Aldeburgh Cottage
Description
Aldeburgh Cottage, what a find! Ideally located just a few minutes walk to the beach and at the quieter, southern end of Aldeburgh's High Street, you could not be better positioned.
Absolutely ideal for a family break as this gorgeous coastal cottage has two bedrooms, one double and one twin. Plus it has a family bathroom and en suite shower room, so there's all the comforts of home whilst on holiday.
Aldeburgh Cottage itself has gone through an incredible restoration, and boasts many original, period features. For cosy, coastal chic look no further. The finishing touches add warmth and context, without being over the top or intrusive.
Ground Floor On the ground floor there's a living room with a cosy open fire, a kitchen/dining room with original Suffolk brick floor, and the family bathroom. Upstairs there's a double bedroom with an en suite shower room and a twin bedroom. Outside is an enclosed patio garden. Aldeburgh's popular beach, shops, and restaurants are all close by.
Living Room The front door leads into the delightful living room with a leather sofa and two leather armchairs, traditional floor tiles, sash window, natural fibre rug and an open fire. There's a flat screen smart TV and an iPod docking station.
Kitchen/Dining Room There's a Smeg range cooker, butler sink, handmade units, a pine table and four chairs, a charming old Suffolk brick floor, a dishwasher and an original fireplace (not in use). Further appliances include a fridge and microwave. (A washing machine and freezer can be found in the utility room.)
Family Bathroom This has a double-ended bath (great for relaxing in with a glass of wine or two), a hand basin, a w.c. and a tiled slate floor.
Lobby A small lobby between the kitchen and bathroom leads out to a private back patio garden and shared off-road parking beyond.
Utility Room Reached via the back patio garden, there's a useful utility room with a washing machine and freezer and space for walking boots and bicycles.
First Floor
From the living room there's a door to a steep winding wooden staircase that leads up to a small first-floor landing.
Bedroom One This is a double bedroom with pretty white-washed floorboards. There's an antique pine chest of drawers, bedside tables and a wardrobe with a fabric front.
En-Suite A contemporary shower room with a shower, w.c. and hand basin.
Bedroom Two A twin bedroom with a single bed at each end, bedside tables, a wardrobe, chest of drawers and a window overlooking the pretty patio garden. This room has a sloping ceiling.
Outside There's an enclosed patio garden with a table and chairs. The back gate leads out to a narrow private lane, turn right out of this and the beach is just moments away. The private lane is shared for parking with the neighbouring cottages. A space is often available although cannot be guaranteed. On-road parking is also usually available nearby.

What guests are saying
We really enjoyed our week at Aldeburgh Cottage.
The cottage has character in shed loads but at the same time is well equipped and comfortable. Located towards the edge of central Aldeburgh the cottage is within easy strolling distance of shops, restaurants and pubs and handy for the beach if that is your bag. We ignored the parking space at the rear of the property in favour of on street parking. Being fairly low season this wasn't a big problem. The stairs are quite interesting. We are fairly mobile so this wasn't an issue for us but if you are not too mobile it would be worth checking. All in all, a really nice character property.
Lovely house in a great location.
Good outside space. Great kitchen with good equipment. Perfect for a small family.
It’s a good example of one of the (near) seaside cottages for which Aldeburgh is famous.
The cottage was very well equipped with comfy beds and a great shower in the en suite. There’s a large bath in the downstairs bathroom but no overhead shower. The rooms were small ceilings and doorways low and the second bedroom had sloping ceiling that made it a very confined space. The stairs were steep and would be challenging for older visitors. An outside area with a table and four chairs was appreciated. Overall we had a lovely week’s stay.
