A short car journey takes you to the  historic town of Framlingham, with its famous castle and many independent shops, cafes and restaurants.

The accommodation comprises of a generous kitchen, open plan sitting/dining room with welcoming wood burner, three bedrooms and a bathroom, making it well suited for up to 5 guests. All accommodation is set out over the one level which is ideal for guests with some mobility problems, and there is parking for three cars to the front of the property. At the back is a glorious sun trap of a conservatory and outside there is space to relax in the small courtyard garden with pretty borders and a bistro set. Swinton is a great option for family or friends looking for a self-catering stay to enjoy Suffolk coast and countryside.

This Suffolk holiday bolthole benefits from being tucked in the Suffolk countryside and yet being only 15 minutes from the Suffolk coast!  The seaside town of Aldeburgh is a must during your stay. This quintessential town has a wealth of cafes, shops, restaurants on its famously independent high street. It’s the perfect spot to pick up some award-winning fish n’ chips to enjoy on the beach!  Woodbridge is just a short drive away, taking only 15 minutes by car you can enjoy the popular high street and wonderful riverside walks. Southwold with its sandy beach, popular high street, and unusual Pier, along with neighbouring Walberswick are just a 30 minute drive away.

The property is well laid out with everything we needed for a week spent out and about. The location is a little further from the coastal towns than we had thought, but road connections are good so it made little difference.

Three generations recently stayed at Swinton. It is well furnished and equipped for a family holiday. Ideally situated for visiting all that Suffolk has to offer. The "treat tray" was much appreciated Lovely pub along the road.

We have enjoyed some lovely rest and relaxation at Swinton. It is very spacious and comfortable with lots of thought put into personal touches. Thank you for the welcome tray, it was much appreciated. The bungalow is so well situated for lots of trips out. We will certainly consider another visit. Thanks again.

Wow!! Our family has recently returned from a fantastic holiday in Suffolk. We stayed at Swinton Bungalow in Stratford St. Andrew, which was absolutely fantastic in every way. Every home comfort was available and so much more!! (Extra special mention about the most comfortable beds ever) The lovely owners Delores and Steve had very kindly left a fRead moreabulous welcome basket full of yummy treats, which we all enjoyed. We could not have stayed in a better location for experiencing this incredible part of Suffolk. Swinton Bungalow is situated up a very quiet lane just off of the A12, which enabled us to visit many attractions (all within a maximum half hour drive, and all suitable for our family party, where our age range was 7 to 70). A week is simply not long enough to see everything that we wanted to see. Our Grandson said that it was the best holiday ever, and we totally agree with him. Like Arnie said "We will be back". Hide

We hadnt realised how much we needed a break until we started to unwind soon after arriving at Swinton. Very peaceful location but excellent for exploring some of our favourite locations like Southwold, Walberswick, Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings.
