Bungay cottages

Holiday lets and self-catering accommodation in Bungay

In the heart of the Waveney Valley, historic Bungay is a fabulous base for a holiday full of variety. The river forms the border between Suffolk and Norfolk and, just to its east, this vibrant market town is famous for the 17th-century Butter Cross at its centre. Close by are Benedictine priory ruins, majestic St Mary’s church and a castle, while a range of independent stores line the town’s main thoroughfares. Known for its gentle pace of life, Bungay is an idyllic choice for a couples’ escape, but has enough going on to entertain groups of family and friends too. The town champions all things local – prepare to indulge in the very best food, drinks and produce during your self-catering break. 

Bungay’s easy to explore on foot, and for adventures further afield there are many walking and cycling routes to choose from: the 24-mile Godric Way begins at the Butter Cross, you can join Bigod’s Way – which encircles the town – from the castle, or follow a trail from the market place to St Peter’s Brewery in the countryside to the south. Quench your thirst with a trip to Flint Vineyard near Earsham – join a tour and you’ll receive a guided tasting afterwards. There’s much for children to enjoy on a Bungay holiday too, including the fabulous swimming pool and flume at Waveney Valley Leisure Centre. For more family days out head to Southwold where you’ll find an iconic pier, sandy beach and harbour, plus upmarket boutiques, galleries and eateries to suit every taste. Our curated collection of Bungay holiday accommodation caters for everyone… which will you choose?
