Quiet holiday park with landscaped grounds for guests 50 and over
In rural Suffolk, 15 minutes' drive from Ipswich or Felixstowe
Fully-furnished lodge accommodation in a private setting; communal gym

Bucklesham Park is a relaxing holiday park exclusively for guests aged 50 and over. This peaceful Suffolk spot is in a rural location so surrounded by peace and quiet, but it's also easily accessible from the A14 and A12, allowing you to get into larger local towns like Ipswich or Felixstowe within a quarter of an hour's drive. The lodges at Bucklesham Park are finished to a high standard and fully furnished for relaxing rural breaks. The accommodation units at this family-owned site each come with a private plot of landscaped gardens and parking for two cars, while inside the lodges are equipped with a wide range of facilities to make your self-catering break as comfortable as possible. The park also has access to a communal gym that you're welcome to use, as well as a site office and reception at the main gate where staff are on hand to help with any queries. This quiet location is on the edge of the small village of Bucklesham, within walking distance of a lavender farm and a five-minute drive from a top-rated local pub. For walks, you're a couple of miles from the banks of the rivers Deben and Orwell, while the scenic sights of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are accessible in under a quarter of an hour.
