Blyth Hotel, Suffolk, England

This beautiful Edwardian building offers 14 stylish rooms, each with their own individual character and charm. You could opt for the Southwold Room with its double-ended Jacuzzi spa bath and leather sofa, or Aldburgh Room with its luxury corner bath and iPod docking station. The Blyth is just a five minute walk from the sandy beaches and colourful huts of Southwold. The town harbour is an idea spot for some fishing, and according the Richard and Charlie, boasts the best fish and chips in Suffolk. The couple run the hotel as a family business and care passionately about making sure every detail is just right. They are members of the Green Tourism Business Scheme, and their efforts to reduce the hotel’s carbon footprint have recently earned them a bronze award.
