Self-catering Holiday Cottages in Aldeburgh – A coastal paradise…
Our self-catering accommodation in Aldeburgh features three unique character cottages: Cissy’s Cottage, Laundry Cottage and Queenies. They are all pet friendly and offer the best coastal retreat to Aldeburgh for both yourself, and your doggie.
Aldeburgh is often regarded as Britain’s nicest unspoilt seaside town. The beautiful pebble beach where the fishermen set their huts selling the daily catch is always a good place to get some excellent fresh fish, crabs and lobsters. There are some fantastic places to eat such as The Regatta, The White Hart and my favourite The Lighthouse Restaurant; an international cuisine selling locally sourced food.
There are a range of biking routes available from our accommodation in Aldeburgh to beautiful places such as Tunstall Forest, Orford and Snape; home of the Snape Maltings from which Benjamin Britten founded the Aldeburgh Festival. This festival is held every year in June. See more on the website for the Aldeburgh Music festival website
Our self-catering accommodation in Aldeburgh has some fantastic features such as magnificent antique oak four poster beds, gorgeous wood panelled rooms and antique working kitchen ranges. Because of this – Laundry Cottage in Aldeburgh was featured in the Sunday Times ‘Coolest 100 Cottages’ list.
