A lovely cottage in the market town of Framlingham, this property is perfect for families looking for a relaxing holiday and an easy drive to explore the beautiful Suffolk coast and countryside. Made famous by its hilltop castle, Framlingham still boasts ancient town streets to wander, boutiques to explore, tea rooms, and country pubs. A tour of the historic 12th-century castle, less than 500 metres away, is a must. Bring your hiking boots and enjoy the gorgeous views on a walk at the nearby Framlingham Mere Nature Reserve (0.5 miles).
This charming property, set over two levels, is located on a quiet residential mews and is full of contemporary comfort, making for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The soothing decor has a natural theme. Enter through the hallway to the welcoming downstairs lounge, flooded with natural light from the French doors: unwind in the plush seating, admire the garden views and watch a movie together on the Smart TV. Next door, the kitchen/diner has everything you need to rustle up some family favourites and a Welsh dresser adds a touch of charm. Upstairs is a family bathroom and three bedrooms – a king-size, a double and a cot-size bed suitable for a child (2–5 years). Access the fully enclosed, private garden with outdoor seating via the French doors in either the lounge or the kitchen. Relax in the sunshine with a cool drink, fire up the BBQ, and enjoy dining alfresco in fine weather. There is private parking for two cars.
Head to the scenic coast, which boasts an endless array of pretty views, beaches and walks. Visit Aldeburgh (13.5 miles), explore the wide shingle beach, and take in the iconic scallop-shaped seafront art installation. Those who love a woodland walk should visit Captain’s Wood (15 miles), and for wildlife or bird spotting, head to Snape Warren wetlands (11.5 miles). An attraction that has something for all the family is Orford Quay (14 miles), where you can try your hand at crabbing from the quay or take a leisurely river cruise.
