About this property

The entrance to this spacious holiday home is off Moot Green, leading to the majority of the accommodation on the ground floor. At the front of the house is the light and airy kitchen with dining table by the double doors in the bay; the master bedroom which also has double doors to the garden and the single with sea views and desk for those needing to do a spot of work! Stairs rise to the double off a half landing and onwards to the gorgeous living room with great views over the beach to the horizon to the east and the boating pond and Moot Hall to the north. The second twin, bathroom and shower room are also off the hall.

Running between the house and Crag Path is a large south facing patio style garden; simply a gorgeous place to relax and enjoy the sea air, surrounded by sea holly and whispering grasses. A table with a couple of benches and two carvers give you a choice of places to sit. Guests will be able to park on roads close by; directly outside the house is restricted but convenient for a couple of hours or overnight, and there’s unrestricted parking near the White Lion Hotel.

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!

    As noted in previous years the keybox needs replacing with a larger, more user-friendly model. Of our party of 6 (all in 70s & 80s) only two could get into it reliably(the numbers have faded & are almost invisible in the dark); furthermore it is very difficult to close with the keys inside. Unless there has been a change, when I next visit in December I shall need to collect the key direct from some body as I know I shall not negotiate the present keybox.(I have recently bought one for my home so I know a wide range of accessible boxes is available, some police-recommended.) On a separate note, the emergency instructions in the handbook need(ed )up- dating .My 83- year-old guest triggered a a flood in the bathroom after a tap went haywire after midnight ; instructions to shut off the stopcock were useless as no hint was given as to where the stopcock was located. Finally ( after the poor owner whom we had to disturb told us on the phone - well after midnight - ) where it might be, we had to break into some wood panelling to get to it. We were only able to speak to an emergency person attached to Sykes cottages (miles from Suffolk!) the following morning, who was border-line rude after we expressed frustration at the situation, after dealing with a night of broken sleep & a very upset, elderly guest) . This was all very disappointing, redeemed by the sympathy, kindness & concern of the property's owner,who has created this lovely house, & the pleasant plumber who came to supply & fix a new tap. We were surprised to receive no message or visit from the letting agent.
