Ipswich Waterfront in the Spring sunshine!



As the UK basked in sunshine this weekend we spent a lovely day on Ipswich Waterfront and captured these beautiful shots of the marina.  


There was a buzzing atmosphere as people enjoyed the great weather, milled around the boutique shops, DanceEast and day trippers moored their boats in the marina.  


The stylish restaurants and bars spilled out onto the promenade offering the perfect spots to relax, people watch and soak up the sun with a cool glass of something.


There is always lots going on at the Ipswich Waterfront with sailing lunches/dinner cruises leaving from the marina taking you on tours of the Orwell. There are guided walks and at least once a month the promenade is awash with stalls offering vintage crafts and gifts, local food and drink.  


In August there is the Maritime Festival which is the big event celebrating all things nautical,  bringing together Ipswich's Waterfront Maritime past, present and future at the Ipswich Waterfront, Quayside and Docks, culminating in a fabulous firework display.

The Penthouse Launch Party!


Best of Suffolk celebrate the launch of one of the swankiest pads in Aldeburgh!


It was a beautiful sunny afternoon in Aldeburgh as guests gathered to celebrate the launch of the fabulous Penthouse.  Champagne was flowing and scrumptious cakes (courtesy of Best of Suffolk's friend Angela) were served as guests were given an exclusive tour of The Penthouse which only became available to book this week...

Lots of people turned up to see the property which is set in a peaceful road just moments from the beach and High Street.  



The launch party marked the culmination of a 9 month refurbishment, employing the skills of many local craftsmen and builders along with the interior design expertise of Simon and Angela James (see blog: Behind the scenes at Best of Suffolk - 2 April 2013).



The Penthouse interior has been completely renovated and finished to the highest standards with bespoke design features, a spacious open plan living room, luxurious bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a second shower room.  Perhaps the most impressive feature of....the 180 degree panoramic sea views that can be enjoyed from the living room.

Best of Suffolk & Best Escapes charity Easter Egg Hunt!


We at Best of Suffolk and Best Escapes have recently joined forces with The Suffolk Foundation to create the Best of Suffolk Charitable Foundation.  

Suffolk holds a very special place at the heart of Best of Suffolk and by joining forces with Suffolk Foundation, we are able to raise money for local charities and organisations close to our holiday cottages.


Last Thursday we officially launched the Best of Suffolk Charitable Foundation with a fun charity Morris the Seagull Easter Egg Hunt for families on Aldeburgh High Street.  Our lovely team, with the help of Judi from The Suffolk Foundation, were ready with lucky dip prizes and helium balloons at The Artists Room on Crag Path to reward the successful Easter Egg hunters.

Lots of independent shops on Aldeburgh High Street joined in displaying Morris the Seagull's eggs in their windows and Munchies were giving away free ice-cream.  The event was a great success and got our fundraising off to a good start.  Lots of people took part and the press came too - read our feature in the EADT!

You can read more about the work we are doing with the Suffolk Foundation by clicking this link >> BEST OF SUFFOLK CHARITABLE FOUNDATION and keep checking this page to see when our next fundraising event is.
