  • Brenda

    So comfortable, well equipped, and an ideal location for walking into Aldeburgh. The Welcome pack was a nice touch too. We arrived on a Friday evening so couldn’t park outside the cottage but found somewhere up the road. Will definitely be back!

  • Kathryn

    It was very convenient to have two small supermarkets within a few minutes walk away. We really enjoyed our stay here and loved the area.

  • Michelle

    It was in a good position about 10minutes walk from the seafront. We loved the welcome package too. We would definitely stay there again.
