Dog-friendly site on the historic grounds of RAF Leiston, Suffolk
Leiston town five minutes’ drive; Aldeburgh 15 minutes
On-site bar; playground; tennis courts and golf practice range

Accommodation with a side of deliciousness? Why on earth not. If you’re into the idea, head to the heavenly sounding Cakes and Ale Holiday Park, a peaceful site five minutes’ drive from the Suffolk coast. The ales (and cheeky G&Ts) flow liberally at the light-filled on-site pub. The Yoxford Boys Bar is named after the 357th Fighter Group, which was stationed right here – that’s right: Cakes and Ale sits on the historic grounds of RAF Leiston, a World War II airfield. That chapter of history is underlined further by the model plane in front of the reception building; there’s also a memorial to the soldiers who served here near the westernmost corner of the site. As for the cakes, there are a handful of bakeries and patisseries in the nearby town of Leiston (five minutes’ drive, or a half-hour walk)… Cakes and Ale stretches across 45 acres of well-tended grounds with facilities ranging from tennis courts to a golf practice range. The lawn ought to delight both the children (if they’re not into running around freely, they can also rely on a playground with an adventure course) and any four-legged companions – watch them as they take off after a well-thrown ball. A small shop in the reception area sells essentials (both food and toiletries), or you can make the short trip into Leiston for supermarkets and a handful of dining options, including fish and chips and Chinese takeaways.

Local attractions

Take a long stroll through Westleton Heath National Nature Reserve (10 minutes’ drive) and explore purple heather-covered dunes stretching as far as Dunwich Heath and Beach. Meanwhile, RSPB Minsmere ought to appeal to wildlife enthusiasts, who might catch sight of avocets and – if they’re in luck – the occasional otter. Aldeburgh (15 minutes) has a pebbly beach dotted with fishermen’s boats and anchored at its northern end by The Scallop, a large shell installation in honour of local resident Benjamin Britten. Inland, the Red House, where Britten lived from 1957, displays artefacts and scores of the composer. Christchurch Mansion, on the edge of Ipswich’s leafy Christchurch Park, houses decorative art collections, as well as paintings by Suffolk artists Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable. After your visit, head for cocktails and dinner on the revamped waterfront, and maybe catch a show at the Regent Theatre.
