Snape is best known as the venue for the Aldeburgh Festival and for other events throughout the year held in the Maltings Concert Hall. However, the pretty village, at the head of the tidal estuary, is a popular holiday venue in its own right and central for exploring the unique area of the Suffolk Heritage Coast - the tidal estuary and network of footpaths are one of the most interesting areas of Suffolk for exploring on foot. There is easy access to the fascinating coastal town of Aldeburgh, plus castles and much more to explore at Framlingham and Orford. The burial treasures at Sutton Hoo, near Woodbridge, should not be missed either.

Reviews

Fantastic location on the South Coast Path, though some traffic noise. Beautiful cottage garden and a real cottagey feel, including a staircase which might present a few problems for some. The wildlife in the garden and on the estuary is very special - wonderful to stroll out at any time to soak up the ever changing views and tides and great to be so close to Snape Maltings.

Mr B,

Return trip to this lovely cottage in a great location. It meets my needs perfectly and is a great jumping off point for the suffolk coast and with pubs either side and the maltings for shopping and entertainment it couldn’t be more perfect. See you next year
