    “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.

    We are sorry to read you had a less than perfect stay. In a record breaking heatwave, even with all these access points open, the accommodation would remain warm if there were no breeze. In other seasons this heat retention is what makes the cottage so nice and snug. Many windows on both floors do open. The lifting type windows upstairs do all open, and are of an older design in which they 'jam' in the frames when open (rather than having a sash). This info can be added to the house details if it's not clear. Downstairs one of two the main sitting room windows opens (lifts) and the the 'stable door' style front door can have the top half open on it own (to allow fresh air in but keeping a dog of child inside) or be opened fully. In the kitchen is the back door opening onto a private alleyway and two lifting / opening ceiling domes which can be wound open to provide light and air. I hope you were able to take advantage of the close proximity to the beach and high street (ice cream shop , chip shops and all the other retail, art and restaurant outlets) and the walks by the riverside or beach.

The property

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.

About the location

ALDEBURGH

Thorpeness 2.1 miles; Saxmundham 7.2 miles.

The popular, vibrant seaside town of Aldeburgh is famous for its culture, traditional feel and one of the best fish and chip shops in the country! Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings are home to one of the world’s greatest music festivals and has been named as one of the top 50 places to live in Britain. Crag Path runs along the seafront dividing the beautiful pebbly beach from the unspoilt pastel-coloured seafront properties and the town. The beach is a popular place for groups and couples to enjoy the wonderful fish and chips throughout the summer months. The town is steeped in history and has become a wonderful town for shopping with a good mixture of independent and chain stores to enjoy. The town also offers a good selection of pubs and restaurants or why not buy some freshly caught fish from the huts on the seafront and cook up your own feast at home. For those wishing for a more action-packed holiday there is excellent walking, cycling, sailing and golf at Aldeburgh. Growing in popularity you will want to return to Aldeburgh again and again!
