    “Wonderful holiday stay right by the beach and shops.”

    Modern and comfortable interior, with excellently equipped kitchen. One small request would be for some shampoo bottle shelves at an accessible height in both showers, our 87-year-old mother in law (for whom the property was ideal in every other way) found it a struggle without them. Also the shower doors didn’t seem to close properly in the en-suite. Also a stock of spare lightbulbs would be useful, one of the bedrooms needed one swapping out.

Apart from these small issues it was wonderful and we’d definitely consider returning.

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!
