A selection of Suffolk pubs have been recognised as some of the region's best places to escape the cold.
In a list compiled by Muddy Stilettos, four cosy local inns perfect for chilly days were identified across Suffolk.
As temperatures hit -6.6C this week, it's the perfect time to get out of the cold and warm up with some good food.
Here are the four Suffolk pubs praised for their intimate and snug atmosphere...
The Brewers, Rattlesden

The Brewers in Rattlesden was described as a "charming and cosy pub with exposed bricks, low beams and a roaring open fire in winter".
It was praised for its community feel as well as its sophisticated and impressive menu.
The pub does "one hell of a Sunday roast that'll warm you right up on a cold winter weekend", according to Muddy Stilettos.
The Crown, Stoke-by-Nayland
The Crown is well-known locally for producing "really great grub, from breakfast through to dinner and Sunday lunch, best enjoyed in winter in front of one of their two roaring log fires", Muddy Stilettos said.
The guide added: "There’s also a really cool winter tipi in the pretty garden, so you can even cosy up outside, with warming rugs and heat lamps."
Stoke-by-Nayland is also in Constable Country, being in the perfect place for visitors to the pub to head out for a winter walk before warming up at The Crown.
The Westleton Crown, Westleton
A few miles in from the Suffolk coast, The Westleton Crown is a great place to retreat to after facing the elements during a walk at Dunwich.
The interior is "sumptuous and welcoming" and there are "lots of nooks and crannies to call your own for a few hours", Muddy Stilettos said in its guide.
The Fox Inn, Newbourne
Nestled in Newbourne, just a short drive from Ipswich and Woodbridge, The Fox Inn has a "huge open fireplace" that is the perfect remedy to the cold.
Dogs are welcome and as they are stretching out in front of the fire, guests can get stuck into some pub grub as they warm their bones.
