Situated at the southern-most end of Aldeburgh High Street, Flint Cottage oozes character. Sat behind the rather unique characterful double-fronted, flint façade with unusual stepped roofline you'll find truly homely, pet-friendly, self-catering holiday accommodation perfect for exploring the Suffolk coast. The ideal base for families, friends or couples to have a relaxing break in this picturesque coastal town.
Flint Cottage is spacious and fresh throughout, there is a bookcase laden with books and games for those potential rainy days, you can snuggle up with a good book or quality time with the family playing board games. The large kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need on a self-catering holiday, but with the restaurants, pubs and fish and chip shops of Aldeburgh within walking distance, there's really no need to cook!
Upstairs, there are four good-sized and simply furnished bedrooms, perfect for an extended family holiday. One of the bedrooms even has its own private staircase!
The mature garden is a real asset to this property. When you want a break from Aldeburgh's coastal breeze but still want to enjoy the sounds and smells of the seaside, this is the place to be, with marshland out to the rear and Aldeburgh beach less than a minutes stroll away.

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.
