Self-Catering Holidays at Croft Farm
At Croft Farm, we have been welcoming guests to our self-catering cottages since 1916, when the Gillett family first acquired this historic property. Our two cottages, The Granary and The Forge, combine traditional charm with modern comforts, offering spacious accommodation for families and couples alike. Each cottage retains original architectural features while providing contemporary amenities such as free WiFi and fully equipped kitchens. We take pride in maintaining the farm's heritage, including its 150-acre landscape that has evolved from arable farming to diversified tourism. Our location in Snape, Suffolk, places visitors within easy reach of the Heritage Coast's cultural and natural attractions.

We prioritise guest comfort with pet-friendly policies, private parking, and thoughtfully designed living spaces. The farm's ongoing development includes sustainable practices and expanded facilities for future generations. Our team works closely with local partners to ensure visitors experience the best of rural Suffolk. With over a century of family stewardship, we remain committed to providing authentic countryside holidays. Our cottages serve as ideal bases for exploring historic towns like Aldeburgh and Southwold while offering peaceful retreats after days of exploration.
