Located just a 5-mile drive from Aldeburgh, this delightful cottage is an ideal escape for couples, families, and their four-legged companions. Aldeburgh boasts a scenic beach, independent shops, pubs, eateries, and galleries. Follow the route from Snape Maltings, winding along the River Alde estuary, and discover The Sailor's Path to Aldeburgh, where you might even spot sunbathing seals. The nearby village of Snape (2 miles) is famous for its Maltings, featuring exhibitions, concerts, and the renowned Aldeburgh Music Festival every June. More exploration awaits at the beautiful beaches of Thorpeness, Sizewell (7 miles), Dunwich (12 miles), Walberswick (15 miles), and Southwold (17 miles). Within a 9-mile radius, nature lovers and birdwatchers can explore the RSPB reserves at Minsmere and the National Nature Reserve at Orford Ness, providing safe havens for breeding and migratory birds. History buffs can't miss Sutton Hoo and the majestic Framlingham Castle, both within 11 miles.

Upon entering this charming cottage, you'll be greeted by a practical porch, perfect for stashing coats and shedding shoes. Proceed into the well-appointed kitchen/dining area, which is fully equipped to cater to your culinary needs and features a dining table and chairs for enjoying your meals. The cosy lounge beckons with its two comfortable sofas and a Smart TV for entertainment; it serves as an ideal space for unwinding, whether you're watching your favourite shows, delving into a good book, or engaging in board games. When the evenings turn cooler, the wood burner provides both charm and warmth, creating a cosy ambience. You will also find a handy downstairs WC for added convenience. As bedtime approaches, ascend to the upper level, where two comfortable bedrooms await – the primary bedroom offers a double bed with scenic field views, while the second bedroom is equipped with twin beds. The bathroom is located on the same floor.

Step out into the pretty enclosed rear garden – an ideal space for enjoying outdoor meals. You'll find a small courtyard area with garden furniture and a spacious lawn beyond, providing a lovely area for dogs and children to play.

A lovely cottage ideal for a family of 4 with a dog to explore the nearby coast line and surrounding countryside. The main road is noisy but the location is super handy to drive to Aldeburgh and walk to Snape. We enjoyed coming back to our own space of an evening after being out all day with family and friends to enjoy the cosy lounge and gardenRead more space. Hide

This is a gorgeous, well-appointed and extremely cosy cottage. The property has been well-decorated and maintained with some lovely touches, the kitchen has more than enough for a family of four, being very well-stocked and the relaxing corner on the landing upstairs was such a pleasant addition! Our children were thrilled to stay here, they didn'tRead more want to leave! We particularly enjoyed having the views of the fields and country landscape, we loved spying horses in the nearby paddock and the local rabbits grazing at dusk in the fields. It was a very welcome short break from city life in the London suburbs. The garden was large enough to have a kick-about but felt safe and enclosed - it was a shame the weather wasn't a bit better as we would have loved to have dinner alfresco and spent a bit more time relaxing on the patio. Overall, it was a very comfortable stay and the location in Snape Watering is close to all the local attractions in this part of Suffolk - Aldeburgh, Snape Maltings, Orford, Woodbridge, Saxmundham etc are all within close driving distance. In conclusion, we'd like to say a big thank you to the Peacocks for a great stay. Hide
