Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Samundham

Saxmundham holiday cottages are ideally located for exploring Suffolk’s unspoiled countryside and coast. Vast swathes of purple heather, heath and marshland surround the town, while long, shingle beaches await discovery a few miles east. Despite its proximity to London, this tranquil area has remained gloriously uncrowded, making it a paradise for exploring ancient woods, grand Tudor homes and picturesque villages, which time seems to have forgotten. This ancient market town is just a short drive from the Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Landscape and the enchanting Suffolk Coast National Nature Reserve.

Wandering along the river bank into the town centre, you’ll pass a series of historic landmarks on Church Hill, including the graceful St John the Baptist Church. Look out for the quaint Monks Cottages, the beautifully painted town sign and the old post mill tower. Saxmundham’s maze of streets is packed with independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. There’s also an excellent museum where the story of this thriving market town is told. A market is held every Wednesday at Market Place, just off the High Street, with a variety of stalls selling fresh produce from the Suffolk fields and coast. Head to KB Stannard and Son for the highest-quality meat.

From your holiday cottage in Saxmundham, some of the area’s best places to eat and drink will be a stroll away. Try the Bell Hotel for a pint of local ale or a delicious meal with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Main’s Restaurant and Trinity’s also have a good reputation, while Trawler’s Catch is the place to go for fish and chips. Saxmundham is also an excellent base for visiting Suffolk’s classic seaside resorts, with Felixstowe, Aldeburgh, Southwold and Great Yarmouth all a short and scenic drive away.
