We used it as a base for coastal and inland Suffolk, doing coastal walks and visiting English Heritage and National Trust properties a bit further afield. Aldeburgh is charming and the beach is lovely. We particularly enjoyed The Red House which is within walking distance of 17, Lapwings. Benjamin Britten is everywhere in Aldeburgh and the place is all the better for it. The complimentary wine and chocolate biscuits were a nice touch and much appreciated.

Could have done with a non-slip mat for the bath/overhead shower. Supermarkets and pub close by. Would book again.

It was immaculately clean and stylish . The garden is a little gem. There is everything you need here for cooking ( not that we did ,there are excellent restaurants in Aldeburgh ) . Itâs about a ten, fifteen minutes stroll into town. Lapwings is very calm ,perfectly placed in a very quiet area. Not forgetting parking which to my mind is reassuring to know that you wonât be driving around trying to find a space. We really enjoyed our stay here and Iâm sure weâll return .
