Holiday Cottages in Suffolk

Suffolk surprised us. We came for Anglo-Saxon treasures and Norman castles, but we were seduced by the peace and the oodles of beautiful little lanes for riding tandem.

Add spanking fresh vegetables, immaculately tasty fish and very friendly people and we had a holiday that's stayed with us for a long time.

And something else that stayed with us: the sadness of seeing villages and their hundreds of years of history disappear into the sea, churches with unusual round towers, with spires reaching valiantly into the sky, too big for the tiny villages they serve, and water towers that look as if they're art.

As for places to stay: holiday cottages in Suffolk are almost in a league of their own. I cannot think of another county where so many old buildings have been so lovingly restored. So whether you're looking for a tiny characterful hideaway for two or a large Victorian town house for 10, Suffolk will not disappoint.

Here's a small taster of what historical marvels you could be staying in...
