Kelsale holiday cottages are a short distance from Suffolk’s serene coast and countryside, just north of the historic market town of Saxmundham. This welcoming village is hard to beat if you want to slow down and experience life in a traditional Suffolk community. You’ll notice several interesting historic landmarks as you explore Kelsale, including a former guildhall, dating back to 1495, and listed St Mary and St Peter Church, on a hilltop overlooking the village, known for its recently restored, distinctive lych gate and beautifully decorated pulpit. The sleepy village centre is home to pretty cottages and a Methodist Chapel dating from 1851.
