Accommodation overview: Only 5 miles from Southwold, this magnificent 16th-century Tudor house stands in 2 acres of secluded gardens of lawns and mature trees, within which visitors enjoy sole use of an outdoor heated swimming pool with a large summer house, and an adjacent hard tennis court. The spacious interior is heavily beamed throughout and has been carefully furnished to complement its age, providing a very comfortable holiday base for exploring the Suffolk coastline and surrounding area.
Picturesque Southwold is a quiet and unspoilt seaside town with the shallow promenade and line of beach huts lending it a turn of the century air, and a selection of interesting shops, inns and good restaurants. Nearby Dunwich is a small remnant of a once thriving, sizeable town that has slowly and famously been engulfed by the sea, with a well-kept museum telling the dramatic story. Dunwich Heath has a National Trust car park commanding widespread views of Minsmere Nature Reserve, a bird-watchers’ paradise, and close by is Westleton Heath National Nature Reserve, one of the last surviving expanses of the east Suffolk Neolithic heathland. The attractive coastal town of Aldeburgh lies within easy reach, well known for its annual arts festival. Launched by Benjamin Britten, the festival served as a means to showcase the works of the composer, and those of his contemporaries, and soon moved to a collection of disused maltings, just south of the village of Snape. Converted into one of the finest concert hall venues in the country, the Snape Maltings complex makes an interesting place to browse around, even outside the summer festival period, with craft shops, galleries, pub and tearoom. Golf, fishing and sailing at Southwold. Riding 3 miles. Shop 1 mile, pubs 2 miles. Large entrance hall. Spacious, beamed living room with open beamed studwork separating reading area.

Accommodation overview: For a unique holiday experience, Lock Cottage is unbeatable. Surrounded by water and accessed via a footbridge, this delightful, detached lock keeper’s cottage is an oasis of peace and tranquillity, yet is in the heart of the medieval village of Nayland on the Suffolk and Essex border.
