The very best places to stay in
East Anglia
East Anglia is an underrated region filled to the brim with some of Britain’s best bits: timeless landscapes, historic villages, sweeping coastlines and a thriving creative culture.
Norfolk’s salt marshes, sandy beaches and nature-rich Broads draw walkers, sailors and wildlife lovers alike. Suffolk has its own soulful rhythm — from the arty energy of Aldeburgh and Southwold to inland wool towns like Lavenham, steeped in medieval history.
Further west, Cambridgeshire blends elegant university charm with meandering river paths and countryside walks, while Essex surprises with pretty villages, secret estuaries and an under-the-radar coastline of its own. Find more of our top Kip tips for the region below.

All are unique and perfectly placed to explore this unsung region for your next UK staycation — whether that’s with the crew, as two or just you.
