Alec Hill’s Bakehouse

Couples and those traveling with one pet will find Alec Hill's Bakehouse a quiet retreat in the East Suffolk village of Wangford, three miles from Southwold. The entire property is yours alone—a former bakehouse converted into a single open-plan living space with bedroom and shower room, all on the ground floor. The kitchen is equipped for proper cooking; the sitting area has a TV for downtime. An enclosed, tiered garden with seating is accessible from the bedroom, and parking is on the road outside.

The double bedroom and shower cubicle are compact but complete with towels and quality linens provided. Heating, electricity, Wi-Fi and a welcome pack are included in your stay. The village location means The Angel Inn is within a mile for evening meals and drinks without the drive. No smoking is permitted indoors. There are three steps within the garden itself, worth noting if mobility is a concern.

This suits anyone wanting a proper break without fuss—somewhere to read, walk the surrounding lanes, or simply close the door on everyday life for a few days. Pets stay free, making it practical for those who travel with animals.
