Located in the pretty seaside town of Aldeburgh – just two minutes from the pebbled beach – this charming cottage is a holidaymaker's dream. Beautifully finished with comfortable furnishings and tasteful boho-style touches, the homely abode has everything you need for a memorable getaway. Fall in love from the moment you walk through the front door. The living room centres around an elegant cast-iron fireplace, inviting you to curl up and escape from gusty coastal winds. A geometric woven rug adds an artisan flair, while the otherwise neutral colour scheme creates a calming ambience. Outside, you'll find a private courtyard space where you can enjoy light breakfasts with the sun overhead. If you've cooked up a feast for the group, serve it at the brightly-lit dining table adjoining the gallery kitchen. Reward your culinary prowess with a bubble bath in the upstairs tub. Didn't we tell you? This place has just about everything.

Local guide
About Aldeburgh
When the sun sets on Aldeburgh, the pastel-coloured houses that line the shore seem to glow and the pebbled beach takes on a rainbow hue. 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...
