View and BookMollett's Farm Certificated Location is a family run site on a small working farm in the heart of the Suffolk Heritage Coastal area. The site is well maintained and accessible in all weather conditions and benefits from additional parking facilities. We are easy to find as the entrance is directly off the A12, just before the Aldeburgh turning, however the site is tranquil as it lies well away from the road.
The site is an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area either by foot, bicycle or car. We are a short drive from the beautiful towns of Framingham with its medieval castle, Woodbridge, home to the Anglo-Saxon burial ground of Sutton Hoo as well as many other historical buildings of interest and a delightful array of shops and restaurants and the seaside towns of Southwold and Aldeburgh, which is just six mile away, with its world famous concert hall of Snape Maltings just a five minute drive away which also offers a shopping complex and some lovely eateries. So exploring Suffolk's heritage Coast using Mollett's Farm as your base is ideal.
We have lovely local shops and farm shops as well as supermarkets all within easy reach. The local farm shop is a five minute walk across the fields from the site. In addition Farm produce is often available upon request.
The local railway station is in Saxmundham our nearest town, a five minute drive, and goes to Lowestoft, the most easterly point in the UK and gateway to the Broads as well as providing easy access to Ipswich our county town.
The Latitude Festival on the Henham Estate in July is also within easy reach. Aldeburgh, the home of the composer Benjamin Britten, also hosts numerous musical events throughout the year.
Locally there are many restaurants and pubs in the surrounding towns and villages as well as numerous other historical sites and areas of outstanding natural beauty. Mollett's Farm Certified Location is within easy reach of Minsmere (RSPB) and Orford (National Trust) nature reserves. If you are a dog owner and lover then there are lovely walks up at Dunwich as well as round the Maltings, indeed it is walking distance from the site across beautiful countryside.
With a packed calendar of events in Suffolk throughout the year there is something to please everyone.
Car charging available on site at a cost (see pricing notes) also available at Co-op, Wickham Market (7 kW Fast Charger).
