    “July 24th 2026 We stayed at Rosemary cottage for a week in July, in the middle of the summer.”

    The cottage is in a perfect location, about 5 minutes' walk to the shops restaurants and the sea. However, the images on the web site did not correctly reflect the interior or exterior of the cottage. Considering that first impressions go a long way, we were disappointed upon our arrival, although the cottage was cosy both the exterior and interior needed some TLC.

    The cottage is in a perfect location, about 5 minutes' walk to the shops restaurants and the sea. However, the images on the web site did not correctly reflect the interior or exterior of the cottage. Considering that first impressions go a long way, we were disappointed upon our arrival, although the cottage was cosy both the exterior and interior needed some TLC. The front of the cottage was very tired and in need of an update, with flaking paint and plaster around the front door frame and new putty on a window panel, on day 3 of our stay someone arrived and painted the putty around the replaced window whilst we were out, however the paint was left running down the window. Therefore, the front of the cottage didn’t look appealing or create a good impression. Although the cottage interior was cosy it wasn’t that comfortable and needed to be cleaned to a higher standard, cobwebs behind the sofa and ants around the door area. The small toilet/shower room located downstairs also needed some re-work as the door frame was damp and rotting and the extractor fan was temperamental. The garden Summer House to the rear of the property was damp, dirty and needed re-painting so we chose not to spend any time in there, which was a pity as the rear garden got the sun.

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!

Note: This property is not suitable for children, however babies are permitted.
Note: Due to being one of the oldest properties in Aldeburgh, is a quirky rustic cottage with low ceilings and steep stairs so not suitable for children or those with limited mobility.
