A lovely spacious house which fitted the bill for a diamond wedding anniversary celebration for a cross generational party of 10. Kitchen was well equipped and the house was very comfortable and in a lovely quiet location walking distance to the centre of town. Check in and out was very straightforward. We would definitely come back again!

A lovely location with lots of character. Easy walks to the High Street and the beach on the one side and easy access to the reedy marshes and the river walks.

A wonderful stay in a beautiful home. We were surprising our friend with all of her nearest and dearest and this house was the perfect place to do it! A 10 minute walk to the sea, spacious living areas, a stunning kitchen to host from and the perfect outside space. All of the guests just kept saying “what a find!”. Water pressures struggled a little with so many people staying in an older building and it might have been helpful to have a house name or number on the entrance to the house for more ease finding our way in. But these are things we quickly forgot while having such an incredible weekend! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful home with us.

We had a lovely stay in Aldeburgh. The house was as described and had all the equipment we needed to be comfortable and have a relaxing stay. We did struggle with hot water for the showers. Despite the water being hot in the kitchen, it didn’t reach its way to the showers which meant they were often lukewarm or cold. If that could have been sorted it would have been perfect.

Nothing to fault at all here. A really beautiful house, tucked away in a private location. We stayed for my daughters 9th birthday, that coincided with Mothers Day. A very spacious house, ideal for large families. A short walk down to the seaside and high street, added to the ease of the experience. Thank you for a fantastic stay.
