What our customers say about their holidays

  This is our fourth stay at Correggio and I love it. It sits in a wonderful position close to the beach as well as shops (co-op, amazing butcher with organic free range meat, fisherman's hut 50m away for the freshest seafood) making for a very easy holiday. No need to book a Tesco/Waitrose delivery - everything is on the doorstep and it's a pleasure to shop locally! Aldeburgh still has some lovely independent shops - if we don't use them, they'll disappear. Correggio is like no other holiday property I've stayed in - better than home from home in so many ways. One can't help but feel it's a privilege to share this house with the owners even though it's only for a holiday. It's steeped in history. Perhaps worth mentioning, but not as drawbacks, are two points. The property does not have a freezer - not necessary anyway in our view because of proximity of local produce. Parking a car takes a bit of forethought as the area immediately outside (Oakley Square) is a paying car park. There are a few free 2 hour maximum spaces nearby or you can pay for the car park. It's easy enough to unload your car and then abandon it elsewhere. What we do is park in the long stay car park about 10 minutes walk away (at Fort Green) for about £4 a day or at the top of the Town Steps which is unrestricted - running up and down the steps is good for fitness!

  Exceptionally clean and comfortable cottage The fixtures and furnishings were tasteful and high-quality. The log burner was magnificent and the sofas were so comfortable The bedding and towels were luxurious. Beautiful crockery, cutlery and selection of glasses. A fantastic location for beach walks, footpaths to Thorpeness and Snape. We didn’t use our car once. There was an excellent supermarket just over the road, and a pub! The local shops, pubs and restaurants are all delightful and less than five minutes walk. We cannot fault this cottage in any respects. The owners obviously use it as there are so many little touches and extras that you would only have if you sometimes live there yourself. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it, or your company, to other people. We use Isle of Wight Hideaways to rent out our holiday cottage on the island. It was very interesting staying in a Suffolk hideaways cottage and being on the other end of the relationship!

  We love Aldeburgh and like quirky which were two factors that influenced our choice of cottage. We were not disappointed with the location and it was great to be able to leave the car and walk everywhere from such a prime position, and enjoy the hustle and bustle that Aldeburgh offers. Having recently done our own 70's makeover at home we were looking forward to what we would discover at the cottage, and it is indeed quirky and eclectic. However, some of it is at the cost of comfort and potentially cleanliness which is a shame e.g. propping up a divan with books is neither quirky nor eclectic, nor is having to sit on top of several scatter cushions to get any kind of comfort on any of the seating in the lounge. The weather during our stay was cold, wet and windy and we appreciated the warmth of the cottage throughout and the very powerful shower in the ground floor bathroom.

  This is better than home from home. It's beautifully furnished with original paintings and lovely decor. An artist's house situated right in the middle of the town. Views from the windows are superb. The kitchen is farmhouse in style with masses of kitchen equipment, pots and pans etc. Modern washing machine and small dishwasher but no microwave or freezer - neither of which we consider a necessity! Fresh lovely food is available on a daily basis from all the excellent local shops and fishing boats on the beach. It's so close to the sea that you can change into swimming gear in the house and run down to the sea for a quick dip. Only adverse comment is that our tall son found the bunk beds a bit short and possibly the springs are not really up to adult weight! Other beds are perfection!
