11a this August. As I get older the climb in and out of the bath is becoming too challenging for me to do safely. A sturdy stool would have made it much safer or indeed just a shower and the lovely old Bath removed.

Just a couple of things, the back yard was very unclean, we couldn't use the area at all. (I have photos)The TV reception was really bad, I'm not able to get around easily so these things mattered to us on a break. That said it was a very nice flat.

The property has 3 large rooms, all of which are well furnished and set out. The kitchen is very large and well presented and equipped. Lovely large living room with comfortable seating. Large bed in a good sized bedroom. Very nice bathroom. All very clean and well maintained. The property is ideally located on the sea front. The sea food shacks on the beach are excellent, dressed lobster and noon pies were real treats. Aldeburgh is great with lovely restaurants. A very good property in a lovely town. Would definitely recommend.
