Just 3 miles from Southwold, Wangford is located on the edge of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The A12 trunk road that links London to Lowestoft passes the village and makes it an ideal holiday base for those who wish to travel further afield, but Wangford has plenty to enjoy, including a historic church, popular pubs and a farm shop. The iconic pier and promenade of Southwold are perfect for strolls at any time of year, while its busy high street is home to an eclectic range of shops, galleries and eateries. For a visit with a difference, check out the bijou Electric Picture Palace – the doors open for film evenings around 100 times a year. You’ll find more tradition in Halesworth (7.5 miles); this small market town was built upon a Roman settlement and has a central pedestrianised thoroughfare where many buildings date back to the 16th century and is also home to the largest millennium green in the UK, with around 44 acres of green space. Aside from its stunning coast and countryside, North Suffolk is also a gateway to the Broads National Park; take a boat trip from Oulton Broad (11 miles) to discover some of its stunning scenery and wildlife.
This light and airy holiday apartment is part of a group of four thoughtfully converted properties situated around a central courtyard with a successful farm shop offering fresh daily produce on the doorstep. Warm wooden flooring and traditional furnishings await in a comfortable sitting room, where there’s a TV and DVD for home-from-home entertainment. You can cook up a feast and dine in style in the spacious kitchen, before retiring at the end of your day to a peaceful double bedroom. A shower room completes the layout of your holiday home, while close-by, a shared on-site laundry room offers additional convenience.
There’s no garden here but the gorgeous surrounding countryside is criss-crossed by footpaths and the ancient coppiced woodland of the Reydon Wood Nature Reserve, less than a mile away, is wonderful for walks.
