Property information
The Lantern and Larks site of Sweffling is nestled between Framlingham, Southwold and Aldeburgh, meaning this glamping site is perfectly located for discovering the Suffolk coast.

Neighbourhood information
The small village of Sweffling is situated in the Alde Valley and there are numerous footpaths close to the cottage so that you can explore on foot. Going further afield you will need a bicycle or car. The bustling market town of Framlingham is 10 minutes by car and boasts the imposing 'Castle on the Hill'. Framlingham Castle is well worth a visit and there are a number of additional events held throughout the year which you can get involved with. The town has a busy market on Tuesdays and Saturdays with lots of local produce on offer.
The coast is a short distance from the village. If you prefer somewhere a little quieter it is worth heading to the beach at Sizewell or Dunwich whilst the towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold have lots of shops, cafes and restaurants to try. The RSPB nature reserve at Minsmere is located between Dunwich and Sizewell and provides a unique coast and heathland environment to spot lots of wildlife.
Heading back to Sweffling, there is a pub in the village, The White Horse which is 5 minutes walk from the cottage. Heading in the other direction, Rendham has a small village shop and cafe, Juniper Barn which provides light snacks, lunches and afternoon tea. Just 20 minutes from the charming seaside town of Aldeburgh and 45 minutes from popular Southwold, this is the perfect place from which to explore the beautiful Suffolk coast. Spend your days playing on the sandy beaches or discovering the many coastal paths, all finished off by the all-important fish and chips!
For those who’d rather stay closer to home, there are dozens of chocolate-box villages and miles of rolling countryside to discover, either by bike or on your own two feet - ideal for people wanting to get out and about in the great outdoors. Framlingham Castle and Snape Maltings are well worth a visit. The site itself is located on a working farm, with fresh eggs, open fields and well-tended woodland all around the six spacious tents.
For younger guests, there’s plenty...
