Snaptrip says

Rosemary Cottage in Aldeburgh is praised for its cosy interior, ideal location, and charming garden with a summerhouse. Guests enjoyed the proximity to local attractions and the peaceful environment. However, some noted the need for maintenance and cleaning, particularly in the garden and exterior.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Several reviews mention issues with cleanliness, including dirty windows, cobwebs, and a mouldy shower curtain. The general state of cleanliness was described as dirty and uncared for by some guests.

The location is consistently praised for being great, with proximity to local amenities, restaurants, and the sea. It is described as quiet despite being on the main road and ideal for walks and visits to nearby towns.

The cottage is described as cosy and roomy, with a peaceful garden. However, some guests found the sofa and bed uncomfortable, and issues with drafts and heating were mentioned.

Guests reported several maintenance issues, including problems with the TV, dishwasher, and shower. The garden and summerhouse were noted as needing care, and some facilities were described as outdated or in need of repair.

The provision of fresh flowers and a well-equipped kitchen with a coffee machine were appreciated. However, the lack of a welcome bottle of wine, which some guests expected based on past experiences, was noted. It should be politely mentioned that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary.

About this property

A quaint couple’s retreat resting in the seaside town of Aldeburgh, Suffolk, Rosemary Cottage is close to local amenities and attractions. Be welcomed into one of the oldest buildings in Aldeburgh, still fitted with the original baker’s oven, an make yourself at home in the sitting room, where the character of this historic property can be enjoyed, most notably in the brick fireplace where an open fire warms your feet in the cooler months. The quaint kitchen offers amenities to make it easy to create a romantic meal for two, which can be enjoyed at the dining table or outside in the garden. Refresh in the ground-floor wet room before ascending the steps and getting cosy for the night in the master bedroom, where quaint décor adds to the seaside cottage atmosphere. Aldeburgh is a splendid seaside town with many things to do, beginning with a great selection of independent shops, eateries and a local museum, so why not try out some local produce before learning more about the local area? An extensive pebble beach makes walks with your significant other delightful, and here you can also try out watersports or indulge in a romantic picnic with a view. The Snape path and Haven Nature Reserve are a great place to enjoy the scenery, however, you can head inland to the close by village of Orford where walks around Orford Castle make the perfect day out.

    It’s like a little tardis, there was plenty of room for us and our dog. Beautifully furnished and lovely and clean. We slept like logs on the comfy bed. Thank you - we will be back!

  • Meryl

    The ingenious, tiny wetroom bathroom was perfect for 1 or 2 people. A heater thoughtfully provided for the quiet, well-equipped if chilly kitchen and a coffee pod machine as well as jar of instant coffee available for caffeine fixes (no cafetiere). The bed was glorious; firm mattress, plenty of pillows. Great WiFi and an Amazon firestick makes a wide range of TV shows available, which again was thoughtful. All linens and surfaces spotless, as much hot water and heating as I could want. Lovely little garden. Fresh flowers a very thoughtful touch.
