For holidays in Suffolk, the award-winning Cakes & Ale Holiday Park is a wonderful family-run campsite set in 45 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds on the Suffolk Heritage Coast. It is a family-friendly campsite which also has a separate adults-only area for anyone looking for a little more peace and quiet.
Established in the 1960s, the park is named after a quote by Shakespeare that refers to the good life. And it's certainly the good life at this friendly, well-kept and peaceful park where you can relax and unwind in scenic surroundings with a variety of activities and attractions nearby.
The Suffolk Heritage coast is on your doorstep at this campsite, while the pretty, arty town of Aldeburgh with its Blue Flag beach is only a 15-minute drive away, and the small, seaside town of Southwold about a half-hour drive away.
There are plenty of things to see and do on your holidays in Suffolk, quite apart from the stunning natural beauty of this county. The predominately 14th century remains of Leiston Abbey are very near this campsite, RSPB Minsmere just a 10-minute drive away, plus the famous Anglo-Saxon royal burial site of Sutton Hoo is about half an hour away by car.
As you sweep into this former airbase, you see a model propeller plane and a statue of an airman with a cup of tea in his hand outside reception. Behind reception is the Yoxford Boys' Bar which overlooks the children's play area and pitches. It's a quirky and unusual welcome to a campsite that you will want to return to year after year.
Since the campsite is on a former airfield, there's a lot of history to uncover which you can find out more about during your stay. The airfield in question was Leiston Airfield, which at one time was occupied by the 363rd Squadron, 357th Fighter Group of the United States Army Air Forces. Much of the airfield is now farmland, but you may wish to visit the Leiston Airfield Heritage Centre during your holiday to learn more about where you're staying.
Touring caravans, motorhomes and tents are welcome and the owners ensure there are never too many people on site at a time, preferring to give guests a good amount of space in which to enjoy their camping, motorhome and caravan holidays. All the pitches boast water, electric and grey water connections with Wi-Fi available for a modest fee. Visitors also have the use of a refurbished amenities block, with individual wet rooms, showers, toilets, an indoor washing up area, washing machines and tumble dryers.
There are also three log cabin style holiday lodges to rent which are all double glazed, have free Wi-Fi and all the linen is provided. The Blyth and the Deben sleep four, with a double room and a double/twin room, family bathroom, fitted kitchen and Sky TV. For larger groups, there is also a five-berth option at The Minsmere.
Make this tranquil park your regular retreat when you create your own holiday home-from-home to visit almost all year round. You can design your second home to suit your taste, wallet, size, specification and even colour scheme when you buy a holiday home in Suffolk at Cakes & Ale Holiday Park.
