Situated at the end of a private no-through lane, with a unique and hard to come by and peaceful location, Poplars offers a seaside escape like no other.

Just 700 yards from the famous pebble beach of Aldeburgh, Poplars has easy access to the seafront via short stroll. It will only take you 5 minutes to reach the beach, so you won’t even need to pack a picnic, if you don’t want to! The bustling and charming high street of Aldeburgh is just a 15-minute stroll away (where you can get those all-important fish ‘n’ chips), whilst two supermarkets are just a 2-minute drive away.

Poplars has been completely rebuilt into a stunning, modern holiday home which can sleep up to 10 guests in 5 luxurious bedrooms. This impressive, self-catering holiday home has been beautifully furnished to create a truly spacious and stylish property ideal for bringing your whole family or group of friends together. At the heart of the home is a super sociable space; one of the many very special features of this house. A large open plan space unites the kitchen, sitting and dining room to create the perfect space for families and friends to come together. All ages are sure to love it here!

With some ground floor bedrooms and facilities, Poplars offer a unique escape to the Suffolk Coast. There is a sloped entrance to the front door to allow for wheelchair access and the ground floor is all on one level. There is also ample parking for up to 4 cars. The generous garden is perfectly private and offers a great space for guests to relax in.

So, whether it is a special occasion, a get together with friends or a multigenerational family getaway, Poplars truly does tick so many boxes for your next Suffolk escape!

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. Just three miles away from this location is the magical Suffolk coastal village of Thorpeness. Thorpeness was created in the 1920s by Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie, an architect, barrister and playwright. Amenities in Thorpeness itself include the Dolphin Inn pub; The Kitchen Cafe; Thorpeness Hotel and Country Club with tennis courts; a superb 18-hole golf course, extensive sports field and the Meare - a large shallow boating lake with tearooms nearby. There are miles of mainly sandy beaches to explore, as well as a myriad of gorgeous footpaths through forests, fields and across the heath.

We had a wonderful weekend stay celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary with our family. There were 3 generations of us & we all enjoyed staying at the Poplars as there was plenty of room inside & out. The lovely weather was also a bonus. A perfect stay. Thank you.

A comfortable, well-equipped holiday home in a great location. 10 mins walk to the pebbly beach, 10 mins walk to 2 supermarkets, 15 mins walk to the lovely town of Aldeburgh. We enjoyed days out at Easton Farm Park, Framlingham Castle and Southwold.

'Poplars' is a beautiful house in an excellent location. It was ideal for our family get-together. The kitchen/dining/lounge area is a great design. The generous fridge and freezer, large gas hob and oven were greatly appreciated. I particularly loved the big picture window in the main bedroom, overlooking fields, which could be enjoyed from the beRead mored or the seating area. There were generously large white fluffy towels - a luxury that many hosts overlook. Two large, wet rooms AND a bath catered for everyone! The owner could not have been more helpful, arranging to have fans delivered, since we stayed during a heat wave. It was a wrench to leave! Hide

The Populars was an ideal property to house a large gathering of people of all ages. It's location also works well because it is in easy walking distance to Aldeburgh, close to two supermarkets and it's large garden provides a space to sit out in to eat, drink and play. All of the rooms are of a good standard and the two upstairs rooms with ensuiteRead more are very good. Hide

We had a brilliant stay at this cottage. It was clean, comfortable, well equipped and spacious. There was ample parking and it was in a quiet location. The town and sea were a short walk away. Aldeburgh is a delightful place to stay.

Lovely property and well equipped. Its 15 mins to beach through smart caravan/lodge park, then another 5 mins to centre of town. In fact this is a virtue as avoids the crowds and nocturnal seagull noise .

Lovely cottage in a great position, 15 minute walk to shingle beach. Was disappointed that the swing that was shown in the photos was not there, as my 17 month old grandson would have loved it.
