This characterful cottage is perfect for a small group of friends or family to enjoy a relaxing coastal break together. Set right in the centre of the historic seaside town of Aldeburgh, both the town and the beach are on your doorstep. There is a strong sense of community in the town and it has a long and fascinating history dating back to Tudor times. Visit the local museum to find out more about its interesting shipbuilding and nautical history. It is also very much a cultural hub hosting the annual Aldeburgh Festival founded by Benjamin Britton. As you wander its streets you’ll pass pretty pastel-painted fishermen’s cottages and discover an array of interesting shops and galleries. There are plenty of great places to eat and drink too, with quite a lively bar and restaurant scene for somewhere so small. In the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Aldeburgh is an ideal location for bird watchers and walkers. The estuary, marshes and shingle banks are home to a wide variety of wildlife and there are sailing and yacht clubs at nearby Slaughden 1 mile away.
