Published on Apr 25, 2015 Aldeburgh is a coastal town in the English county of Suffolk. Located on the River Alde, the town is notable for its Blue Flag shingle beach and fisherman huts where freshly caught fish are sold daily, and the Aldeburgh Yacht Club. The internationally renowned Aldeburgh Festival of arts, which takes place at nearby Snape Maltings, was created in 1948 by the resident and acclaimed composer Benjamin Britten. Category Top 20 Aldeburgh Vacation Rentals, Vacation Homes & Condo Rentals - Airbnb Aldeburgh Entire home/apt · 4 beds · 6 guests Location excellent, offers good basic accommodation for up to 3 people/couple with 2 children, in the heart of Aldeburgh, 2 mins walk to the beach, 5 mins walk to the river, comprising 2 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen-diner, living room. Note: no TV. This is a real home hosted by a real resident.

The cottage is on the quiet end of the High Street for convenience and the seafront is just two streets parallel and to the east. The river walks and Martello tower walk along the seafront are 3 minutes away to the south as the town gives way to spectacular views of the sea on the left and the river on the right. Sunsets are a must. My partner is an artist and her colourful contemporary works often featuring nature can be seen around the cottage! My telescope is available for start gazers. During the winter I provide my guests with free coal and kindling to make the front room toasty. During the summer bedlinen is air dried in the sea breeze. The house is entirely for the use of the guests. There is a space for a couple of bikes which can be secured to a small tree at the rear of the cottage in the utility area. Apart from greeting guests with keys and information I leave you in peace! However, as my reviews show, I am always an airbnb message away for further information. Aldeburgh is famous not only for its fish and chips and music conservatoire but is packed with independent boutiques, delis and cafes, pubs and restaurants.

It boasts fish, lobster and crab sourced off the coast sold fresh daily in fishermens huts on the beach, no less than two yacht clubs, and is full of pretty and quirky houses along the high street and sea front. RECOMMENDED Canoeing and Kayaking at Iken near Snape Maltings (website hidden) £25-£30 for 2 hours RECOMMENDED Pubs and restaurants for you… Fish and Chips – the famous Aldeburgh Fish and Chip shop fries traditionally with lard and is the one near the cottage - literally 100 yards up East side of High Street. Most fish is locally caught. Opening times on chalk board. Be warned the queue gets outrageous on weekends! However, as long as you join the queue before closing time they keep open until the queue has been served. There is another branch further up the High Street near the Co-Op which fries using vegetable oil should you prefer. Pubs: the White Hart is next to the Fish and Chip shop, there is seating outside and a good wood fired pizza stall most evenings. The pub is popular with locals and visitors alike and get busy at times but has a lively and including atmosphere.

The Cross Keys is toward the Moot Hall (near junction where you entered the High Street. This pub is mainly original C17th with extensions, has big open fireplaces and low ceilings, also a sitting area at the back which faces the sea. Less locals and more tourists here, the joy is in the architecture and they serve food. Restaurants: The Lighthouse (past the Co-Op) for a traditional atmosphere or the Brudenell Hotel (on sea front close to cottage) for a modern design and views of the sea. Snacking, coffee and breakfasts are catered for by Munchies (half way up West side High Street). There many other eateries as you will see but this will start you off! RECOMMENDED Walk or Cycle 5.7 miles Download the map here: (website hidden) From the cottage turn right and go onto unmade road towards Martello Tower. At (1) take the path along the top of the 2 metre river defence to your right and follow along the river past the yachts.

At (2) take a right off the wall and negotiate the odd field and odd cow to the Allotments (3) if on bikes you will have to lifer them over some of the styles (you could walk this part, go back to cottage for a snack and then set off on bikes for the trip to Thorpeness and back). At (3) turn left continue to roundabout. Take 3rd exit on roundabout (Church Farm Road) and immediately look out for the path on your left. This will take you past the Caravan site on your left and after 100 yds you will find the start of the disused railway track from Aldeburgh to Saxmundham. This is a lovely straight and cycle friendly path that peters out after a mile and a bit. When the path peters out there is a bench on the left for viewing and resting and you will see a house. Go to the right of this house and negotiate the path which runs between the Thorpeness Meare (scenic artificial lake which you can hire a boat on) and the 3rd fairway of the Thorpeness Golf Course. Actually you will find yourself pretty much on the edge of the golf course all is fine.

Me and my family once decided to have a picnic on the green and some old dears playing golf were not amused – our offer of a pastic cup of wine was rejected. I thought my 10year old daughter's offer to rake the sand back into order in the bunker she had been jumping in and out of a fair one. The ladies were not amused! Ok, so you will literally arrive at the Thorpeness Golf Club and can go by road to Thorpeness proper. Here you can grab ice cream by the Meare, grab a brilliant and cheap crab salad at the cafe, have Adnams beer or lunch at the Dolphin pub, have a boating expedition on the Meare etc. Now time for a ride south on the road to Aldeburgh stopping off at the Maggie Hambling Scallop sculpture on the beach to your left as you near Aldeburgh - Aldeburgh. When it arrived it divided local opinion but I really like it, a sculpture you can climb on gets my vote. As you enter town you have the Cross Keys by the seafront, Brudenell hotel bar for a cocktail looking at the sea form where you are 40 paces from the cottage.

Or the Aldeburgh Fish & Chip shop (check opening hours) and a pint in the White Hart next door – or wood fired pizza in the pub yard if you prefer. The beauty of Aldeburgh is being able to forget the car and walk to every amenity you could wish for within 500 yds, with the relaxation of the beach and the wildlife of the marshes towards the river minutes away. There is free street parking outside the cottage. There are so many attractions, local walks, and wildlife and so much to look at that a guest need not plan too far ahead – perfect for a good relaxing break, and pottering about! The cottage is in an ideal location in the perfect setting of beautiful Aldeburgh. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay for 2-3 people. We would not hesitate to recommend it to our friends. Matthew was a perfect host and Sarah the next door neighbour was most helpful. Overall we enjoyed our time and would visit again.

AnthonyJuly 2015 This was a great value place to stay - the house is really conveniently located at the end of the high street and is very quirky and characterful, with a fully equipped kitchen and plenty of space for a couple (with an extra bedroom for families with children). Matthew was really easy to communicate with and very helpful when we arrived in showing us how to use all of the heaters and appliances. Aldeburgh itself is wonderful, offering a plethora of nice restaurants, cafes and fish and chip shops and some lovely walks in the nearby countryside/ along the beaches. Highly recommend! LeonieMarch 2016 Hi Matthew, we had a lovely stay in the cottage and certainly were lucky with the weather. We will certainly be back as it saves the drive from Stowe every day. Aldeburgh is definitely better in low season with the right weather. Sorry we did leave a bit of rubbish but my other daughter came up with granddaughter so we had Mother's Day and present giving.

The location is fab - right in the centre of Aldeburgh close to the pubs and restaurants, and practically on the seafront.

The property was as described, it was clean and very comfortable with quality furniture and appliances. It is ideally situated for the town centre (lovely shops and cafes) and the beach. The location is quiet and having an allocated parking space was a real convenience.

There is a pub just down the road which serves good pub food and plenty of other eateries within easy walking distance.

AndrewOctober 2015 We stayed 3 nights and loved it. The location is ideal, really close to the sea, but in a quiet street between the waterfront and the main street, just one small block South of the busy area (shops, pub, fish & chips...). Free parking in the street proved convenient and easy, even in July. The immediate neighbours were very quiet and friendly (the seagulls were probably the noisiest). The cottage itself is much larger than it looks on the photographs (even the new ones). It is a lovely balance of authenticity and modern comfort, all newly renovated and redecorated (we loved the colours). Special notes for the bright fully equiped kitchen and the spacious shower in the bathroom, an addition to the Victorian style bathtub very much appreciated by us from the Continent. We also loved sharing our meals on the stunning oak table. We could have settled all by ourselves thanks to the clever key system, but we got to meet Sophie upon arrival and she proved even kinder than she had already seemed in the different messages we had exchanged through the booking process. She even left for us stawberries, milk and wine in the fridge as a greeting gift and went a long way to make us feel comfortable.

Sophie is indeed a lovely person. We definitely recommend her and her cottage. IsabelleJuly 2015 We needed a quiet relaxing break and that is exactly what we got. From the moment we stepped inside, we felt at home. The place was well equipped with quality equipment and comfortable beds. Really impressed and can't wait to return. RichardJuly 2016 What a clean comfortable house. Happy dinners at the oak table and cosy film evenings by the fire. Perfect size for four of us. Very comfortable spacious double bed! We'd love to come again:) FloraDecember 2016 This is a super cottage with high quality decoration, furniture and equipment (and everything works). Really good location, yards from the beach and a couple of minutes stroll into the centre of Aldeburgh. Sophie was very helpful and understanding, with excellent, timely communications. Harry is a very nice person too. We would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage. Although there were only two of us it is of ample size for four. MikeSeptember 2015 A lovely stay at the Chocolate Box. Hosts communicated so well and my stay was great. Generous hosts leaving wine, a bottle of beer and some milk in the fridge.

Wifi fast and everything very clean and charming. brionyNovember 2016 Sophie was a great host. She provided all the info we needed in advance and checked in to see if were settled in. The house was lovely - great location, stylishly decorated and very clean. Lots of nice touches too. There's lots of activities going on in Aldeburgh too, which meant we had a fabulous stay despite the rain! RoseSeptember 2016 The cottage was just a block from the shingle beach and Crag Path, very easy walk to all the town's facilities and a cheerful, gracious, quiet home during our stay. Clean, very well stocked and well appointed, we had all the comforts one could desire. Sophie was so attentive and thoughtful, from the champagne awaiting us on arrival to a note at the end bidding us pleasant journeys. We would definitely come back. Loved Aldeburgh and the Music Festival was world-class. We even had great weather - as in gin and tonics sitting out in the back yard one evening. Richard June 2016 Entire home/apt · 3 beds · 4 guests · Business Travel Ready My place is close to public transport, art and culture, and the city centre.

You’ll love my place because of the people, the ambiance, the outdoors space, the neighbourhood, and the light. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travellers.

Look through the cupboards and drawers and you will find games and some paints to create a masterpiece. I have had Crabbe Cottage for many years and I also own the shop space underneath the cottage. I see it as a home from home for my guests. I live in Woodbridge, about 20 miles inland and I also run a very busy business so although I am available via mobile I may not be able to get to you.

It's a short walk to the beach and hughstreet. Ideal for couples and for small families! On our arrival there was prosecco and restaurant recommendations, overall a fabulous retreat! Would definitely go back. KyleighSeptember 2016 Delightful hideaway conversion on the outskirts of town with easy access to the High Street on one side and yachts and the marshes on the other. Ideal for romantic getaway, but a downstairs bedroom with bunkbeds gives possibilities for young children too. StephenSeptember 2016 Compost Cottage was the perfect hideaway for a couple of days relaxation. Sue has changed part of the garage into this charming cottage with clever features. The spiral staircase, slate worktops and huge bath were my favourites.

The location feels rural, hidden at the bottom of a beautiful garden, while being a short walk to town, tennis courts and the beach. The breakfast and fresh flowers from the garden made me feel very welcome. A great Airbnb find. AlexandraJune 2016 We had a wonderful break in this amazing location. Bordering the marshes and set in a wonderful garden, the cottage is very quiet, spacious for 2 people and generously equipped. Sue (and her family) made us feel very welcome, even though she herself was away the weekend we stayed. If you're looking for something better than the usual impersonal agency holiday home, look no further. ChrisOctober 2016 We had a short but lovely stay at Sue's tastefully converted garage. It was in a picturesque and very peaceful location with all the amenities and comforts we could need OliverJuly 2016 Wonderful find, secluded but short walk into town. Everything you could need, with some lively personal touches. A wonderful oasis of calm, loved it!! TerrySeptember 2016 Sue contacted us a few days before arrival giving us directions which were easy to follow.

Check in and out was so easy and both Sue and her husband made us feel very welcome, without being intrusive. Lovely quiet location but literally a 5 minute walk from Aldeburgh high street. Perfect for both the beach and walks along the marshes. StephanieSeptember 2016 Fantastic cottage in Aldeburgh. It has everything you need for a holiday on the lovely Suffolk coast. Perfect for a couple, or for a family with small children as there was a second bedroom with bunk beds. Just be aware that it doesn't, at the time of writing, have wifi, which we hadn't checked on the listing details. The mobile signal is pretty good for a country location. Aldeburgh is a wonderful part of the Suffolk coast, and I would reccomend Sue's cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing or romantic holiday on the coast or just away from the city. The standalone bath in the huge en-suite is brilliant! The bottle of sparkling wine upon arrival was a lovely gesture as well!

It is so cute & cozy, located right in the middle of everything so we could walk everywhere we needed to go, a perfect fit for our group of five. Everything we could have possibly needed was provided, plus several things we did not expect. We could have used another bathroom, but we managed just fine. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues as bedrooms & bathroom are up some steep stairs. We will certainly request to stay here again if we ever get to return to Aldeburgh. Loved it! AnnJuly 2016 Superb cottage right next to the sea front with lots of little touches that made the stay special. Fantastic! AndrewAugust 2016 My family and I had a fantastic short break away.

It proved to be a lovely break away by the sea. ClareDecember 2016 Barry made us feel most welcome in this pretty cottage on the High Street. He even went out of his way to provide us with a highchair on the day we arrived, despite not being included on booking.

The cottage itself was in a great location within a stone's throw of the beach and all the High Street shops.. there was also a lovely little patio out the back with enough room to have a BBQ dinner each evening. Would certainly come back again. JockJune 2016 We had a great stay at this lovely old cottage. The kitchen had everything we needed and the cottage was clean,comfortable and a stones throw from the beech. Would highly recommend. KobusJune 2016 Ann Page Cottage is a delightful, cosy and homely cottage. Beautifully presented, great location and delicious welcome pack. Barry was a responsive and helpful host, always quick to reply to emails and full of local knowledge. HelenOctober 2016 Well positioned cottage close to the seafront, ideal for a family holiday. We were Grandparents with 3 children and the bedrooms worked well. The outside patio gave you an extra eating room as the weather was so good, in fact we didn't use the dining room once. Lots of pubs and restaurants within walking distance. Southwold for sandy beach and Orford for late afternoon crabbing with early children's supper at the Jolly Sailors.

We liked the stretch of beach between Aldeburgh and Thorpness, still pebbles but a narrow band of sand suitable for castles and moats. We wish we'd brought bikes, excellent opportunities for even more fun. All in all a really good venue. And thank you Barry for our welcome pack on arrival.

The house isn't glitzy or glammy - more a well used family home. We welcome guests with dogs as we have two little ones ourselves. We keep the price down by expecting guests to clean once they have been.

We love the house dearly and hope you will too when you stay. The house isn't a 5 star hotel and if this is what you expect perhaps the house won't be for you. Second & Third stay here and will soon be back. Lovely house with everything we could possibly need. JulianDecember 2016 Lovely base for a short break, we could have stayed much longer. Good communication, easy logistics. Cute cottage with everything you need. mireilleOctober 2016 We had a lovely few days in Miranda's pretty cottage. It is very well equipped, cosy and comfortable.

FionaOctober 2016 Very enjoyable stay. Cottage is in a great location and communication with Miranda was easy and quick. VictoriaOctober 2016 Miranda's cottage was perfect for the two of us.

We hope to be back again soon - thanks! IanOctober 2016 Great location! We were needing a base for the weekend only, so spent very little time in the cottage.

We were three friends on a cycling holiday in Suffolk and Johnny came to our rescue when we needed a place to stay in Aldeburgh. We inquired on the morning of our stay and luckily Johnny was able to help. He was very friendly and helpful throughout. The cottage is delightful. Spacious, comfortable - a real home from home. Well equipped and very clean ... there was a garage for our bikes, lovely hot shower and very comfortable beds. The cottage is set back in a very quiet road about a 15minute walk into town and even closer to the beach. This cottage was great for us but would work really well for families. SamanthaSeptember 2015 We stayed at Salt Cellar Cottage for four days, a great way to discover Suffolk and fall in love with Aldeburgh. Johnny has been a great host, booking was extremely easy and instructions and access to the cottage very simple. The neighborhood was very quiet, but you're also only 3/4 min walk from grocery shopping. Having your own parking space is a great positive as well. Walking to the beach or a lovely High Street is only 10 minute walk, so location is great.

We have truly relaxed like it was our home, and we'll definitely be back when visiting the area again. We decided not to cook this trip but I have to say that been a keen cook the kitchen was surprisingly well equipped if you decide to eat in. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms and kitchen quite new and very clean. aliciaFebruary 2016 We spent a very happy 3 nights at the Salt Cellar Cottage in October. The location of the house is perfect. A short downhill walk to the beach and in a lovely quiet residential area. The house had everything we needed. Booking and communication with Johnny was very easy. Aldeburgh is a fantastic place to visit. We hope to return soon. SuzieOctober 2016 Excellent communication, and Johnny was very flexible about letting us check in early which was great! Fab location for town and beach. Cosy house with some fabulous art work - we particularly liked the heron in the downstairs loo! TeresaOctober 2016 Nice quiet place within easy walk or scoot to the beach and then on into town. Comfortably large for a family of five, homely, well-kept, clean and tidy. Johnny was easy to contact and helpful.

We had a great time. TimApril 2016 We had a wonderful stay in Johnny's cottage and would thoroughly recommend staying here! Johnny made everything very easy, providing me with clear instructions to get to the cottage and to pick up keys etc. The cottage is just as we were hoping - perfectly located in Aldeburgh and with all the amenities we could ask for. Just perfect for a group of friends or a family wanting to visit wonderful Aldeburgh! Thanks for being such a great host Johnny! AlexMay 2016 Immaculate, gorgeous property with everything you could need. Close to the beach but away from the crowds, lovely garden and very comfortable rooms. We had a 3 night stay while working in snape at the festival, this was an ideal base and we'll definitely be back. Johnny is a very welcoming and helpful host, without being intrusive. Would highly recommend! AndrewJune 2016 We loved the cottage which was well equipped, cosy, peaceful & conveniently located. Great garden & wifi. We enjoyed the walk into town along the beach despite the dark evenings - in fact, it meant that we were able to see the night sky peppered with stars.

The children & grandparents in particular made the most of the treasure chest of games! Communication with Johnny was swift and straightforward, as were the arrival arrangements. Would certainly recommend to fellow travellers. RakeshNovember 2015 Entire home/apt · 5 beds · 6 guests This is a lovely light bright airy relaxed place, in the centre of town but close to the beach (oblique sea view from sitting room), the fishing huts, shops, restaurants etc. It is popular with guests who love its quirkiness, appreciate its unique charm, convenient location, light and airy seaside style interior and relaxed, homey feel, comfy beds and great wifi.

Aldeburgh is a town full of interest, nice shops, good pubs and eateries, with wonderful walks and open countryside nearby. See below for things to do. Aldeburgh is full of interesting things to do and here are some: eating and drinking in various places but outstanding is The Lighthouse but also try the Brudenell for a seaside experience.

The town is very nice, full of interesting old buildings and fishermans cottage with good shops and eateries. Continue walking south and onto the sea wall to the Martello Tower or go inland along the river wall. Walk along the beach to 1920's holiday village Thorpeness and have lunch at the Dolphin. Visit the famous bird reserve (where they film SpringWatch) at Minsmere but you need a car to get there. Visit the remains of the lost town of Dunwich and the museum to see how thriving it was in the Middle Ages. And get fish and chips there by the beach car park. In summer go crab fishing in Walberswick in the Southwold direction which my favourite village. Saxmundham station (about 6 miles) has trains to and from London Liverpool street but check availability at weekends as they are improving the line and running buses . Book a taxi to meet the train from Saxmundham to Aldeburgh in advance, I can give you the number of a couple of firms. There are buses around and about too. Myself and 6 of my friends stayed in Seagulls for 3 nights and we had an amazing time.

Laurelie went out of her way to make us feel welcome and gave us numerous recommendations on where to eat and where to go. Seagulls itself is much more spacious than it looks like in the pictures. There are 4 separate bedrooms, each elegantly decorated in seaside colours and style. This property has everything you need and even has its own courtyard! It's located really close to the beach and shops and conveniently far away from a town called Snape which gave us an excuse to go on a 12 mile scenic walk (with a pub break in the middle). On the beach there are several fish huts which Laurelie recommended we visited. Our favourite one was the smoked fish hut located directly in front of the property on the beach, serving very delicious fish (smoked salmon is amazing). Overall, Aldeburgh is a wonderful holiday destination and Seagulls is the ideal place to stay. Hopefully we will get the chance to stay there again in the future!

Fishermen still pull their colourful boats up on the shingle beach and sell fresh fish from the picturesque huts. The wide, mainly Georgian high street has many attractive buildings whilst the seafront properties all have commanding views of the beach and the North Sea. Sailing is popular on the nearby Alde estuary where a large variety of yachts can be seen at summer weekends.

This beautiful period fisherman's cottage is compact in its size but full of charm and character. Please note that as with many cottages built in this era, the steps to the 1st floor are quite steep, care needs to be taken. Please check the photographs before booking. From the moment of booking, we had excellent communication with the hosts. The cottage was absolutely delightful and we were warned that it was small with steep stairs but it was tiny. Tim and Lucy have done really well to fit so much in such a small space and you aren't wanting for anything but if you have difficulty climbing stairs you may have a problem. The location of this cottage is ideal - less than two minutes walk will land you at the pub, the best fish and chip shop in town or the beach. I would recommend.

LauraAugust 2016 The cottage was very cosy, comfortable and clean and the perfect place to spend New Year. The information folder was very useful at giving information about the local area. A really lovely place to stay and we hope to visit again soon. Many Thanks Tim & Lucy. RebeccaJanuary 2016 We had a wonderful two nights at Arwen Cottage. The house was exactly as seen in the photos and was very clean. Checking in and out was extremely simple! Thank you Tim and Lucy! florenceAugust 2016 We had such a lovely stay at Tim and Lucy's gorgeous cottage. It is beautifully equipped and in a perfect location for exploring Aldeburgh. Thank you for a wonderful weekend! RachelAugust 2016 Beware stairs very steep (like ship stairs) Bathroom downstairs and drains got smelly during the warm weather Damp smell in the lounge Very small just a two person place Pub very noisy during day and night until 11pm Clean but needs a deep clean to bring it up to standard. Shower door, blinds and curtains and especially outside area needs cobwebs removing and general tidy up. Front could do with tidy up dead plants at front door and door dirty.

On a positive it was a good location and quite a sweet place just needs to give the customer their monies worth as it is quite expensive to stay and not quite value for money EveSeptember 2016 We had a wonderful couple of days in Aldeburgh staying at Arwen Cottage. The cottage itself is lovely - cosy and spotless and exactly as pictured. Perfect for a family of four. Tim and Lucy were great hosts and all our communication was very swift and efficient. We arranged an early check-in with no hassle at all. While in Suffolk we had a lovely walk to and from Thorpeness, a fab day at the seaside in Southwold and great meals at the White Hart and the pub behind the house (great pizzs!). And fish and chips (obvs). BarbaraJune 2016 The hosts were great. They contacted me several times so we could get the key at our convenience. Was very pleased with the appearance and cleanliness. The place was located between the seashore and the main shopping and eating locations. We really liked the locations as it was convent to everything.

LoisJuly 2016 We had a great 2 night stay at Lucy and Tim's cottage - it is very well equipped and very homely which makes a big difference. I have stayed in some very stark rental cottages and this felt like a home from home. There are a few points I'd like to feedback on - one is that I think this cottage is perfect for a couple but we found with 3 we were very squashed at the dining table and we found that it was easier if one of us ate on the sofa or moved the sofa each meal time. Also on arrival ( a chilly eve) the heating was not on so it took a while for the cottage to feel warm which after a long drive was not great. The fridge was not on either and we would have been grateful the Welcome Pack! That said the cottage is in a wonderful location - really close to both sea and the town, it was quiet, very clean and communication with the owner excellent even though they were abroad. emmyFebruary 2016 Entire home/apt · 3 beds · 4 guests 6 Town Steps is a Georgian property located in the heart of Aldeburgh and just off the high street.
