Why Book a Cottage Holiday in Suffolk?
Suffolk is one of the most picturesque areas in East Anglia. Bordered by Essex, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk, scenic Suffolk lies in the heart of East Anglia and offers visitors stunning countryside, historical market towns and villages, along with a beautiful coastline.
Coast or Countryside on your Suffolk Self-Catering Break?
Suffolk is blessed with glorious countryside including the Dedham Vale National Landscape which includes Constable Country with its waterways, fields and meadows. Also popular is the Suffolk Coast and Heaths which covers both coast and countryside. Close to the border with Norfolk also is the unspoilt Waveney Valley where you can enjoy riverside walks and more. In all of these areas you can enjoy walking, boating and wildlife watching.
For historical towns and villages, historical churches, art galleries, local pubs and inns, independent shops and more, don’t miss Lavenham with its medieval buildings, Framlingham with its castle, Woodbridge, and Bury St Edmunds.
If a day by the seaside is more your cup of tea then for fish and chips and a walk by the beach, Aldeburgh and Southwold are too of the best. Also popular for coastal walks and bird watching is nearby Dunwich and Orford. Salt marshes and RSPB nature reserves are a feature of the Suffolk coast.
