East Coast Hideaways - Holiday homes

We turn down properties to curate the 35 we have. Why? Because if we wouldn’t stay there ourselves, it doesn’t make the cut. 🏡

We don't do tired rentals or mystery smells. We do places where you arrive, drop your bags, and immediately feel like you made the right decision.

Whether you're looking for a romantic cabin for two or a sprawling barn for the whole family, we’ve found the good ones so you don't have to.

What’s the one thing a holiday cottage MUST have for you?

With its rolling countryside, charming market towns, unspoilt coastline and slower pace of life, Suffolk has long been one of England’s best-kept secrets. While destinations such as Southwold and Aldeburgh continue to attract visitors, there are plenty of lesser-known corners of the county offering equally memorable escapes, whether you’re planning a romantic weekend, a family seaside break or a countryside gathering with friends.

Curated by holiday cottage company East Coast Hideaways, here are four hidden gems to discover in Suffolk -

The six-week school holidays are looming, and if the thought of trying to keep everyone entertained is already making you need a lie-down, we can help. Our family-friendly hideaways are built for real life. We're talking enclosed gardens so the kids and the dog can run wild safely, easy access to the beach, and enough space that you don't feel like you're living on top of each other.

No "strictly no children under 12" rules here. Bring everyone. Even the cat if you'd like to.

The dog has given up. He's been lying on the kitchen tiles since 9am, refusing to move, giving you a look that says "sort this out."
He's not wrong. 🐾 Hot pavements, no shade, a garden that's basically a frying pan, it's not a great week to be a dog in the city. But a beach? A beach at 8am when the sand is still cool, the sea is right there, and there's nobody else around? That's a different story entirely. Still some availability this week and next. Your dog is asking nicely. 👇

It's going to be a bit warm this weekend. Your house will be a greenhouse. The paddling pool will be a warm bath. The dog will melt.

You know what's 5–10 degrees cooler and has a sea breeze? The coast. While the rest of the country is slowly dissolving on the sofa, our hideaways in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Lincolnshire are sitting right on the edge of the North Sea, where the air actually moves, the evenings cool down properly, and the beach is a two-minute walk from the front door.

We still have a few last-minute dates available this weekend and next week:
Harpers Cottage - Friday to Monday - £578
Deberri - Monday - Friday - £1712
Seawaves Cottage - Monday to Friday - £784
Udder Cottage - Monday to Thursday - £448

We know exactly what most Dads want for Father’s Day, and its not another pair of novelty socks. It’s a quiet pint in a local pub, a long walk where the dog actually behaves, and a comfortable armchair to fall asleep in afterwards.

If you want to win favourite child status this year, skip the panic and book him a weekend away instead. We’ve got cottages near some of the best dog-friendly pubs on the coast, with zero smelly rugs and plenty of room for the whole family.

Peaceful and still, the perfect swimming condition 💛 could we tempt you? 😉

Another ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review. Seawaves Cottage is just a couple of minutes from Pakefield's dog-friendly beach, making it ideal for morning walks, sea swims, paddleboarding, or simply escaping the everyday for a few days.

A big thank you to our lovely guests for taking the time to leave such kind feedback.
