Blue flag beaches, shabby chic seaside boltholes, properties with uninterrupted sea views - even beach huts to hire. Suffolk Secrets, the county's market leader in holiday accommodation with over 350 properties on its books, has selected the 'best of the best' properties this summer, all brand new for 2015.

Although many visitors to the UK's greenest county, just an hour and a half from central London, flock to the coast, inland, Suffolk boasts ancient woodlands, forests, rivers and the kind of idyllic, quintessential English countryside that inspired resident artists Gainsborough and Constable. Those, too, make the hot list, as do the top spots for foodies.

Read on to get first dibs on what's hot for summer 2015.

Best for sea views

Seafront Sunrise, Felixstowe

Sleeps 6 in 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms

Price from £876 per week during summer holidays

USP's: Brand new, spacious property with balcony, uninterrupted sea view for a fraction of the price of Aldeburgh or Southwold, Suffolk's best kept coastal secret, private garden.

As the name suggests, this brand new property gives you front-side seats to uninterrupted sea views of the morning's sun rise.  Light, bright and airy, with private garden and allocated parking, spend the summer weeks paddling in the shallow waters, walking along the esplanade and people watching as they wander along the brightly coloured beach huts that line the coast here.  Felixstowe may be better known as the UK's biggest shipping port (the location is a boon for boat lovers of every kind), but it's also Suffolk's best kept seaside secret, hugely popular with locals, less so with tourists (but not for long). Enjoy the same sea views that Aldeburgh and Southwold offer for  a fraction of the price.

Best for beaches

Best for shabby-chic seaside charm

Price from £810 per week during summer holidays

USP's: Pet friendly, stone's throw from beach, beautifully styled 4 star property in shabby chic, distressed wood throughout, retractable glass doors for airy breeze and 'outside - inside' dining

If you're looking for a sea-side bolthole that looks like its sprung from the pages of a lifestyle magazine, this is it. Iron framed vintage beds, shabby chic, distressed wooden floors and character everywhere. Open the glass doors and you can smell the sea as you dine. The fact it's located in one of the UK's best seaside resorts only adds to the charm.

Located close to Sutton Hoo, the cottage is also the ideal place to explore both the Suffolk countryside, Constable Country to the south, beaches and coast to the east.
