meet your hosts
Dear Guests,
A warm welcome to The Hideout. We hope you enjoy a wonderful stay here.
In this folder you will find some useful information on the property as well as our
local suggestions on where to eat, drink and visit. We have also included some
local walks, cycle routes, emergency telephone numbers, along with some
instructions for appliances and items in the house.
The Hideout has been recently renovated by us, as keen travellers with two small
boys (and a Norfolk Terrier called Archie), we have carefully considered things you
may require during your stay and how the house may be used –
so we hope we’ve ticked all of the right boxes for you.
Please feel free to leave us a message in our guest book about your time here.
Once again, we very much hope you have a fantastic stay with us!
With best wishes,
Sam & Rachel

about
t h e h o u s e
We purchased The Hideout in March 2022 after we fell in love with its period
features and ideal town centre location. It's just a hop, skip and a jump away from
our favourite fish and chip shop, Oakfired pizzeria and Tesco superstore.
The colour scheme throughout has been carefully considered and we've taken
great pleasure in making a house feel like a home by adding luxurious soft
furnishings and statement pieces including our neon sign.
We've also included a few little touches that we think we would like from a holiday
rental from kitchen gadgets to a DIY cocktail bar and cosy sofas.

about
b e c c l e s
Situated in the heart of the beautiful market town of Beccles, The Hideout is just a
short walk away from the local train and bus stations as well as local shops, pubs
and restaurants. Beccles itself is made up of small market squares and winding
streets nestle by the River Waveney with fantastic views of the Southern broads.
The town centre provides a blend of quirky, independent shops, restaurants, cafes
and other services that make it a highly desirable place to visit. There are a host
of community events, festivals and entertainment held throughout the year.
Beccles offers a wealth of diversity, combining history with modern-day culture.

Covehithe is a beach where

Suffolk
C O A
S T
Who doesn’t love the seaside? We may be a little biased, but we think that the Suffolk Coast is just beautiful!
During your stay, you can discover picturesque seaside towns with colourful beach huts, stunning coastal
nature reserves and wonderful walks. The Suffolk Coast is the perfect place to take your holiday!
ALDEBURGH AND SURROUNDING
VILLAGES
Situated in the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Aldeburgh was once a thriving port and
shipbuilding town. Now it is a vibrant coastal oasis with plenty of independent shops and eateries to enjoy.
On the pretty shingle beach, you will see Fisherman’s huts selling the day’s catch, and Maggi Hambling’s
metal scallop shell sculpture, which is her tribute to Benjamin Britten, the town’s most famous resident and
founder of the annual music festival. There are also some lovely hotels overlooking the sea and are perfect
for a drink or a meal with a view.
We love shopping and the stylish High Street has a good mix of shops interspersed with cafés and
restaurants. There is a fantastic grade listed cinema in the High Street and has been showing films for over
100 years! We would highly recommend a visit to see some of your favourite blockbusters.
Take a delightful stroll along Sailor’s Path, a beautiful coastal stretch, that leads you to the quaint holiday
village of Thorpeness, a genteel seaside resort, and the inspiration of Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie. Almost all of
it was built in the early 20th Century and his idea was to create the perfect family holiday environment for
himself and his friends to enjoy. With its Mock Jacobean and Tudor style houses, a pretty meare with boats
you can hire, a great pub to enjoy a tipple or two and a golf and country club, we think Thorpeness ticks all
the boxes for a great holiday destination!
Snape Maltings is just a few miles from Aldeburgh and is home to the world-famous ‘Concert Hall’, where a
varied programme of music, arts and exhibitions take place throughout the year. It is also home to an array
of wonderful shops and eating places to keep all the family happy. There are river cruises along the River
Alde, and it hosts many special events, including Farmers Markets and the Aldeburgh Food and Drink
Festival.
SOUTHWOLD AND SURROUNDING
VILLAGES
We think Southwold ticks all the boxes for a perfect seaside holiday and we hope you will agree. The
stunning sandy seafront is lined with coloured beach huts and the promenade stretches all along the
beachfront and leads right into the heart of the town.
Its interwoven streets lined with gorgeous cottages and grand townhouses, there is plenty of wonderful
architecture to see.

The High Street offers an eclectic mix of independent shops, tea rooms, delis, restaurants, and hotels. Here,
you will also find the Adnams shop and factory which offers daily tours. The bustle of the town, with its
commanding Lighthouse can be seen from every angle and is a great place to visit during your stay. You
can climb to the very top and experience the wonderful views across the North Sea.
Southwold Pier is not to be missed and offers the ‘Under the Pier Show’, arguably the most eccentric
amusement arcade in the country! Southwold Harbour can be reached via the Common or from the town.
There you will find The Harbour Inn and The Sole Bay Fish Co where you can buy the local catch of the day.
You can also take the well-known ferry to get you across to Walberswick.
Walberswick is a quaint and sleepy village, very popular among the rich and famous with many celebrities
said to have second homes there. Crabbing is a common pastime, so make sure you bring a bucket and
crabbing line! The pubs and gift shops are very popular all year round with The Anchor Inn being one of
our favourites for lazy lunches or a tipple or two!
The walk over the bridge and to the village from Southwold is very pleasant and can be accessed either
along the riverbank or following the inland path. The pebble beach is the perfect place to pitch a picnic and
watch the waves roll onto the shore. The Black Dog Deli boasts delicious local produce, perfect for your
picnic on the beach.
Reydon is the first village you come to on the road into Southwold and has many lovely houses and a nice
hotel for food and drinks. There is a great walk from Reydon to Southwold which crosses Buss Creek and
leads directly to Southwold Pier. At the right time of year, you can often see spectacular displays of starling
murmuration’s.
We love shopping and the stylish High Street has a good mix of shops interspersed with cafés and
restaurants. There is a fantastic grade listed cinema in the High Street and has been showing films for over
100 years! We would highly recommend a visit to see some of your favourite blockbusters.

SUFFOLK COASTS AND HEATHS
Suffolk Coasts and Heaths are in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and home to a diverse and
unique landscape and with that comes diverse wildlife. Within
this gorgeous part of Suffolk, you will find the pretty villages of Dunwich, Westleton and Eastbridge.
Dunwich is a small place today, with just a handful of houses and a brilliant pub, but what makes it
fascinating, is that in the 13th Century it was the sixth most important town in England before it gradually
got consumed by the sea. At nearby Dunwich Heath
there are several marked walks, courtesy of the National Trust and adjoin RSPB Minsmere which is a haven
for Twitchers!
Westleton is one of the prettiest villages in this part of Suffolk. Centred around a large green and midway
between Aldeburgh and Southwold, it is one of the most popular places to stay on the Heritage Coast. There
are plenty of wonderful walks to the sea through open heath and mixed woodland and, at the end of a busy
day, the pubs in the village offer a good choice of food. For essential supplies there is also well-stocked local
shop.
The tiny village of Eastbridge is not only home to a famous 16th Century Ale House, The Eels Foot Inn - the
perfect place for an evening drink - it is also the nearest village to RSPB Minsmere. There are various
footpaths from the village to the coast and the reserve.
Middleton has a village green, a pretty thatched pub, and on the road through to nearby Theberton make
sure you look out for the farm shop and café and the amazing ‘metal man’ on the side of the road.
Saxmundham is a charming market town and is the largest in this area, with a busy high street and two
local markets which run weekly on a Wednesday and Friday. There are also two supermarkets, so you can
top up with supplies from here.
Friday Street Farm Shop & Kitchen boasts plenty of local produce from its Butchery, Greengrocers and
Fishmongers. It also includes produce supplied from local businesses such as Aspall, St Peter’s Brewery,
Munchies, Stokes, and Suffolk Meadow ice cream.
THE SHOTLEY PENINSULA
The Shotley Peninsula is one of our favourite places - our very own Suffolk Secret! Set within an Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) the roads wind their way around the estuaries of the River Stour and
River Orwell with quaint villages and towns to explore along the way.

Suffolk
C O A
S T
Just north of the Shotley Peninsula and across the River Orwell, you’ll find Felixstowe which is a
quintessentially British seaside town. Stroll along the beach hut lined promenade and spend your days on
the shores building sandcastles or perhaps try your luck in the arcade amusements!
Beach Street Felixstowe is a unique dining and shopping hot-spot and is made entirely from upcycled
shipping containers! Here you can discover independent shops,
boutiques, and restaurants. There are plenty of places to visit nearby, such as Landguard Fort and Trimley
Marshes.
Chelmondiston is a pretty and thriving village with a good variety of local shops and wonderful walks
throughout nearby Pin Mill and the surrounding area courtesy of the National Trust. Alton Water Reservoir
is a firm favourite of ours, where you can hire canoes, kayaks, row boats, paddleboards and sailing dinghies!
It’s a great day on the water, no matter the weather! Jimmy’s Farm and Wildlife Park is just down the road
too, with plenty of animals, attractions and adventures awaiting. You can even stop there for a spot of
breakfast, lunch, or dinner in the restored restaurant barn.
For some delicious and locally grown holiday supplies, a visit to the award-winning Suffolk Food Hall is a
must! Offering a huge variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, sustainably caught fish and locally reared meat.
There is also kitchen store, garden centre, gift shop and onsite restaurant with views over the river.
Shotley itself is located at the end of the Shotley Peninsular where the River Orwell meets the River Stour.
From Shotley Gate there are views across to Felixstowe and you can watch giant cargo ships being loaded
up before they head off to other ports all over the world.
Our Shotley Peninsula properties offer the perfect base from which to discover other nearby destinations
such as Ipswich Marina, The Butt and Oyster Pub at Pin Mill, and Jimmy’s Farm at Wherstead.
