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 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.

Itâs a comfortable cottage very close to the High Street and yet very little traffic noise. The sea front is only a short walk away too. We enjoyed our Christmas here and appreciated the festive touches to our welcome. The cottage was well equipped to enable us to do everything we wanted except use the overflow fridge in the shed. The door to the shed was stuck but it wasnât a show-stopper and so we didnât call the number given for help. With two of us being vegans, we appreciated the vegan soap & cleaning materials. These are not often considered in providing holiday accommodation. Aldeburgh is an attractive town and a good base for exploring the environment of this part of Suffolk. We had two lovely forest walks during our stay - Captainâs Wood and Tunstall forest. It was also a memorable first visit by me (Rob) to the place where Benjamin Britten was born, lived and died. As a boy chorister in Worcester Cathedral Choir, I sang a fair number of his compositions including a part in the War Requiem in Birmingham Town Hall in November 1964. I liked his choral music more than most of the other pieces I sang in the choir. Please note that I do not recommend service providers. That explains low rating. I regard the question as pointless.

It has everything you need. The courtyard with garden furniture is wonderful. The cottage is perfectly located for the beach and town.
