Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a family bathroom. In the warmer months why not enjoy the private garden complete with garden furniture to relax in after a day at the beach.

Aldeburgh and the surrounding area has inspired many authors and poets in the past but the most famous son of the town is Benjamin Britten who founded the Aldeburgh Music Festival which now has worldwide acclaim and is held every year in June at Snape Maltings. Fishermen still pull their colourful boats up on the shingle beach and sell fresh fish from the picturesque huts. The wide, mainly Georgian high street has many attractive buildings whilst the seafront properties all have commanding views of the beach and the North Sea. Boating is popular on the nearby Alde estuary where a large variety of yachts can be seen at summer weekends.

  • Mrs Penny Denman

    Charming house with lovely garden with bonus of private parking outside. Very clean and well equipped. Warm, cosy and inviting - even in November. My husband and I together with our little dog will definitely return. Walking distance to the town and beach. A real gem. SuffolkSecrets can really be recommended.

  • Mrs Patricia Watts

    Although the cottage is in an excellent position with off street parking. Shell cottage is in an excellent location being only a 10 minute walk into the town with the numerous bars and restaurant, which can get very busy so it is best to book.

  • Mrs Su Cain

    We love staying at this house; the location is perfect and the property provides all that we need.
