I grew up in Suffolk, and as the daughter of a (retired) restaurateur, was surrounded by a family where the main topic of conversation was FOOD (and eating)!

Staying in self-catering accommodation is a great way to experience all of the culinary delights that Suffolk has to offer.

Mary Gundry's iconic paintings of the coast really do capture the essence of Suffolk’s beautiful seaside towns such as Southwold and Walberswick.

It’s beginning to feel very festive in Suffolk. Father Christmas himself will be visiting Snape Maltings this weekend, but don’t look out for his sleigh or reindeer, he'll be arriving in style aboard a beautiful Thames sailing barge!

Set within a designated Area of Outstanding Beauty, Snape Maltings is a wonderful place to visit whilst taking a short break or longer stay in one of our Suffolk cottages.

Situated on the banks of the River Deben, Woodbridge will be celebrating one of the world's favourite aphrodisiacs at its annual Shuck Festival, 4-6 October 2013.
