Well, rather shorter or closer than some of our trips have been, but we chose to rent a self-catering cottage rather than stay in a hotel, as we could sort of remain isolated. So we headed off to Suffolk, which is about a 2 hour (+/-) drive from us. Found a cute cottage in a small village called Thornham Magna, not too far from Diss.
cute place. Fireplaces. 18th century. Thatched roof. Lots of exposed beams etc.. as well as a nice little English country garden.
Took a few side trips out. Went to Southwold, Aldeburgh, Saxmundham, Diss, Eye and various other stops in between. We did a stroll around some antique shops, and similar which was fun. Coffees here and there, fish and chips on the sea front in Southwold and things like that. A nice time.
