Hotels in Framlingham

Tracing its history back to Anglo Saxon times, Framlingham is a gorgeous town surrounded by picturesque Suffolk countryside with a buzzing tourist trade.

The best time to visit a charming Framlingham hotel is during the annual summer festival, called Arts Framlingham. The town really comes alive at this time of year, but whenever you choose to visit, you won't be short of things to do.

Exploring the area

The top must-see for anyone holidaying in Framlingham has to be Framlingham Castle. With the oldest parts dating right back to the 12th century, this amazingly preserved castle is a real mix of stunning architecture through the centuries. You can easily lose yourself for hours wandering around it.

One of the perks of the lush countryside in the area is the ability to grow grapes. And if you'd like to sample some authentic Suffolk wine, head down to Shawsgate Vineyard for a fun afternoon. Or get out and about in a very different way at Easton Farm Park, where the kids can go on pony rides and pet the animals.

History enthusiasts won't be disappointed with the Parham Airfield Museum either. Charting the WWII resistance, it's an intriguing stop.

In the town

To make the most of Framlingham itself, try and stay close to the town centre. The traditional and atmospheric Crown Hotel is popular, and B&B's include The Round House and Boundary Farm.

Restaurants and cafés are dotted throughout the town too, so you can take your pick. The Common Room café and The Lemon Tree bistro are two favourites, and The Crown Inn and The Station Hotel are great local pubs.

So for a relaxing trip in lovely surroundings, check out Framlingham – it's the perfect place to escape to.
