Set in the peaceful village of Wangford, just three miles from the charming seaside town of Southwold, Alec Hill’s Bakehouse is a wonderfully romantic escape for couples seeking rest, comfort, and a touch of adventure. This former village bakehouse, once filled with the scent of freshly baked loaves and the warmth of daily village life, has been lovingly restored into a cosy hideaway where, history and modern charm blend seamlessly. Every detail reflects thoughtful design from the exposed beams and soft lighting to the elegant décor and contemporary comforts that make your stay effortless.
Inside, the open-plan living space offers everything you need for a truly relaxing break. There is a well-equipped kitchen area. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the breakfast bar, or curl up in the comfortable seating area with a favourite book or a glass of wine as soft light filters through the windows.

The tranquil bedroom features French doors and opens onto a lovely, enclosed, gently tiered garden with multiple seating areas, perfect for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or an evening spent under the stars. Fluffy dressing gowns, crisp quality linens, and thoughtful finishing touches add a sense of indulgence, ensuring every moment feels wonderfully special.
When you’re ready to explore, Wangford’s welcoming atmosphere invites you to stroll through the village to its friendly pub, serving first class dishes and locally brewed ales. The village also boasts a much-loved church, an exceptional, well-stocked shop, and a delightful farm shop selling fresh, seasonal produce and Suffolk specialities. Wangford-cum-Henham has historic connections with the Earls of Stradbroke and Henham Park. Beyond the Bakehouse, Suffolk’s picturesque countryside and heritage breathtaking coastline await discovery.

Southwold, with its iconic beach huts, pier, and lighthouse, offers the quintessential English seaside experience. Wander along the beach to the harbour, where a tiny row boat can carry you across to Walberswick, a haven of charm, coastal walks, and traditional crabbing!
For foodies and gin lovers, the Adnams Brewery and Distillery offer tastings, tours, and even the chance to craft your own gin.
