    “There is a lot to put up with if you decide to stay at this cottage.”

    When we opened the front door, the smell was dank and musty and the smell was also present in the bedroom. We had to buy room diffusers as, without these, we would not have been able to stay. There was only one key and if you shut the front door it locks; we had to be very careful to make sure that one of us was holding the key every time we went out. The cottage is a three minute walk from the beach but there was nowhere to dry damp swimming clothes and towels, not even a line in the garden ...

    When we opened the front door, the smell was dank and musty and the smell was also present in the bedroom. We had to buy room diffusers as, without these, we would not have been able to stay. There was only one key and if you shut the front door it locks; we had to be very careful to make sure that one of us was holding the key every time we went out. The cottage is a three minute walk from the beach but there was nowhere to dry damp swimming clothes and towels, not even a line in the garden. Instead of the rush mats shown in the photographs, the kitchen and living room have thick, dark green rugs on the floor. They seem unhygienic; bare floors would be easier to keep clean. We stayed for two weeks at the end of August/early September and were only provided with one set of towels and bedlinen. The bin outside was full when we arrived and the local council refused to empty it, so we had to leave our bags of rubbish in the kitchen when we vacated. A previous reviewer has commented on the rotten door frame in the bathroom and flaking paint outside and we can attest to the accuracy of their comments.

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.
