Aldeburgh and the surrounding area has 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.

Views to die for and so nice to have the living space on the first floor, so passers by arent looking in or parked vehicles blocking the view. The heating and hot water are amazing and the beds very comfortable. Just prepare yourself for a Seventies throwback feel on the furnishings and carpets and you wont be disappointed. The wonderful sunriseRead mores and ability to sit and privately watch the world go by make up for it. We would book the property again. Hide

Perfect location right by the sea yet close to shops. Plenty of room and well-equipped kitchen (although it is gas rather than electric, which the web site says). Nice to have books, games and jigsaw puzzles available. We came in November so managed to get street parking close to the house; in higher season this would be difficult.

Beach Cottage is exceptionally spacious, in all areas, comfortable, and in a perfect position overlooking the beach. Facing due East, excellent for the Sun rising in the mornings, and people (and dog) watching. There are numerous "Fish Sheds", along the beach selling a wide variety of fresh & smoked fish, all with-in a very short distance. Best pRead moreub " The White Hart" (good real ale - no food - locals pub), not impressed with "Mill Inn" (staff very sloppily dressed, not up to Adnams' usual standard!!) If taking hairdryers etc., good idea to take an extension lead!! Good spacious shower cubicle in double bedroom. Hide

This is such a comfortable well positioned cottage. Great place for a relaxing seaside break. Many hours spent sitting in the bay window watching the world go by. Lovely sunrises and good walking. Good restaurants and pub within walking distance - the cod tempura from the Thai Street Food restaurant was absolutely amazing!
