Wow!! Our family has recently returned from a fantastic holiday in Suffolk. We stayed at Swinton Bungalow in Stratford St. Andrew, which was absolutely fantastic in every way. Every home comfort was available and so much more!! (Extra special mention about the most comfortable beds ever) The lovely owners Delores and Steve had very kindly left a fRead moreabulous welcome basket full of yummy treats, which we all enjoyed. We could not have stayed in a better location for experiencing this incredible part of Suffolk. Swinton Bungalow is situated up a very quiet lane just off of the A12, which enabled us to visit many attractions (all within a maximum half hour drive, and all suitable for our family party, where our age range was 7 to 70). A week is simply not long enough to see everything that we wanted to see. Our Grandson said that it was the best holiday ever, and we totally agree with him. Like Arnie said "We will be back". Hide

Swinton is situated just off the A12 and is ideal for visiting the tourist places of Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh, Southwold etc. Friday Street Farm is about ten minutes up the road for food, and there is a Sunday boot sale in the field opposite !
