Pet-friendly, luxurious and hosting fourteen guests in unrivalled comfort - this holiday home really does tick an array of boxes for a stand-out stay on the Suffolk heritage coast. The property is located in Aldeburgh, a fantastic tourist town on the East Anglia coastline with so many attractions for guests of any age. You can spend hours on the beach (less than 500 metres), embark on a boat trip from the Alde Estuary (0.5 miles), or watch a film at the town’s historic independent cinema (0.5 miles). The town is also awash with bustling shops, quality eateries and some award-winning fish and chip shops! Follow the coastal path or jump in the car to explore other popular destinations within the Suffolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Discover the pier and beautiful beach at Southwold (18 miles) or head to Orford (11.5 miles) to discover a coastal nature reserve and a historic castle.

This detached seven-bedroom property stands alone on a pretty tree-lined street. Step inside to find opulent interiors, original features and neutral painted walls that create a serene atmosphere. As you enter onto the ground floor, you’re met by a kitchen and dining room which are perfect for entertaining. With its Range oven and large fridge, the kitchen is well equipped to ensure you’ve got all you need to cook up a magnificent meal. More casual dinners can be enjoyed at the breakfast table, but celebratory occasions call for the opportunity to sit around the dining table. After dinner, split up or stick together for an evening of relaxation. The property offers an attractive sitting room with a cosy open fire and a well-furnished garden room with a TV. Competitive guestsmay even prefer to head into the garage for a friendly game of table tennis or darts. Continue through the property and onto the first and second floors to find places for everyone to sleep. Three of the seven bedrooms are on the first floor alongside three handy family bathrooms. The first of these is a master bedroom with a king-size bed, the second is a double and the third is a comfortable twin. From here, two staircases lead up to four further bedrooms on the second floor. Each staircase leads up to a double bedroom with sea views and a twin bedroom.

Our large family (14) spent a fun weekend together at The Gables. We were lucky with the weather, so were able to make the most of the garden, The teenagers enjoyed playing table tennis. The house is very close to the town and beach. Lots of hot water for all the showers! Enough space for us all to sit round the dining table for meals. Good to haveRead more 2 dishwashers. Hide

Just a quick note to mention that we had a lovely stay at The Gables but there were a couple of things that were not ideal and I think need attention. 1. The building site next door starting loud banging before 8.30 on Monday morning and unbelievable piling and deafening concrete foundation creation at 7 on Tuesday morning. I cannot believe thisRead more is permitted by Suffolk County Council. To avoid complaints from all your summer guests I would suggest some steen words are issues to the next door builders. 2. The main oven door does not close properly. With the additional of illegible markings on the controls the oven was a challenge to use to cook anything requiring proper heat control. It needs attention, if not replacement. 3. With 14 occupants it would be appreciated if there were at least one spare loo roll per bathroom. It is disappointing in a quality property that the first job on arrival is to buy loo roll. It was not as if the supplied loo roll in each bathroom was even a full new ones. It would also be appreciated if there could be some super king beds in the larger bedrooms. They are more comfortable! I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Lucy Evans Hide
