Clean, warm and comfortable. Everything we needed was there, a real home from home. Thank you for the wine and biscuits. It's very quiet round there but is still close to the town. There's 2 supermarkets 5 minutes walk away and if you don't fancy going into town there's the Railway Inn or The Old Generator Station nearby. There's a lovely sunny garden but beware of the clothes line halfway down in the dark. Ouch! A great stay, a lovely holiday and we will be back again.

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.
