Crabbe Corner
Description
You're welcomed directly into a beautiful big kitchen/dining room at this split level seaside cottage from Dial Lane which runs between the coastal road and High Street. The decor throughout Crabbe Corner is nautical and nice with steps down to the twin bedroom and en suite bathroom beyond, a doorway to the inner hall with cloakroom cupboard, a door to the cosy sitting room with stylish modern flame effect fire and stairs up to the second bathroom and stunning bedroom where you're sure to enjoy the seascape from the bay window with window seat.
The enclosed courtyard garden is an added bonus, furnished with a table, chairs and a parasol where you can watch the seaside world go by. On-road parking can usually be found in nearby side streets and in the pay and display car park close by.
Kitchen The front door opens directly from Dial Lane into this bright room – a great place to entertain with a dining table with four extra chairs and leaf available in case you have visitors! The smart kitchen units are well stocked and equipped with a built-in microwave combi oven and convection oven (both at waist height), a dishwasher, washer/dryer and a fridge with a 2.5 drawer freezer beneath. There’s a fun G & T station just waiting for you to mix your drinks!
Twin Bedroom With subtle coastal hints, this bedroom has twin beds with bedside drawers and lamps, a chest of drawers and a large wardrobe with both hanging and shelf space. There are four steps down from the kitchen to this carpeted room where the window looks onto the courtyard garden.
En-Suite Bathroom A modern bathroom where the bath has a wall-mounted hand shower and shower screen, washbasin, heated towel rail and an arch separating the WC. unit
Inner Hall Two wooden steps rise to this hall with doors to the cloakroom, the sitting room and the courtyard garden. Six carpeted stairs rise to the small first-floor landing with the bedroom and bathroom opening off it.
Sitting Room Sitting quietly at the back of the house with windows overlooking the courtyard and sea beyond, furnished with two sofas, an armchair, coffee table and occasional tables, one housing the TV with Freesat and DVD player. The flame effect electric fire will take the chill off those easterly winds!
Double Bedroom Wake to the sun rising over the sea and the kids playing on the boating pond from the window seat in this bedroom decorated with a subtle seaside palette. There’s a sturdy wooden king size bed and plenty of storage in bedside drawers, dressing table, a chest of drawers and wardrobe with both hanging space and shelves.
Bathroom Conveniently located at the top of the stairs so guests have easy access from the sitting room and kitchen whilst doubling up as an en suite for guests in the double bedroom. The bath has a wall-mounted hand shower with screen, WC, washbasin and heated towel rail.
Outside Crabbe Corner, an end of terrace maisonette, sits in a prime position for both the beach and High Street on the corner of High Street and Dial Lane. The east-facing courtyard garden is an oasis of calm, set back from the hustle and bustle of the seaside by a neighbouring garden yet giving you a view of the sea. On-road parking can usually be found on nearby side streets and in the pay and display car park close by.

What guests are saying
First the positives.
Wonderful high quality large beds and bedding, massive good quality bath sheets and the lounge and kitchen were fine. However the decor looks very rundown and has been patched up badly. The bay window cushion was dirty, cobwebs hung from the bedroom ceiling, the hall carpet was stained badly ……the same as it was 8 years ago! I had to go and buy a baking tray because the one in the oven was unusable. The kitchen is overstocked and the shower upstairs was difficult to control temperature wise. Walk in showers would be so much easier than climbing into the bath. This is our sixth visit over 12 years but the place looks less loved than it used to. The fact that they now accept dogs means we cannot stay there again ( asthma) but I don’t think we would anyway.
Perfect, quiet location, close to the beach and main shopping street in Aldeburgh.
The cottage is well maintained and equipped, and the beds and furnishings are very comfortable. The small courtyard garden is private and sheltered for sitting and eating outside. We enjoyed our time at Crabbe Cottage so much that we extended our stay!
Been visiting Crabbe annually for the past 6/7 years with friends.
Only comment we had was that kettle/toaster etc cramped in corner - thought arched area opposite would make a great “beverage area”. There are already plugs there and mugs etc could go in cupboard beneath and glasses where mugs are currently. Just a thought!
