    “We have been staying at Winkle Cottage since 2014, but sadly the place is in urgent need of a thoroughly good clean and some maintenance is needed.”

    Some include flaking ceiling in second double bedroom, mould all over ceiling in bathroom, torn net curtains, I could go on. Garden doesn’t seem to get any attention, had to sweep and clean before use. Bins had not been emptied and overflowing, we had to take our rubbish elsewhere. We are sad to have to write this review because we love Winkle Cottage.

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!
