Luxury self-catering accommodation in Suffolk
Pretty market towns and historical landscapes make this coastal county perfect for visiting weekenders.
From wild inland waterways to an impressive stretch of coastline, Suffolk offers guests a varied menu of escapes. A luxury townhouse makes a pretty base from which to explore the picturesque Wool Towns such as Lavenham, Kersey and Clare; Suffolk made a busy industry from the trade of woollen cloth and the history of these well-preserved towns is still evident today. Historians can add on a trip to the Anglo-Saxon burial ground at Sutton Hoo, or hire a quaint cottage near the 300-year-old Tide Mill in Woodbridge for up-close exploration.
Woodbridge is also home to the Riverside Restaurant, a treat for visitors who love dining out; many Suffolk market towns draw modern-day foodies looking for a gourmet break. Topping the list of popular morsels is freshly caught fish from local waters; sausages from Newmarket, a town renowned for its meaty goodies; and hand-picked strawberries, popped into a basket on summer days out. If a simple ice cream is in order, the seaside towns of Aldeburgh, Southwold and Lowestoft have buckets, spades and cones of all colours, don't forget your sunhats.
