The Best Homes in Saxmundham

Whale Song

• 14 guests

• 7 bedrooms

Aldeburgh, Suffolk

An alternative to the usual beach cottage, this veritable castle by the sea is a perfect getaway for anyone who just can’t cut down a guest list. Seven bedrooms mean there’s room for everyone you want to invite (and the garden and spacious living areas mean that you won’t regret bringing them).

Oak Smoke

• 6 guests

• 3 bedrooms

Snape, Saxmundham

Set in the tiny riverside village of Snape, this characterful cottage is like a fairy-tale setting come to life – but with better wifi. In the charming streets close by, you’ll find cosy pubs for a swift pint and hearty grub and village shops for browsing.

Jacobean Gem

• 5 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Farnham, Suffolk

We can see why this cottage was in The Sunday Times' Coolest 100 Cottages' list – it's a Jacobean dream, full of original character and quirky features. Once home to the miller of Plomesgate Mill, it now houses wonderful antiques, such as a fantastic 1700s Breton bed built straight into the wall, a gorgeous oak four-poster and a working 1800s kitchen range.
