♥ The seaside gem of Southwold

Angie's tip

It’s clear to see why Southwold is so popular with holidaymakers and locals alike. There are some fantastic eateries in the High Street, boutiques plus some great walking routes which can take you all the way to Walberswick. One of my favourite things to do in Southwold on a warm summers day is to indulge in an afternoon tea at The Boating Lake. Served in vintage crockery in a truly peaceful setting, it’s so lovely to sit outdoors and watch the paddle boats on the lake with the backdrop of Southwold Pier and the beach.

♥ East Bergholt in the Suffolk countryside and Southwold on the Suffolk coast

Chloe's tip

I grew up in Suffolk and it has been a joy to be surrounded by such beautiful countryside, parks and rivers. My favourite of all places to visit in Suffolk is East Bergholt where I lived for a number of years. Made famous by John Constable who painted areas such as Flatford Mill and Dedham Vale, it's no surprise that the area is a beautiful landscape. It was great heading down to the River Stour as a child where we would take the kayak and if it was particularly warm, enjoy a wild swim. I also love days spent in Southwold where you can enjoy great food, scenic walks on the beach and of course, a pint of Adnams. I’m a massive foodie (although a vegetarian) and really enjoy going to The Sail Loft in Southwold, which is located along Ferry Road just behind the Dunes. There's so much to discover in the Suffolk countryside, why not browse our countryside cottages here
