a once care free past, with distinctively old school decor, tentative and polite staff, for the often distinguished clientele who are all here doing their best to escape the hustle and bustle of modern day madness. The Wentworth stands out like a vodka martini against the mocktails of other once grand hotels in the town, who have done all they can to strip themselves of any historical context in their quest to attract a neuvea riche, who aspire to plain white walls, pastel painted furniture, stainless steel and glass, changing the face of all our costal towns. So I say- Bravo to the Wentworth management team for not falling foul to this dire trend that has befallen almost every other hotel and pub on the Suffolk coast, you really are a gem that will forever be a pleasure to those who visit."

"Birthday Trip to Remember: We have just returned from a birthday stay for my wife and can only praise the Hotel for a wonderful time. We had a marvellous large sea facing room and on the afternoon of our arrival we had toasted teacakes with tea in the lovely lounge with sea views. As for the meals, what can I say. Dinner on each evening was an excellent 3 course meal, and the breakfast really set you up for the day. The staff were so friendly and very helpful and I would certainly recommend this Hotel, to the extent that we have booked again!!"

"It was our first stay at the Wentworth and it's not difficult to understand why this lovely hotel attracts a loyal following of regular visitors. The public areas are traditionally but stylishly decorated , with some attractive artwork on the walls. Parking was easy and the standard of service was excellent throughout our stay. We had a light and airy corner room on the second floor which provided beautiful views over the beach and along the coast. Breakfast was waiter service only - but our order was taken promptly and the service was efficient and friendly. The breakfast itself was excellent - freshly cooked and tasty. Sadly no kippers on the breakfast menu that morning . We would certainly stay again on any future visits to the Suffolk coast."

"Fantastic stay at The Wentworth. Great location for exploring Aldeburgh and Southwold. Lovely room (bedroom and separate sitting room) overlooking the sea. Quiet with very comfortable bed. Bathroom well appointed and very clean. It’s 25 years since my last stay at the hotel and it’s as good now as it was then. Beautiful decor, lovely service, great staff. Open fires and beautiful public rooms are a delight. We had dinner bed and breakfast and the food was first class. I used to think of the bar at The Wentworth as one of my favourite places to be - it still is. Thanks to everyone who makes the experience so special."

"Perfect location to relax. A perfect location for a lunch and/or just drinks. We stay nearby every June and the wentworth terrace and gardens are a joy to sit in and unwind. The lunches we had were fresh and delicious, a good choice of drinks and the staff friendly and efficient. The gardeners in particular should be commended for blending formal and informal planting so seamlessly. P.s just embrace the gulls, it is the coast after all "

"Last minute booking for 2 nights which we did directly with the hotel. We had a room at the front which looked newly refurbished. Very comfortable bed, plenty of space and chairs in the window to sit and admire the amazing view. Best shower in a hotel and we were lovely and warm. The deal included breakfast and a 3 course evening meal. The food was delicious and the service efficient and friendly. The hotel was spotless and we hope to return."

"We had an utterly brilliant lunch in the lounge as part of a special birthday weekend. I cannot fault anything. The party included all the elements for chaos (including a 2 and 4 year old) but it was simply perfect. Really friendly and genuine staff, and a lovely varied menu which suited everyone, all in a seriously impressive and comfortable group of sofas etc."
