This former fisherman’s cottage, tucked away from the high street in Aldeburgh, is a great choice for a couple or small family wanting to be close to both the beach and town.
Eight steps lead down to the brightly painted facade and inside the ground floor is equally cheerful. Nautical tones, plump sofas, and homely decor make the lounge a comfortable and chic space, and after a day’s activity it’s a lovely room to unwind in. When mealtimes beckon, you’ll find a sleek and shiny kitchen equipped with a sociable dining table and all the essentials needed to rustle up a family meal. Also on the ground floor is a bathroom, handy for washing the sand from your feet after a day on the beach. Come bedtime, head upstairs, and choose between a lovely double bedroom and a single bedroom. The bedrooms are wonderfully tranquil with fresh interiors, ample wardrobe space, and plenty of natural light. After a good night’s sleep, start the day with a morning coffee in the pretty courtyard. Enclosed by a fence, it’s a tranquil place to sit and bask in the sun or plan the day’s agenda.
Aldeburgh is a fashionable seaside town with a shingle beach and promenade. Swim in the sea or try your hand at sailing then walk to the high street and feast on tasty fish and chips. Keen walkers can also jump on the Sailor’s Path and enjoy a scenic six-mile hike to the Snape Maltings, a charming arts complex brimming with independent shops, galleries, and restaurants. For more leisurely activity, enjoy a round of golf at Aldeburgh’s 18-hole or 9-hole golf course.
