The popular, vibrant seaside town of Aldeburgh is famous for its culture, traditional feel and one of the best fish and chip shops in the country! Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings are home to one of the world’s greatest music festivals and has been named as one of the top 50 places to live in Britain. Crag Path runs along the seafront dividing the beautiful pebbly beach from the unspoilt pastel-coloured seafront properties and the town. The beach is a popular place for groups and couples to enjoy the wonderful fish and chips throughout the summer months. The town is steeped in history and has become a wonderful town for shopping with a good mixture of independent and chain stores to enjoy. The town also offers a good selection of pubs and restaurants or why not buy some freshly caught fish from the huts on the seafront and cook up your own feast at home.

Nick
It is very comfortable for two people and in a prime location in the town and very close to the sea. The lack of private parking was not an issue for us in October, as we always found public parking on the street, either across the road, or on the seafront a minute's walk round a corner. It might be more difficult in high season. Only one slight annoyance. The freezer is hidden away in the bottom of a cupboard and not surprisingly has a stiff door, so we were concerned about opening it not knowing what it was. Not a problem once we eventually were told it is a freezer, but it would be good to mention it in the instructions. We would prefer to deal with a local office, not a problem during our stay, but there didn't appear to be an out of hours emergency number. We did wonder how quickly there would have been someone on site in an emergency. Overall a lovely stay.

Cragside fitted the bill perfectly, beautiful, clean, and excellent location. We would have liked a little outdoor area to sit but understand why that wasnât possible. Great use of space though!
