    Perfect location - private and quiet but within easy walking distance of everything beautiful Aldeburgh has to offer. Our small chihuahua lovely the enclosed garden. We all felt very at home and relaxed in this lovely home.

  • Deborah

    Cosy, comfortable and everything well thought out at Sea Thrift. More importantly, dog friendly. We’ve stayed in Aldeburgh many times, but now we have found this lovely cottage we won’t be looking anywhere else, when we return. Thank you.
