The Red Brick House, Aldeburgh

Our second visit to the Red Brick House Aldeburgh but this time very disappointed.

The house is well equipped, of a good size and great location. Unfortunately within a hour of arrival a loud banging noise was coming from the boiler which turned out to be a faulty kitchen tap. One of the lights in the second bedroom kept flashing so we used the bedside light. The soap dispensers were disgusting and unusable with the actual soap being a odd black colour. The log effect stove in the lounge did not work. We visit either Aldeburgh or Southwold several times a year but will not be using this property again.

Spend Xmas week at Red Brick House, a great well equipped house .

The kitchen has everything you need with a nice dining area .Very Comfortable and nicely furnished sitting room with 3 lovely sofas. Bedrooms are also comfortable. Great location to shops and beach .Maybe a step into the house might be quiet useful for some people. Highly recommend this property and would definitely book again.

We were delighted with this property and had a very enjoyable stay.

Each room was very comfortable, well equipped and presented to a high standard. We also enjoyed the location with very close proximity to the beach and amenities.

Wonderful rental property in the perfect location.

So homely, comfortable and clean with everything you need. No problem parking on The Terrace, but then this was October so could be very different in the summer. Only comment - the hand wash dispensers in all the bathrooms need changing. They were either empty or the nozzle is disintegrating so you get bits of metal in your hand with the hand wash. Easy one to fix please. Can’t wait to return next year.

Lovely property.

Well furnished, and fully equipped. There was everything we needed. Plenty of safe space for the two year old in our party. She loved the games, books and parrot wallpaper! Thanks for a great holiday!

Loved the property- very comfortable, particularly the front room, the kitchen is very well equipped and the house is in a perfect position for the shops, walks and restaurants.

The outside of the property needs a bit of care- the entrance is not very inviting and the step is dangerous. The garden also needs a bit of tending. but it was fabulous to have the doors open into the kitchen.

We had a really lovely stay - beautiful property and well equipped for a small group.

Fantastic location. Would definitely return.

Great place for a break with friends

Great stay.

Everything you could possibly need and ideal location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Red Brick House.

It’s in a superb location and very tastefully furnished. Really enjoyed going to The Lighthouse restaurant. We love Aldeburgh and Thorpeness

Lovely house with everything you could possibly need, great location near beach.

Couple of minor cleanliness issues being main bedroom window had lots of cobwebs inside and tables in downstairs rooms mainly living room could do with a thorough clean, however we would definately go back

Loved the accomodation but the email that was sent to us says there is a 6 digit code for the keys - its only 4.

We tried to call the emergency no but NO ONE called us back -really disappointing. Also becareful where you park as we got a parking ticket. The actual accomodation is brilliant and we loved it. There is building next door but didn't bother us. Only thing would be to put blinds in the lounge to have more privacy. Thanks

2nd time we’ve stayed here.

Love being so central. Property is very well configured to make use of space. We loved it again Bunk beds getting a bit creaky but otherwise cant complain

A very well-situated and efficiently comfortable place to stay.

It's the second time we have stayed there and we would certainly do so again. (Note: the building work next door, which started over 12 months agao, is ongoing: this is irritating though not ruinous.)

We were not put off by having to go under the scaffolding to reach the front door.

The builders working next door were pleasant and friendly. We found the house perfect for a family get together, roomy, comfortable and very well equipped, particularly the kitchen, and the towels and bedding were such good quality. We struggled with closing the key safe but managed eventually. Thank you for a lovely stay.

A beautiful property very well located and equipped

Thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas week in a well equipped, tastefully furnished and clean house.

Best we have ever stayed in over many years in both Aldeburgh and Thorpness. Minor issue, would benefit having a washing up bowl. Making washing up in the quartz / stoneware small sink less precarious when washing those delicate glasses and crockery.

Wonderful little house, perfectly formed, high quality comfort right in the centre of the ‘action’.

It even had sharp knives which the cook appreciated and is quite rare even for a top quality holiday house.

This is a beautiful well appointed and equipped holiday let in a great position.

Pretty much everything we could have expected and more. Provision of cleaning and dishwasher products was much appreciated. Tea, coffee and sugar etc was a lovely touch. Complimentary bottle of wine gratefully consumed. Had a lovely stay and really wasn't affected by the building work next door. Could i suggest that the rubbish collection info is clarified please. Its a bit vague as to what goes in which bin and what is recyclable. Also we put the bins out as instructed but only one was emptied. Leaving ours and the previous tenants rubbish uncollected. Also a velux window opener would be useful. Both the bathroom and landing velux windows are quite high up. In fact the landing one is dangerously high and someone could topple over the bannister trying to reach it. This really should be considered. Thank you for a great stay. We shall return!

We loved staying at the Red Brick House - the beds were super comfortable, the decor was really fabulous and I loved having a utility room too.

Fantastic stay, really comfortable cottage, very well equipped, especially the kitchen.

Great towels and bedding. Beautiful decoration. Very handy location, for beach and High Street.

Lovely property although the garden was disappointing and in need of maintenance.

We had a great stay at The Red Brick House.

Perfect location for the high street but far enough away to be quiet. Very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. We will book again.

Altogether a wonderful, tasteful property in a delightful area.

Thank you, owners. Some suggestions which may help to make it even better: 1 We have to choose our holiday cottages with care, as I have Parkinson's Disease which sometimes limits my mobility. The Red Brick House was close to ideal but the temporary, very wobbly, step up to the front door was less than stable even for the able-bodied. 2 The kitchen is lovely, but the wall units have been placed very high on the walls. The vertically challenged like me (5' 3") could only reach the bottom shelf of the wall cupboards and the lower half of the (ab fab!) fridge/freezer. A kitchen hop-up would have solved the problem. 3 We would have loved a tasteful grab handle in each of the showers.
