Aldringham is on the doorstep of Aldeburgh which has along with the surrounding area inspired many authors and poets in the past but the most famous son of the town is Benjamin Britten, who founded the Aldeburgh Music Festival, which now has worldwide acclaim and is held every year in June at Snape Maltings. Fishermen still pull their colourful boats up on the shingle beach and sell fresh fish from the picturesque huts. The wide, mainly Georgian high street has many attractive buildings whilst the seafront properties all have commanding views of the beach and the North Sea. Boating is popular on the nearby Alde estuary where a large variety of yachts can be seen at summer weekends.

The bungalow is in a good location for our needs and the enclosed garden just right for our little dog, but the patio has a sheer drop to the lawn , which could be dangerous , a small fence would be an excellent safety feature if one was put there . For both dogs or humans , children

Lovely roomy, clean and well equipped bungalow, in a lovely location. Lots of local information and maps provided. The nearest shops are only a 5 minute drive away. Plenty of tea and coffee provided plus a small bottle of milk for that first cuppa. The cooker itself is old and sluggish so cooking is a bit hit and miss. A very secure garden forRead more dogs. High hedges and any gaps filled with fencing. Just one gate at the side of house is lower than the rest of the garden. The area is very quiet, with walks close by. Perfect for anyone who doesn't mind a retro feel. The visitors book has many returning 7, 8, and 9 times. Hide

Our stay was very comfortable. It is most definitely "retro" style throughout but the sofas & beds etc were very comfortable and there was plenty of storage. If TV is your thing to relax to in the evening you may be a bit dissapointed as the tv is as "retro" as the rest of the property. The garden was enjoyed very much by our dog and is completelRead morely "escape proof". Our stay was fine albeit felt very frustrated after long days of walking along the coast, onlly to find we were hampered by the age/lack of "smart" controls of the tv. That wouldn't bother some people i am sure but we found it frustrating. Hide

The bathroom is dark and old fashioned as is the lounge with no view and the furniture is old and smelly. A complete refurbishment is required.
