Where to stay near to Ipswich

[LazyDoll]

Hi,

We're treating our 3 children (and ourselves!) to a trip to see Ed Sheeran in concert in Ipswich next August.

It makes sense to stay in the area for a week and head to the concert for the 2nd day of our holiday.

We've holidayed a lot in the Norfolk area but only once to Southwold in the Suffolk area and the children were disappointed by the brown sea (😂) so are looking for recommendations in the area.

I've been looking at Aldburgh but any more advice/local knowledge would be fab.

Thanks in advance

Bucks Farm is not too far from the coast. It's a 50 minute drive from Ipswich but you could take the train from nearby Halesworth instead. It's also near to Framlingham, Ed Sheerhan's home town and a few good days out such as Africa Alive and Pleasurewood Hills. Bucks Farm has an indoor pool, a well stocked games room, animals to help feed, and lots of space to play outdoors.

Woodbridge is just outside Ipswich and is lovely, lots of nice self catering places.

Thank you 

Thorpeness!

Another vote for Woodbridge and the surrounding area.

Lovely I'll check those out thanks
