One of a quirky terrace of fisherman's cottages at the southern end of Aldeburgh High Street and just a 1-minute walk from the beach, Bay Cottage offers comfortable family holiday accommodation split over three floors.

On the ground floor, the cosy sitting room with its wooden floor and period fireplace leads through to a very practical kitchen/diner with all the essentials for a self-catering holiday. There's a small courtyard garden to the rear of the cottage too, making it ideal for bringing your pet. On the first floor, two comfortable bedrooms await, one twin and one double, whilst on the second floor a further bedroom and ensuite can accommodate a further two guests.

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.

A lovely cosy cottage in a great spot. Everything was so clean and tidy when we arrived and the kitchen was well equipped. Comfy beds too!

Fabulous location. Shame the roadside parking outside the cottage is limited to 2 hours between 9am and 6pm. Not the end of the world but would have been good to know. Free parking is available in roads off the high street. Cottage is tired, bathrooms have been updated but the rest of the house needs some tlc

We had a comfortable stay. The cottage is nice and light but some of the furnishings are tired and the house could do with less clutter. There is free parking outside on the street and there was usually a space but it is time restricted so OK for loading but not for parking all day.

Living accommodation (sitting room/ dining and kitchen) too small for 6 people. Kitchen cupboards full of unnecessary old crockery and cottage generally too cluttered. Great location and additional bedroom at top very good. I would suggest it would comfortably suit a maximum of 4 people.
