Holiday cottages on the Suffolk Coast

"No trip to Suffolk is complete without a visit to one of Suffolk's many beautiful seaside towns and villages. My personal favourite is Aldeburgh, as I love the coloured buildings, the quaint high street filled with independent shops, and of course its vast pebble beach with traditional fishermen's huts serving fresh seafood. The beach stretches down to the quirky village of Thorpeness where you can see the House in the Clouds from Aldeburgh Beach." - Regional Expert and Norfolk Ambassador, Inday Harrison.

Things to do on the Suffolk Coast

Few Suffolk beaches are as iconic as Southwold Beach. Backed by colourful beach huts, a historic pier and a charming seaside town, it's the perfect place to experience the classic British coast. Whether you're grabbing fish and chips on the promenade, taking in views from the pier or soaking up the sea air, Southwold Beach offers a quintessential Suffolk day by the sea.

Orford is one of Suffolk’s most captivating coastal villages, with centuries of history, outstanding seafood and natural beauty.
