  • "Beautiful comfortable two storey apartment in a fascinating rural complex."

    This is close to some great Suffolk destinations and as an added bonus there is complimentary use of an indoor pool and games room

  • "Lovely, clean and very comfortable house with everything we needed to enjoy our stay, including wine and biscuits when we arrived."

    Very quiet location and close enough to surrounding towns and villages to be able to visit easily. Couple of nice pubs with good food 5 minute drive away.

  • "A beautiful place to stay with every facility that you could need on a short break."

    Very quiet and peaceful. You do need a car to explore the area as some of the roads are not walker friendly in my view. The number of stairs was a problem for us and I should have checked this before booking. It was a nightmare getting the luggage up two steep flights and then back down again after our weeks break. However we enjoyed ourselves anyway.

  • "Saffron, Blyth View, is the perfect location for exploring northern Suffolk; lovely local villages and small towns with excellent shops, restaurants & cafes, beaches and (for us, really important) amazing churches & venues to enjoy."

    The flat is very spacious and comfortable, and well equipped for a short, relaxing stay. It's wonderfully quiet and restful. Our week was slightly marred by the TV system not working (with thoughtful if ultimately ineffectual help online) - we managed with mini I-pads and CDs (there wasn't a player listed so we had brought our own, with some CDs, being ancient techies) and lots of books - which was very good.

  • "A beautiful stay for my daughters and I - Saffron was so comfortable with all of the home comfort needed for a wonderful break away."

    The location was quiet and yet we had easy access to lots of activities in the local area, stunning walks and the coast. The facilities available were a massive hit for us, especially the ease with which we could book a pool slot which we used everyday! We would love to come back!

    Thanks so much for your positive feedback on your stay at Saffron in Blythburgh. I was delighted to read your 8-year old daughter Aiyla's heartwarming comments in the guest book. I sincerely hope you will be able to come back another time. Best wishes Property Owner

  • "Lovely accommodation In beautiful setting."

    .I think there should be a mat outside door to wipe feet on before stepping in even though there is one inside helps protect lovely carpet.Fridge/ Freezer needs adjusting,when opening fridge the freezer door opens noticed that the freezer draws were solid with ice,dosnt close properly difficult to open.Soap dispensers need to be refilled,were half empty.Will definitely return.Thank you.

    Dear Pamela, I am delighted you had a good stay and plan to return. I have a handyman going to adjust the freezer door issue. Regarding the door mat: I have considered this in the past but as a Grade II listed property we are not allowed anything permanent and I have yet to find a suitable mat that serves the purpose and is still pleasing to the eye! I had already purchased new soap dispensers, but have not had a chance to get down to Saffron in past weeks. That said, housekeeping should have put out small soaps for each basin. I apologise for any inconvenience and look forward to welcoming you back to Saffron in the future. Paul Property Owner

The open-plan living space is located on the first-floor and boasts a spacious sitting area with tasteful blue décor to reflect the setting near to the sea.

Outside there are acres and acres of grounds to explore as well as a fabulous communal swimming pool and gymnasium, which subject to availability, gives guests the opportunity to enjoy a dip and a workout.

While it’s tempting never to leave the home comforts of Saffron, there is so much to see and do, you need to get out and about exploring.

Just a short distance away is stunning Southwold where you will find a great selection of shops and eateries as well as a pier, lighthouse and fantastic sandy beaches and what it’s best known for: its collection of brightly coloured beach huts.

Head along the coast and check out other seaside towns such as Aldeburgh, Thorpeness, Dunwich and Walberswick.

Jump in the car for a scenic drive to attractions such as Halesworth Museum, Framlingham Castle, Sutton Hoo, Go Ape Thetford, Easton Farm Park and Africa Alive Zoological Reserve.
