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.

"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."
"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."
"We love staying at this house; the location is perfect and the property provides all that we need."
"The property is excellent this is our 2nd visit to Shell Cottage, good location, parking and our dog is able to come with us, we will be returning in 2019."
"This is the third time we have stayed here and we hope to come back again."
"Good location, true to information in brochure and you can take your dog. "
"The property was of a high standard. We have booked this property three times. A nice surprise to find there was wifi, as when we booked this was not available. We definitely book this property again. This property has the best location and private parking, which can be a problem in Aldeburgh. Only a 10 minute walk to all facilities. We arrived by car but didn't use it for the whole week of our holiday. Perfect place for relaxing and the Aldeburgh Carnival is fantastic."
"Perfect dog friendly cottage with everything you need on your doorstep."

"We were very comfortable. We have been coming for 5 yeas, so it must be good. There was nothing, in the way of equipment, that we were short of. We are very happy with the service that we have had over the last 5 years. The staff at the Aldeburgh Office go out of their way to help us."
"First visit to Suffolk - looking forward to returning"
"This was our fourth visit to Shell Cottage. We enjoy our visits to the county."
