Take a holiday with your partner in Benjamin Britten’s cottage. The composer, who lived here with his partner, wrote some of his most famous works while in residence, and they’re truly beautiful. You’ll be in the heart of Snape, a lovely Suffolk village with plenty of great wildlife to enjoy.
This property is all on one level. Enter to find the kitchen/diner, a great spot to cook your favourite meal. The room has a beautiful tile floor complemented with exposed brickwork. Then there’s the lounge, spacious for two and with comfortable sofas so you can curl up together. End your day in the double bedroom, where you can wake to a view of the garden. This property has one bathroom with a large shower. The garden is full of flowers and different plants, so it really springs to life in the summer months. It’s easy to see why this was such a perfect place to be creative.
You’ll be in Snape, a small village. There are all the necessities nearby, including a couple of pubs where you can meet the villagers and try local ales and beers. Amble 500 metres to Snape Marshes, where you’ll see plenty of wildlife. You might see ponies or cows grazing, but look closely to spot adders, slow worms, marsh harriers and barn owls, and perhaps otters if you’re lucky! For slow walks along the beach, try Aldeburgh, 5.5 miles, and you’ll also be able to grab a meal (or an ice cream) to enjoy.
