Guests say
Mariners Cottage in Aldeburgh is highly praised for its superb location, cosy atmosphere, and comfortable furnishings. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, underfloor heating, and the lovely outside space. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is positive with many looking forward to returning.
The cottage is generally described as spotless. However, one guest mentioned a stale odour in a bedroom upon arrival and another suggested the bathroom grouting could be cleaner. These seem to be isolated comments rather than a trend.
The location is consistently described as superb, with its proximity to the water, high street, and local amenities. It is considered perfect for exploring Aldeburgh.
Guests find the cottage cosy and intimate, with comfortable beds and bedding. The underfloor heating is a highlight, contributing to the overall comfort of the stay.
The property is well-furnished with quality amenities, though some guests noted the absence of a microwave and issues with the TV and shower facilities. The need for more coat hooks and a mixed tap in the sink were also mentioned.
While a guest mentioned lovely welcome gifts, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of thoughtfulness across all stays. As such, it should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.
About this property
A hidden gem in the heart of Aldeburgh in Suffolk, Mariners Cottage, King Street, is the ideal destination for a family or couples on holiday together. The accommodation is beautifully presented and offers a superb opportunity for a chilled out break. The delightful sitting room offers flexible living with folding doors helping to separate the space so that guests can relax in the sitting area while the other guests can chill out in the adjoining space and watch TV. Take off your shoes and enjoy walking barefoot on the beautiful slate floors which are warmed by underfloor heating. While the chef gets on with cooking up a storm in the fully fitted kitchen, visitors can pull up a chair and socialise in the elegant dining room which has doors leading to the outside courtyard, offering another charming space for dining. You can imagine spending balmy evenings outside drinking and dining and catching up with each other’s holiday adventures. When bedtime calls, take your pick from the twin or super-king-size; both are stylishly presented and offer a relaxing sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of holiday life. While Mariners Cottage offers a relaxing escape, it also occupies a superb location in the heart of vibrant Aldeburgh where as well as the beach being within a short walk, you will find an excellent selection of shops and amenities on the high street. There are a number of great walks and cycle rides to be had in the area with Aldeburgh Marshes offering some great photo opportunities.

Mariners Cottage offers a home-from-home in the heart of Aldeburgh.
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!

We had liked it last year and thought weâd come back in the hope the bathroom, which was the only disappointment last year, would have improved. As last year, the whole house was very pleasant, except for the somewhat neglected feel of the bathroom. Towels & bedding are of a high standard, cleanliness throughout was good (except for the bathroom floor) and the kitchen equipment adequate for a holiday stay. Aldeburgh is a pleasant town with a lovely beach and plenty to enjoy in the surrounding area.

Great location, lovely outside space and comfortable. We have stayed here 3 times now and love it. Small points - needs more coat hooks downstairs. Thereâs nowhere to put anything except one hook on the front door. Not enough when youâre a family of 4! Also could do with a microwave perhaps?
