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.

Great location. House is definitely quirky, with uneven floors and low doorways and a very steep staircase, as well as a normal one. Its maybe better suited to summer stays rather than winter, as heating was not sufficient.

We enjoyed our stay and would certainly look this cottage again. It's in a great location a few minutes walk to the beach or town and links to footpaths. A nice size enclosed garden for dogs too.

Loved this very interesting and spacious cottage. Good location with excellent dog-proof garden. Lovely kitchen providing all equipment you might need. Aldeburgh very dog friendly with most eating places/pubs allowing dogs. Just be aware of uneven floor levels throughout the cottage, particularly upstairs.

Fabulous cottage full of character, well equipped, comfy beds. Low doors may be difficult if you are tall. Perfect garden for the dogs, very secure. We loved it. A great base to explore Suffolk with many nice walks close by.

I love this cottage but over the last eight years I have watched it deteriorate. So sad as its one of the perfect hidden gems in Aldeburgh.

Lovely, characterful cottage in an excellent location. The bag of welcome food gifts was a delightful surprise. The car parking caused an issue because it was very difficult to squeeze past the neighbour's car on the drive.

Cottage is very spacious and comfortable and, of course, in an excellent location. The bag of goodies - both for humans and dogs - was very well received. We already knew Aldeburgh of old, but would happily stay in Church Farm Cottage again.

We found this cottage warm, comfortable and quiet, with thought having been put into equipment, facilities and furnishings. Equipment/heating are simple to use - a bonus! It's in a great position in Aldeburgh, with lots of excellent walks/runs for people/dogs, as well as shops and eating places. Thank you for a great stay over New Year.

Very happy with everything regarding the cottage. Parking could cause issues as once you are parked up you may get blocked by neighbours. Not their fault it is more that these are old properties and not designed to accommodate cars ..
