We might be a bit biased, but we think Suffolk is one of the dreamiest destinations for a 'Great British Staycation'.

With its lush countryside, stunning coast and plenty of culture and history, we think staying in the county this summer holiday should be top of everyone's list.

Here are five dreamy places you can stay for the perfect staycation.

1. Secret Meadows Glamping, Woodbridge

Secret Meadows Glamping on the White House Farm Nature Reserve Hasketon at Woodbridge, is a fantastic place to take a memorable family staycation with some of the home-comforts.
