Suffolk Heritage Coast

Why stay here ...

Our CL nestles in a quiet, rural location and offers easy access to both the beautiful and historic Suffolk Heritage Coast, and the renowned Norfolk Broads.

We are situated close to the Suffolk/Norfolk border, and just over 3 miles from our nearest beach. We are 7 miles from Southwold, and 5 miles from Beccles.

Our 5 pitches are on grass with views over farmland, all facing west for beautiful sunsets, and with EHU and chemical waste, refuse and recycling disposal. With mature trees and a large pond, we are home to a wide variety of wildlife, including deer, hares, pheasants, partridges, owls, woodpeckers and jays. Our wildflower meadow, which borders the pitches, is currently a work in progress, along with recent planting between the pitches.

Each pitch is named after a favourite Suffolk Heritage Coast destination – Southwold, Dunwich, Thorpeness, Aldeburgh and Orford.

This famed coast is changing rapidly as erosion and longshore drift continue to have a visible impact – Dunwich Museum tells the story of a once flourishing port, now largely buried beneath the sea. Southwold offers beauty and entertainment in equal measure, with well-preserved architecture; the theatre; the pier; and brewery and distillery tours through the town’s long association with Adnams Brewery. Aldeburgh, another unspoilt, former fishing village, has artistic connections with Benjamin Britten and Maggie Hambling. Thorpeness was designed as an elite resort in the early 1900s and remains a charming village with varied architecture. Orford is a historical and geographical gem, with a medieval castle and Orford Ness to  explore. The coast also has many significant connections with wartime activities.

We heartily recommend any or all of these for a day out and can offer suggestions for these and many more places to visit, eat, drink, walk, and enjoy nature.

We have many NT properties within easy reach, and some quirky museums nearby. There are excellent restaurants, warm and welcoming hostelries and great produce in local farm shops, along with general shops and supermarkets within a 10 minute drive.

For the adventurous, the UK parachuting centre and a go-kart track are 2 miles away at Ellough, and boat trips and fishing are available locally. For nature lovers RSPB Minsmere and many popular birdwatching sites are within a 30 minute drive, and Africa Alive Zoological Reserve is 3 miles away. Latitude Festival takes place 10 miles away at the Henham Estate, and Thorington boasts an open air theatre in the woods with a summer programme of events.

So – relax, explore, indulge – the choice is yours! We look forward to your visit.
