On the Map: Our Top 20 Places to Stay in Sensational Suffolk

Seriously, what’s not to love about Suffolk?

For starters, the historic county’s famously relaxed atmosphere is borderline addictive – and with Constable Country in abundance, you’ll feel that long-lost creative spirit re-emerging as if by magic! 

Peppered with medieval towns and sleepy villages, there’s also 50 miles of coastline to explore… a mesmerising Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that’ll have you whipping out that camera phone in no time at all.

You could even learn to sail at the shimmering Shotley Peninsula, or just sit back and enjoy a drink along the bustling Ipswich waterfront. 

Whichever activity you choose, an unusual location like Suffolk demands an unusual place to stay. And we’ve got some of the very best for you to browse, right here.
