The Great Escape Holiday Homes

Alpheton, Sudbury

Historic wartime airfield – Alpheton

Welcome to The Great Escape Holiday Homes

Welcome to The Great Escape Holiday Homes, built on Lavenham Airfield. A unique project that transforms a historic wartime airfield into a serene holiday destination while honouring the brave men and women who served here.

Nestled on a 1.8 acre site at Lavenham Airfield, this development is more than just a place to stay. Our holiday homes are designed to resemble the iconic Nissen huts from the 1939-1945 conflict, offering a nostalgic yet comfortable experience.

The Details

Opening to guests later this year, The Great Escape Holiday Homes is a true labour of love. Set on the World War 2 Lavenham Airfield will be four holiday homes, as well as a wartime museum, built along side the USAF communications centre ruins.

Founder, Simon, has dedicated his weekends and evenings to realise this dream and make it a reality for visitors to enjoy.
