I stayed at this cute little cottage for a week covering Christmas. I had the most relaxing time. It was comfy, cosy, clean and very warm. Being able to park my car safely was a bonus. A very well equipped kitchen so was able to cook a Christmas dinner without any problems. Convenient for the beach and the town. I will definitely return.

The cottage is beautifully warm and cosy, so much so that we had to turn radiators off. It's so easy to walk into the town, and the car parking space at the church is very convenient.

Very quaint, shared rear courtyard (not acceptable esp when others had dogs and thier dogs kept running into our cottage). Very small but efficient bathroom. Cottage on busy thorough fair so noisey.BUT ideal position for walking into town and pubs.

We had a lovely time at the property. It's in a great location, very easy to get to the centre of aldeburgh. Really handy having the parking permit for the church nearby. Katy responded quickly to any questions we had. The TV wasn't the easiest to use but we managed to watch on I Player.

Good location. Heating worked well. Cottage needs a facelift in terms of quality of furnishings, thought about matching plates , decent coat hangers etc . Feels all very thrown together and done on the cheap.

We decided to go back to Aldeburgh for a short winter break again this year. No 3 Alde Lane is located on the road into town so only a short walk to beach and high street. The cottage was really clean and tidy. It felt really cosy on a cold weekend. Parking over the road in the Church car park is also a bonus. Great stay, would recommend.

Very pretty Cottage only 4 minutes walk from beach and North end of the high street The charming small courtyard is communal shared between 4 of the cottages and gets the evening sun. The kitchen is small but well appointed and the cottage is very comfortable. It is next to the main road into Aldeburgh so there is some traffic noise but only busyRead more in the morning rush hour.
