for a celebratory, long weekend. Wonderful property; everything you could possibly need. The location from town was a little misleading in the information; we expected a 5 mins walk but it was a good 20 mins along quite unlit roads in the evenings to walk into town. However, would thoroughly recommend.

This property was so successful because there was no arguments over the bedrooms as they all had there own bathroom and kingsize bed so a huge tick/star . Great location so easy to walk everywhere and parking was easy too for the extra cars as loads of free street parking in the main road . Good quality bedding, furnishing ,kitchen crockery and equipment .Would definitely recommend .

We very lucky with the weather and we had a wonderful time. The property is beautifully maintained and equipped. We have stayed in many holiday homes over the years and none were better than this. We particularly liked the small but beautifully designed gardens And the well equipped kitchen. It is very obvious that the owners have put a great deal of thought into providing everything for comfortable holiday. I am happy to recommend this property to anybody thinking of a stay in Aldeburgh. The house is in a quiet street and is a 10 to 15 minute walk from the High Street with all its shops and restaurants. One of the charms of this little town is that its facilities are out of proportion to its small town charm. if you are here, bibliophile then I recommend the towns bookshops and the pastry ice cream and beer lovers among us were well served . Itâs even closer to the beach which although shingle rather than sand was one of the highlights of our stay. Itâs a longer but lovely shoreline walk, 30 or 40 minutes, to Thorpeness, which we also enjoyed. We didnât really take advantage of the local attractions since we were there to relax and enjoy each otherâs company. We were slightly out of season so the local theatre was not yet in production, which wouldâve been nice, but altogether we had a fantastic time and I would recommend both Aldeburgh in general and Nutmeg in particular to anyone who Is looking for a relaxing family holiday.
