The Hideaway, Aldeburgh

We had a lovely stay at The Hideaway.

We have stayed in many Aldeburgh cottages over the years and thought we would try The Hideaway as we walked past the door on our last visit. It was beautifully decorated, very comfortable and very clean. It had everything we needed in the week- the kitchen was compact for four but very well equipped. The bathroom was clean and the bedrooms and living room again, comfortable and well equipped. The stairs however, are very steep and maybe should be pointed out in the description. Older visitors would find it difficult to carry luggage up and down. We would have appreciated a blind in the kitchen as it was very hot and glaring in the morning sun. (There was a light roller blind but it didn't work.) The overhead shower could do with a limescale clean as it was very spitty. Great to have the filter jug in the fridge. I repaired one of the roman blinds in the front bedroom where the threads had worn and snapped preventing it being used properly. One of the inset ceiling bulbs on the landing was flashing when switched on but with such high ceilings, we couldn't have reached that to change the bulb even if we had known how! I realise we could have called Best of Suffolk with these things but they were only minor issues and maybe things like blinds and lights could be checked by the cleaning staff after visits. We found the situation of the apartment perfect for accessing town, sea and all the parts of Aldeburgh we love. The on-road parking outside was empty first thing each morning but otherwise busy. We were able to park outside the white lion but unloading on arrival was tricky. Our week was in the heatwave and the noise from the restaurant opposite and road was significant with windows open. The seagull noise from the surrounding roofs - which we love usually - started just before 4am and didn't stop! We realise there is nothing you can do about these issues but it will probably prevent us returning in the summer months! Autumn or winter would be a very different experience I'm sure. These are all minor issues really - we had a great week and feel very grateful that you make this lovely apartment in our favourite place available for holidays. Thank you.

Absolutely love this apartment, in an excellent location on the High Street, it is light, bright and airy with lovely decor and furnishings.

We had an amazing time for a birthday celebration, Aldeburgh is a great place with its lovely shops and great places to eat & drink and lovely walks by the sea. Can't wait until the next time.

Perfect for our much needed short break.

Location perfect, close to the high street and the beach, facilities excellent. Well equipped, spacious rooms, comfortable beds. Was very happy with this accommodation

Ticked all the boxes.

We were very pleased and will visit again.

The following would improve the ratings. Twice as many mugs so we dont have to keep washing up. We were only left two dishwasher tablets for 5 days. A number of the bowls and one mug were cracked. We cook and eat in the holiday flat for dietary needs and there were not many pans, cooking trays etc. The plug in the bath had perished so the water ran out when filling the bath. Some of the towels left did not appear to be clean.

Great apartment, well furnished and in an ideal location.

Everything you could need was catered for. Perfect situation with the sun shining through and lighting the apartment in the morning, it was a perfect place to wake up. Absolutely loved it and will be back again. Not too far from free parking outside White Lion Hotel.

very nice stay good location.

will be going back

Cosy, clean and a great location, nice big TV and very comfortable bed.

Good to watch the world go by from the bench in the bay window.

The flat has a really good location and is very clean, comfortable and well equipped.

We appreciated being able to adjust the heating (radiators) as there were some cold mornings despite what the calendar said. As it overlooks the High Street and is single glazed don't expect to avoid some traffic noise at the front, although this can't be heard in the back bedroom.

Great property in the heart of Aldeburgh.

Clean, comfortable and well equipped, perfect for a long weekend.

Great few nights stay in your very comfy flat.

It had everything we needed and was in a brilliant location. Slight problem with the key safe, the black plunger was very difficult to press down, although the numbers were all in place.

Excellent Flat, All the comforts of home.

Already booked for 2025

This was our second visit to this property We love Aldeburgh and love Hideaway; it is comfortable, clean and situated where the beach as well as the town are easily accessible.

I also have a blue badge so, although the stairs are challenging, they are manageable for me and I can park the car outside the front door free of cost. We will be here again.

Really nice flat.

Nicely furnished, very clean and has everything you need. Lovely to be right in Aldeburgh and so close to the sea and the pub.
