Lowestoft Is One of Our Favourite Traditional Seaside Resorts

It’s also at the heart of an area that’s rapidly becoming known for its vibrant food scene and relaxed coastal lifestyle. And who doesn’t want a holiday home with all of that on their doorstep?
Having your own holiday home at Tingdene’s North Denes means your seaside getaway spot is about as far east as you can be in the UK. In fact, you’ll be very close to Ness Point, which is literally Britain’s most easterly point.

And there’s more. East Point Pavilion is the place to be with a string of events, including live music, DJs, pop-up makers and creative activities, and even yoga.
2. Giardino Lowestoft – and So Much More in the Sparrows Nest
Giardino Lowestoft is somewhere well worth a visit. For starters (if you see what we mean!), it’s in a lovely and historic setting.
The Sparrows Nest began life as the gardens of the wealthy 19th-century landowner Robert Sparrow and was home to the headquarters and central depot for the Royal Naval Patrol Service in September 1939. Today, it’s a popular place to visit and includes Lowestoft’s War Memorial Museum.
Giardino is all about authentic Italian food. It’s family-friendly dining, and they get the balance just right. There’s a children’s menu – but there’s a great selection of wines and beers too. Something for everyone.
And it’s part of the Tingdene Privilege Scheme. As a Tingdene holiday home owner you qualify for a Tingdene Privilege Card, giving you access to a whole range of discounts at establishments across the UK.

Tingdene North Denes is ideally placed to enjoy all of these great places to eat – and many more. And yet it’s quiet, and near the beach. Well within striking distance of so much of the east – including, of course, the Broads – there’s little wonder it’s a popular place for holiday homes. Far be it from us to make a meal of it, but it’s got so much to offer, including that Tingdene Privilege Card.
