Alinka, Aldeburgh
Description
You’re welcomed into bright new kitchen/breakfast room leading through to the lovely living room at the front of the cottage and stairs to the first floor. The large master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with separate shower and there’s an additional room, ideal for a child with comfortable day bed, or for your own use as a dressing/reading room.
The name Alinka originates from a 36ft yacht that the owners sailed over many seasons and a pair of Oars used in the tender can be seen in the living room as a fond keepsake, along with some artwork created by the talented owner. This mid terraced cottage was built around 1900 and extended after the second world war to add the luxury of an internal bathroom! There's some unrestricted parking close to the cottage and a public car park almost opposite.
Ground Floor A stable door opens directly into the carpeted living room with a back door opening into the kitchen/breakfast room. Wooden stairs to the first floor are accessed through a door in the living room.
Kitchen/Dining Room A warm welcome awaits you as you enter this sunny kitchen with sky lights allowing the daylight to flood in. The kitchen’s equipped with an electric oven, gas hob and extractor, slimline dishwasher and a fridge with two shelf freezer and a microwave tucked neatly into an alcove. Step up to the breakfast area, furnished with a table and four chairs.
Living Room This bright room is decorated in a palette of relaxing colours with coastal theme. A two seater sofa and comfy arm chair encourage you to sit back and enjoy a good book, and there’s a good mix of tables and dresser for the TV.
First floor A door in the living room opens directly onto the steep stairs rising to the master bedroom with bathroom beyond and dressing room to the left. The entire first floor has wooden floors.
Master Bedroom The king size bed takes pride of place under the sash window with bedside stools and a dressing table with stool which can double up as a desk if needs be.
Small Single Cleverly furnished to accommodate your needs; either as a single bedroom with comfortable day bed which will be made up for you if required, or simply as a dressing room with hanging space and shelves.
Bathroom Effectively an ensuite off the master bedroom, with bath, corner shower cubicle, wash basin set in a vanity unit, WC, heated towel rail and natural light.
Outside Alinka sits on King Street, just one street back from the seafront and conveniently close to a public car park where you can park for the entire stay by purchasing a long stay pass. The front door opens directly onto the street and there’s a side gate leading down a path to the kitchen door giving convenient access for buggies etc.

What guests are saying
Cottage was very clean and although small had all needed for a few days stay.
The many large rubbish bins either side of the property are an eyesore(understandably this is a council problem)but a plus point is the sea is 10 steps away !
Lovely little place inside.
Beautifully furnished and maintained. The stairs are quite narrow and steep but manageable with care. Also the kitchen/dinner has steps to be aware of. The only negative is the proximity of the bins which are a bit smelly! Ideally located for both beach and shops. Parking is really close too.
The main problem I experienced was that I was unable to open the windows.
As I was staying during a heatwave, this was unacceptable. The bed and the duvet are not very comfortable. The position is good and the downstairs accommodation is very pleasant.
