Four bedrooms offer a place to cosy down for the night, each with fresh and stylish décor to match the rest of the property and each with storage, beginning with a king-size with splashes of blue and an en-suite, a double and a bunk room both close to the family bathroom where you can enjoy a soak amongst the bubbles, and there is one more bedroom on the second floor, offering a super-king size bed to retreat too with an en-suite.

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 is steeped in history and has become a wonderful town for shopping with a good mixture of independent and chain stores to enjoy. 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.

The house is beautiful and the location is great if you wish to be able to walk into the town and within minutes of the beach. The bedrooms were all very comfortable and decorated beautifully and the extra bathrooms were appreciated. This house could be 5 stars plus with a little extra care. Unfortunately some maintenance issues previously mentioned by guests are still ongoing for example the downstairs toilet has a camping light. Also we found a couple things to be a little odd. Although the kitchen was well stocked with everything there were no cupboards empty to put food? The dining room is missing a chair from the table meaning we had to take a chair from the kitchen and the door to two of the bedrooms wouldn't shut properly in the frame, again not huge details but with a little better care and maintenance this could be a gem. Lastly although we booked Christmas originally it wasn't going to be decorated, in the end they managed to get a tree up for us but we did have to add lights to this and also take other decorations to make the place festive ( the host was very kind and let us check in earlier because of this and did say it was an oversight as not rented at Christmas before so fair enough). Overall though the house felt very homely and we all felt comfortable being there. The space is well laid out and we loved things like having a utility space with a huge extra fridge! Also we managed to for two cars on the drive parked close together with the gate open at no issue to any other properties as did the house next door. We all agreed we would go back again and hope the owner can work through these little snags to make this amazing.

Lots of space, very comfortable and well equipped. The showers/bath however, had very poor water pressure which resulted in a couple of cold showers!

The double room without an on suite door was sticking, so it was difficult to open/ close. We didnât have a high chair ( this was not a problem or we would have called) The shower temperature in the top floor shower couldnât be adjusted. All of the above didnât interfere with are stay, itâs a lovely property, very comfortable and well equipped perfectly located. We love Aldeburgh and have visited many times. Thank you
