The popular, vibrant seaside town of Aldeburgh is famous for its culture, traditional feel and one of the best fish and chip shops in the country! Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings are home to one of the world’s greatest music festivals and has been named as one of the top 50 places to live in Britain. Crag Path runs along the seafront dividing the beautiful pebbly beach from the unspoilt pastel-coloured seafront properties and the town. The beach is a popular place for groups and couples to enjoy the wonderful fish and chips throughout the summer months. The town is steeped in history and has become a wonderful town for shopping with a good mixture of independent and chain stores to enjoy. The town also offers a good selection of pubs and restaurants or why not buy some freshly caught fish from the huts on the seafront and cook up your own feast at home. For those wishing for a more action-packed holiday there is excellent walking, cycling, sailing and golf at Aldeburgh. Growing in popularity you will want to return to Aldeburgh again and again!

Especially loved the sunny first floor large bedroom. Good location for the park for grandchildren and dog. Nice walk to the beach. Some may see being on top of Tesco as a downside but for us it was very convenient. It was also surprisingly quiet. Wouldnât hesitate book again or recommend.
Hanna
We had a wonderful stay.
Joanne
It was expensive for a two night stay so great for couples who can share the cost. setting was beautiful and a stones throw away from main Aldeburgh street. Only gripe was checking out time. We thought for lots of people checking out at 10am was early. Had a little problem with the electric gate but apart from that it was fabulous!
