Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Badley

Badley holiday cottages are ideally located for exploring Suffolk’s glorious coast and countryside. This welcoming village is south of Stowmarket and nine miles north of Ipswich. Badley is a short train journey or drive from London, Norwich and Cambridge but has remained a peaceful destination largely untouched by tourism. On the village’s doorstep, woods, farmland, marshes and heathland are a paradise for walking and wildlife-watching. Travel eastward, and you will soon reach the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Suffolk Coast National Nature Reserve, where vast shingle beaches, ancient fishing villages and charming resorts await discovery.

Take a walk from your holiday cottage in Badley, and you will discover a traditional Suffolk community with a population of roughly 100. Pretty cottages and farm buildings are scattered along the country roads leading into the centre, where the listed 15th-century church of St Mary can be found at the end of a rough, mile-long track. Three miles north of Badley, Stowmarket is a delightful place for wandering. Head to Bury Street and Old Fox Yard for a variety of independent shops, cafes and restaurants. See what’s on at the Regal Theatre and Cinema if you fancy an evening out. Two miles south of Badley, the ancient town of Needham Market lies on the banks of the River Gipping, with a range of shops, pubs and cafes.

Self-catering holidays in Badley are ideal if you want to make day trips to the classic Suffolk seaside resorts of Felixstowe, Aldeburgh, Southwold and Great Yarmouth. Bury St Edmunds is not to be missed with its cathedral and an ancient abbey, a scenic half-hour drive westward. The excellent Museum of East Anglia and the ancient burial ground at Sutton Hoo are also nearby. Badley is easily accessible from Stowmarket Railway Station, with direct trains to London and Norwich.
