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.

Reviews

Wonderful cottage. Excellent location, within easy walking distance for all that Aldeburgh has to offer. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. We will definitely be returning!

Mrs B,

This newly updated little cottage is perfectly placed for a seaside holiday. With easy access to the beach and shops, It is also conveniently placed 1 minute from an excellent fish and chip shop!

Previous Customer,

We had a wonderful stay at Top Step Cottage. It is ideally situated for the town itself, the beach and also for getting to other areas. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped and was perfect for our needs. The cottage garden was an added bonus and nice to sit in. Would be happy to recommend to family and friends, and would certainly return next year.

Mr S,

Great position, quiet but one minute from the High St. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped cottage. Owners kindly left welcome gifts of fruit juice, biscuits etc as well as rapeseed oil for cooking and other essentials. Small yard for pets Bathroom and loo downstairs from bedrooms which was ok for us but should be noted Overall would thoroughly recommend this property

Mrs W,

Top Step cottage is ideally situated, being just off the main street in Aldeburgh. It is small but comfortable and met our needs for the week.

Ms H,

A comfortable, well equipped cottage in a location near to the sea and shops. Great chip shop at the end of the road!

Mrs R,

Lovely cottage right on top of the little town and sea front. We will definitely be coming back for another visit.

Mrs E,

When booking this holiday break we were in the middle of Covid with all the uncertainties about taking a break. However the reassurances we were given by a very helpful member of staff gave us the confidence to go ahead and make our booking which we were pleased to do and thankful that we did. This property has been changed greatly since our last use of it four years ago. It has been upgraded and beautifully decorated and furnished with every comfort and much thought . The property is in the Centre of Aldeburgh just off the square with all amenities nearby. A tasteful small garden with seating area is provided off The Terrace overlooking the property.

Mr H,
