An attractive cottage in the tranquil village of Friston, this charming retreat is ideal for a family or a group of friends. Set in picturesque countryside, 4 miles from the coastal town of Aldeburgh, the three-bedroom abode is well positioned for anyone wishing to enjoy both the Suffolk countryside and the Heritage Coast. Find yourselves 4.5 miles from the unique seaside village of Thorpeness, developed in the early 20th century as an exclusive holiday destination and still retaining its very individual charm. Spend time at Snape Maltings, 3 miles away, with its spectrum of shops and eateries, as well as its famous concert hall. Visit Dunwich, 10 miles away, where a once thriving medieval port was swallowed by the sea.

Open the front door to the cottage and head through to the lounge/diner to unwind after each adventure. Watch TV in here, listen to music and lay a fire in the wood burner to light in the evening. Prepare meals in the generous kitchen, where there is a breakfast bar – it has all the equipment you need to help you. Make a cup of fresh coffee in the machine or pour yourself a glass of chilled water from the fridge too. Also downstairs are a family wet room and a handy boot room for coats and shoes. Make your way up the steep stairs, with narrow treads, to the family bathroom, which has an elegant, free-standing bath on a raised plinth, up a few steps. A twin bedroom, a double and a king-size room that’s accessed via two steps and with a TV and DVD player are also on the first floor.

Soak up the sunshine on the patio. Dine outside too, perhaps lighting the BBQ as you take in the superb country views. There is an outhouse here as well with a washing machine plus storage for any bikes.

The cottage was great. Had everything we required. We were very lucky with the weather so we could also enjoy the benefit of a very quiet garden with countryside views. It was very peaceful. The cottage is in a good location to head off and enjoy other parts of Suffolk, especially the coast. We enjoyed our stay there.

We found the cottage itself delightful, very comfortable and wonderful views. With regard to parking it is very tight, our 4 x 4 had difficulty fitting onto the drive and certainly there was no room for another car. There is certainly room for two smaller cars but definitely not too bigger ones.

A fantastic modernised fully equipped village cottage retaining many of its original and traditional features overlooking the local farmers fields to the rear. A quant little village, Friston once upon a time had its own bakery, blacksmith, general store, post office, three other shops, its own paper lady and not to mention the local primary schooRead morel, millers, agricultural business and John Ball MOT station. Two thriving farms currently exist together with the very popular Old Chequers Pub supplying local ales and hearty meals - only a two minute walk from the Alde Cottage! The 14th century St Marys Virgin church and village green compliments this very picturesque village wherein lies the beautiful and traditional Alde Cottage located very close to Aldeburgh coast renowned for its fish & chip shop conveniently situated next door to a pub! - Alde Cottage is most certainly very highly recommended and very good value for money!

Alde Cottage was very cosy and comfortable. Everything was of a high standard and the owners had thoughtfully provided toiletries, as well as a welcome pack. It was also nice to have some books, dvds and games in the house. The layout is family friendly and the garden well kept and a great additional space. We particularly enjoyed time in Minsmere,Read more Thorpeness and Walberswick ion sunny days. And, the Clip N Climb in Ipswich and the local pool in Lieston leisure centre were great for the children on wetter days. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - thank you. Hide
