Historic Cleveland House on Broad Street in Bungay
Explore Bungay

A characterful town, a river valley and room to roam.

Stay in the historic centre and let a weekend unfold on foot: castle, theatre, independent shops, good food and the River Waveney are all close at hand.

Your Bungay base

So much of the town begins just outside the door.

The Old Scullery is on Broad Street, well placed for making the most of Bungay without needing to plan every moment.

History & culture

Walk to Bungay Castle, also known as Bigod Castle, and catch a film, live event or performance at the Fisher Theatre, a few doors from the apartment.

Shops & good food

Spend an unhurried morning among the independent shops, antiques, cafés, pubs, restaurants and local food shops that give Bungay its lively centre.

River & countryside

The River Waveney is a short walk away. It is an inviting starting point for riverside wandering, birdwatching and exploring the wider Waveney Valley.

A relaxed itinerary

Stay local, or range a little further.

Start with coffee and a wander through town, then take in the castle or Fisher Theatre. Follow the river for fresh air, return for a pub lunch or cook something good in the kitchen, and end the day back in your own cosy space.

For a longer break, Bungay makes a useful base for the Broads National Park and day trips into both Suffolk and Norfolk. Local canoe and paddleboard hire offer another way to experience the water.

A little further afield

The Waveney Valley makes a fine reason to linger.

There is no need for a packed itinerary. The appeal lies in taking your time.

For walkers

Riverside paths and nearby countryside offer easy-going exploration from a town-centre base.

For food lovers

Build a stay around independent food shops and local produce, with pubs and restaurants on the doorstep for the nights you do not want to cook.

For slow weekends

Explore the town’s antiques and independent shops, then return to the apartment with no timetable at all.

Make Bungay your next short break.
