Neatly tucked behind a sliding pocket door, the corner shower cubicle has a hand-held shower on an adjustable pole, a wash basin, a WC, and a heated towel rail.
BACK BEDROOM
An equally bright bedroom sitting quietly at the back of the house with a super king size zip and link bed so you can choose a twin configuration if you prefer (be sure to let us know your preference in advance to avoid any additional charges for linen). You can unpack and settle in as the wardrobe has hanging and shelving and there are bedside drawers, as well as a little shelf, mirror and chair to use for hair drying and make up.
OUTSIDE
The fully enclosed courtyard garden is a great asset; safe for children, primarily gravelled with a wooden deck furnished with a table and chairs to you can eat outside, and there’s a gate to West Lane at the side so you can wheel bikes in if you wish; plus there's a clothes dryer waiting for your beach gear! West Lane runs from the High Street up a flight of steps to The Terrace where there's unrestricted parking. The garden gate and wall on West Lane are high so people can't see over but it's not possible to lock the gate from the inside as neighbours have access too.
You can park outside the cottage for two hours during the day which makes it easy to offload, and it's unrestricted at night.
We had a fabulous stay at pelican cottage. The best thing about the cottage is its central location, right on the high street walkable to the beach and all shops/pubs! The house is clean and the beds are very comfy. I would mention the staircase is very steep, for kids and people with mobility issues this could be tricky! Also the pressure/temp of the upstairs shower is affected when the downstairs shower is on. Apart from that, no complaints would definitely recommend!
Fabulous stay, great hosts!
Delightful two bedroom cottage ideally located in the centre of town. Had everything that we needed.
A lovely place to stay in the heart of Aldeburgh. We would definitely stay there again.
Beautiful accommodation, amazing location. Lovely and clean!
Clean and comfortable cottage in a great location. Could do with a few repairs - things a bit scruffy but clean. I.e shower doors and bathroom skirting etc
Great location within easy walking distance of the high street shops & the seafront. It met our requirement of 2 equal sized bedrooms. The front bedroom had an ensuite shower & toilet. Clothes were hung on the back of the door as there was no wardrobe. The back bedroom occupier used the downstairs bathroom. We were pleased to find 2 decorated Christmas trees, a bottle of prosecco & a box of mince pies on our arrival. The heating was pre-set at a very comfortable level. There was a good range of glasses, crockery & ovenware. We enjoyed our stay & would re-book.
Ideal location on the high street less than a minute’s walk from the beach. The house was well stocked for our arrival and we didn’t want for anything. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful weekend getaway!
Great location and a pretty little house right on the high street. Very special at Christmas time. Was left a good welcome pack which was a lovely touch. Beds great and quiet at night. Our only criticism was that the house could have been cleaner in the lounge and hall. We were also given a very late check in time of 4 pm. We did asked if we could check in slightly earlier but to check in at 2 came with a £25 fee, which we thought was mean and unnecessary, so we delayed our journey which was annoying.
