Relax and unwind in the beautiful, secluded grounds at this charming property in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with 10 acres of natural surroundings to explore. It’s close to the centre of Hollesley village and the coast is just 3 miles away making it an ideal base for a family of wildlife lovers along with their four-legged friend.

The apartment makes a comfortable home from home with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Go into the entrance hall and upstairs to the first floor and a large landing with a desk for work/writing postcards then head into the cosy sitting room. Enjoy the light and garden views from the large window, lounge on the sofa and watch TV or a good movie and cook delicious meals in the spacious kitchen to enjoy together at the table in the sitting room. The peaceful location means you’ll get a great night’s sleep in the comfy bedrooms, a king, and a twin, after a relaxing soak in the stylish bathroom. Outside is a nature lover’s paradise. Sit beside the pretty waterfall, wander the lawns and wildflower meadows, and watch the wildlife on the lakes and river where otters, deer, kingfishers, herons, and all sorts of birdlife visit.

Hollesley village (less than 0.5 miles away) has a handy shop, Post Office, and pub, and Woodbridge, with a range of independent shops, pubs, cafes, and restaurants is 8 miles away.

What an amazing location! The garden is absolutely fantastic, we saw the kingfisher several times, and deer every day. Very comfortable apartment, lovely spacious lounge, no problems with headroom even with a 6 foot 1 guest.

A unique setting for a very well appointed property. The grounds are wonderful , perfect for walking round in the evening. It was so lovely we cancelled eating out so that we could stay to relax looking out of the huge window at the lake and gardens. Vale View is in a perfect location for Woodbridge and the coast.

Probably the best property we have stayed in. Surroundings of so many acres was ideal fro us and especially our dog. Would love to return in spring time. Shepherd and Dog on the village was very welcoming with sensibly prices food.

Site is really nice, and good of owners to share majority of grounds with guests. Only downside for us were a road diversion beyond the control of owners. Would love to stay there again.

An unusual location in the countryside but close to many attractions, beaches and forests in this part of Suffolk. The accommodation was comfortable and the hosts, Kate and Ian, were keen to see all was in order. We enjoyed having access to their extensive garden and invited to pick fruit from their orchard.
