Farm site with coastal views near Southwold, Suffolk
A 15-minute drive to Walberswick and Africa Alive Zoological Reserve
Padel court and ping pong; 20 minutes’ walk from the beach

A stay at the Suffolk seaside? And a short drive from Southwold? What’s not to love? Especially at Pigs in Blankets, an off-grid site scattered across a six-acre meadow on a working livestock farm. It’s only a 20-minute walk into the lively seaside town of Southwold for pubs and supermarkets (and the cool shops on its high streets), and, within reception hours, you can buy locally sourced meat, milk, eggs and ice cream from the fridge and freezer on site. The Dutch Barn is the focal point of the site, hosting all sorts of amenities, from washing-up sinks and shower and toilet facilities to ping pong and a coffee machine. From Wednesday to Sunday, take the kids to the petting barn for some time with the animals. Pigs Padel, the on-site padel court, is open every day from early morning to late evening. If it's open (hours vary throughout the season), you could settle in for a drink afterwards at the on-site bar, The Grain Shed. While on site, you’ll have constant views of the farm animals, the neighbouring wildfowl marshland and the lovely Suffolk coastline. A golf course is within walking distance. Lowestoft is a 25-minute drive to the north, too, and if you carry on up the coast, it's another 15 minutes on top to Great Yarmouth.
