Excellent. Although no listed parking, parked on coast front, a minutes walk and no issues leaving car overnight. Ideally located within Aldeburgh

Philip
Spacious. Overall the property was very well supplied with everything you needed. However the cutlery and oven utensils were old, tired and of mixed origins.

The only comment we would make is that there are not enough teaspoons, and also some larger tumblers for cold drinks. There is a damp smell in the downstairs toilet.
