“Bawdsey Hall's real draw is its immersion in nature; the wildlife in the garden, visible from the rooms or even via a live feed, provides constant, engaging company. While the rooms are adequately sized and clean, the thoughtfully delivered breakfast elevates the stay. It's a quietly comfortable base from which to explore the Suffolk coast.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Uksuffolk
