“The only problems we had was with the TV which could not be tuned in properly so the picture kept breaking up and sound as well.”

The bedside light in the twin room did not work, it looked like the cable to the on/off switch was so twisted that the wire inside was broken. Otherwise OK.

“We absolutely loved this cottage, probably our favourite in Aldeburgh so far, it’s just missing a few things that previous cottages had.”

Things like a dryer or heated clothes airer. As a family of four, with wet clothes from swimming or the inclement weather, this would have been so handy. We also picked up on things like the sofa and carpets looked like they’re due a deep clean. Spare or extra covers would be great too. Some foil or baking paper would’ve been fab too. We will however definitely book and stay again.

“We loved the position of the property and the beds and furniture were really comfy.”

The property was lovely and clean and we appreciated the welcome wine and biscuits. Happy to report no issue with wi-fi as previous customers had reported. Only small niggles: the overbath shower was pretty cramped from my husband (he is 5ft 11), anyone much taller might find this a significant drawback. The garden furniture was adequate but quite tired. The quality of crockery, cutlery and in particular sharp knives would benefit from an upgrade. Would definitely consider using this cottage again, but if I did I would take my own sharp knives for cooking!

“Really nice place but no Wi-Fi, which was a specific requirement when booking.”

Should not advertise as having Wi-Fi and I’ve since seen others’ feedback the same.

- Nigel, February 2023

Hello Nigel. Thanks for the feedback and hope that you enjoyed your stay. Just to say that Button Cottage does have Wi-Fi but it is sometimes poor at times, and in the area as a whole. I know it is too late for you now but I would have been more than happy to discuss during your stay. Hope to welcome you back sometime in the future. Thanks again Gillian (owner) Property Owner

“A delightful cottage at the end of the High Street, ideally located for exploring the lovely town of Aldeburgh and local area.”

The cottage is cosy and warm and the central heating was on when we arrived - a lovely warm welcome but just as well as there were no logs provided for the wood burner. The kitchen / diner is spacious for a small cottage and well-equipped for cooking if you want to self-cater, with room for 4 around the table if necessary. The bed is super-comfy with lovely linens and there is plenty of storage space. The bathroom ceiling slopes in a couple of places but neither of us is over 5’11 so this wasn’t an issue. There is plenty of hot water and a good shower. The bottle of wine and biscuits as a welcome gift was a very nice gesture, but there was no milk in the fridge so we couldn’t make a cup of tea on arrival. Our main problem was the poor Wi-Fi / broadband. My husband needed to do a small amount of work during our stay and the connection was so poor / intermittent that he was not able to do this. Even the TV reception was unreliable as the picture broke up from time to time. This is the main reason for 4* not 5*. Overall, a delightful little cottage with lovely decor in a quiet location and we wouldn’t hesitate to book it again.

The property

This Aldeburgh holiday cottage is one of a terrace of houses that is ideally situated to make the most of staying in the seaside town. The beach is very close by as well as Aldeburgh's popular shops and restaurants. Set back from the road with a couple of steps and front garden, the front door opens directly into the living room with comfy sofas and a wood-burning stove. At the back of the property is the light kitchen/breakfast room with plenty of working space and a door to the lovely courtyard garden with patio furniture and a barbeque. Upstairs are two bedrooms, the master double at the front, and a twin room with a shared family bathroom. Ground Floor The bespoke front door enters from the High Street into the cosy and stylish living room with wood burner. Living Room The main living room is spacious with plenty of soft seating for all guests on two large sofas. There is a wood-burning stove so you can stay cosy while you play a board game or relax in front of the television. The living room has been stylishly decorated with plenty of seaside touches. A large sash window lets in natural light and looks out onto Aldeburgh. Kitchen/Breakfast Room The bright kitchen/breakfast room is a great space to prepare and enjoy meals socially with space for four guests at the table positioned next to the door opening to the courtyard garden - ideal for alfresco dining in warmer months. Master Bedroom The master bedroom at the front of Button Cottage has a sash window and is furnished with a king-size bed, bedside drawers, a chest of drawers and built-in wardrobe for storage. Twin Bedroom This comfortable room is a haven at the back of the house, with a sloped ceiling and window overlooking the courtyard garden. There are sturdy wooden twin beds with bedside drawers between them, plus an additional chest of drawers and hooks for hanging clothes behind the door. Bathroom The bright family bathroom has a bath with a shower over the top, W.C., hand basin and window giving natural light. Please note that the ceiling in the bathroom is low in places. Outside To the rear of the property is a large courtyard garden, a rarity in the centre of Aldeburgh, which has wooden furniture to enjoy a meal outside, maybe cooked on the barbecue that is also available. The garden gets plenty of sunshine, and a parasol is available if you fancy some shade!

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!
