Saxmundham is a small market town located on the River Fromus, in the heart of Suffolk’s Heritage Coast. The town is well serviced with independent shops, local museum, supermarkets and a train station, as well as art galleries, a weekly market and a farmers’ market. Situated so close to the coast, Saxmundham is a great base for a seaside holiday; within easy reach of Aldeburgh and Thorpeness, as well as Dunwich, Southwold and Walberswick, you could enjoy a different coastal location each day. Also close by is the inland market town Framlingham with beautiful historic architecture, a castle and an array of independent shops. South of the town there is the well known tourist destination of Sutton Hoo, an ancient Royal Anglo-Saxon burial site. With Ipswich an easy drive south, and Norwich an easy drive north, there’s so much to see and do in and around Saxmundham.

The property does feel like it needs a really good clean as it was quite grubby in places but overall we had a lovely stay.

This was an issue when I first made the booking and later, actually staying at the property, when I wanted to extend the booking by a couple of days.

No helpful message regarding where I was in the queue or anything to indicate how long I'd have to wait.

The location was very quiet. We finally worked out how to book the leisure facilities, which were never very busy. We really appreciated the welcome pack.
