Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Geldestone

The village of Geldeston lies near the banks of the River Waveney, on the edge of the Norfolk Broads National Park. On the doorstep of your holiday cottage in Geldeston, you will find some of Norfolk’s most idyllic countryside, with unspoiled woods, fields and waterways to explore. Local landmarks to look out for include the distinctive round-tower church of St Michael, which dates back to 1150, and the Village Hall, which was opened in 1924. Near the village green is a rare example of a crinkle crankle wall. A visit to the Locks Inn is a must on self-catering holidays in Geldeston. This atmospheric pub is known for its candlelit bar area and serves good food and a variety of local ales. The Wherry Inn is another charming pub, further north, by the river’s Main Run Drain. The neighbouring market town of Beccles is well worth a visit, with markets, boutiques and antique shops. Looming over the town, the 16th-century bell tower of St Michael’s Church can be seen for miles. For a day by the sea, take a scenic drive through the countryside to the Suffolk resort of Southwold, where you will find a sandy beach backed by beach huts, a pier, and a lighthouse.
