Sitting pretty surrounded by a sweeping lawn, this home is ideal for family holidays or celebratory getaways to the coast. With outdoor seating for everything from a private moment in the garden to alfresco meals and drinks around the fire pit, it has plenty of space outside and in. Though it only has two bathrooms between six bedrooms, it's comfortable and homely, putting you within walking distance of the high street restaurants and Aldeburgh Beach. Plus, with a games room, adults can keep busy whilst the kids have their run of the garden.

Home truths
Though a car isn't essential, you'll find parking for three cars here should you choose to hire one.
As there are stairs to climb here, it might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
Little ones under the age of three are not allowed in the hot tub and kids between three and twelve must be supervised at all times when outside.
Two medium well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you during your stay, but won't be allowed upstairs or on the furniture.
You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. The nearest supermarket is a five-minute walk away.

Here, the buildings come right up to the beach, so you just need to hop over the coastal wall to reach the sea. The seaside town was once home to Benjamin Britten, and it still retains its creative pull, with the Aldeburgh Festival of Music...
