Situated near the beautiful River Alde in the magical seaside town of Aldeburgh, this gorgeous coastal getaway has been beautifully furnished to create an interior design haven. Sleeping eight guests, this retreat is perfect for families and large groups seeking a peaceful getaway to the beautiful Suffolk coast.

The calming neutral colour palette and trendy décor throughout this retreat create the ultimate peaceful space to unwind with loved ones. Flop down on the comfy chair beside the bay window in the snug or gather the gang in the adjoining lounge to catch the latest blockbuster on the Smart TV. Head through to the light and bright dining room to enjoy a locally sourced feast that’s been prepared in the contemporary farmhouse-style kitchen. Lose yourself in spectacular views across the Aldeburgh estuary from the bi-fold doors and fabulous balcony in the second-floor lounge with its inviting interiors, stylish sofas and games table.

Outside, the pretty rose garden is the ideal setting for sunset drinks and al fresco dining.

Admire the sights of bobbing fishing boats and fishermen selling the daily catch from the colourful huts at the charming seaside town of Aldeburgh. Spend a summer’s day strolling along the quaint promenade lined with 19th-century pastel-coloured villas before skimming stones out to sea at Aldeburgh Beach less than half a mile away. Enjoy breathtaking views seawards and inland following the river towards Orford (12 miles) whilst you peruse the Georgian high street boasting independent boutiques, cafes and restaurants. Housed in the iconic Moot Hall, a 16th-century Grade I-listed building, head to Aldeburgh Museum half a mile away to uncover the local area's rich history.

We thought the property was in and ideal location in Auldeburge. It was very well equipped and very comfortable. With eight people staying it was very easy to spread out throughout the house.

The house itself is big, well equipped and very comfortable. We love the position at the southern end of town but near both the high street with its shops, restaurants , pubs and chippies and the beach and the walks across the marshes.

What a find. We are 4 couples who do a weekend away every year. This is by far the best house we have stayed in , as it met all our needs. The location was perfect, with a short walk to the centre. Aldeburgh is a delightful seaside town with lots of character and a lovely walk along the seafront .

A beautifully equipped house in a perfect location, great views. It has a fabulous addition at the top of the house, an extra spacious lounge looking across the wild area behind, with an excellent football table and huge TV. Highly recommended for a gathering as every bedroom has its own bathroom.

A very large and comfortable property. Very well equipped with all you need and more. A really great location for local independent shops and a great variety of restaurants including a couple of great "fish &chip" shops. A really good base to explore the surrounding area.
