Situated in the Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB, Vale Farm and Vale View are set in 10 acres of private, stunning and secluded grounds with two lakes, wildflower meadows, trees and lawns. It is a wildlife haven with otters, deer, kingfishers, herons and numerous other birdlife. Whilst secluded, Vale View is less than half a mile walk from the centre of Hollesley village where there is a shop, post office and pub. The coast at Shingle Street is just 2 ¾ miles drive and the popular local towns of Woodbridge and Aldeburgh are 8 and 11 miles away. Vale View is the perfect choice for those keen on wildlife, cycling, walking or those just wanting some simple peace and quiet.

Originally a small port, the village of Hollesley (pronounced Hose-Lea) includes the hamlet of Shingle Street, where the River Alde finally meets the sea, emerging from the shingle spit of Orford Ness. Surrounded by great footpaths this area of Suffolk has some fantastic views over the countryside and the North Sea. Although Hollesley seems like a remote location it is only 8 miles from the busy market town of Woodbridge with its wealth of independent shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants. Also nearby is the charming village of Orford and a bit further up the coast are the popular traditional seaside towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold. The county town of Ipswich is 16 miles away.

A unique setting for a very well appointed property. The grounds are wonderful , perfect for walking round in the evening. It was so lovely we cancelled eating out so that we could stay to relax looking out of the huge window at the lake and gardens. Vale View is in a perfect location for Woodbridge and the coast.

Probably the best property we have stayed in. Surroundings of so many acres was ideal fro us and especially our dog. Would love to return in spring time. Shepherd and Dog on the village was very welcoming with sensibly prices food.

Site is really nice, and good of owners to share majority of grounds with guests. Only downside for us were a road diversion beyond the control of owners. Would love to stay there again.

An unusual location in the countryside but close to many attractions, beaches and forests in this part of Suffolk. The accommodation was comfortable and the hosts, Kate and Ian, were keen to see all was in order. We enjoyed having access to their extensive garden and invited to pick fruit from their orchard.
