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. Aldeburgh is also home to one of the oldest golf clubs in Suffolk and has the added benefit of two courses which is perfect for visitors of the local area.

This modern cottage is in a very good location near the high street but far enough away to be peaceful. It has a large patio with good seating. The living area is small as it is adjoined to the kitchen. We felt the TV was too high resulting in neck ache. The upstairs is very spacious with a large family bathroom. I was disappointed with the parkinRead moreg at the cottage as it looked a lot bigger on the photos and it was a bit tight to get the car in (you have to leave enough space for the bin men to get the bins out) The cleanliness could be improved (There was a lot of dust, cobwebs and spiders) but I think it is the patio and the location that sells this house the shops are just round the corner and down the steps and of course the fish and chip shops and a very good Chinese takeaway.

A modern house in a great location and very close to the Aldeburgh sea front and high street. The off street parking is very handy. We enjoy the sound of the gulls in the morning, but if you dont the house has effective double glazing to help you sleep in.

A cosy property. A little on the small side in terms of comfortable seating but in warmer weather less of a problem as outdoor seating provided. I was surprised the beds were standard doubles - I consider this small as most places have king size beds these days.
