A former fisherman’s cottage in the heart of Aldeburgh, this colourful home makes for a memorable stay on the Suffolk coast. Inside, white walls provide a perfect backdrop for punchy pops of colour – we loved the bold nautical-inspired prints and the plush blue rug. Begin your morning kicking back with a coffee on the sofa before rustling up a cooked breakfast in the modern kitchen. Watch the world pass by from the bistro set on the dinky patio, then slap on your suncream and gently stroll along the High Street. Earmark a seafood restaurant for later and browse the independent shops. Spend the afternoon strolling along the beach, stopping now and again to paddle in the cool North Sea. If you’d like to explore a little further afield, set out on the 6.5 mile Aldeburgh and Thorpeness circular walk or catch a performance at the Snape Maltings, a fifteen-minute drive away.

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...
