“Lovely cottage very well equipped with everything you need.”

“We have nothing to add which is different to other guest reviews - it is centrally located, we liked it was set back from the High Street, it is well equipped, like a home from home and it was a lovely cottage.”

We loved the velum window so we could hear the ocean (and seagulls) and we certainly felt that we deserved some great food from the very good dining options, after going up and down the stairs!

- Jane, September 2024

Dear Jane, thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. Kind Regards, Ian and Fiona Property Owner

“This is literally home from home!”

It had absolutely everything that we needed. And on top of this, this was an extremely cosy pad to spend a few days in. The extra bonus was the position of this property. We enjoyed walking down to the shops without having needed to take the car. Would love to return. Thank you for the wine and biscuits, which we appreciated.

Dear Naomi, thank you very much for your lovely review. We do hope you will return at some point. Regards Ian and Fiona Property Owner
Howard July 2024

“Really lovely cottage, well laid out.”

Tasteful and well appointed with top quality equipment and comfy beds. Everything you could possibly need. Friendly and helpful owner, and also housekeeper. Good communication. Great central location on a quiet street just off the High Street. No problem parking. Nice to look over the rooftops and see the sea from the top floor. We've just come back from a super fortnight and didn't want to leave. Usually feel a little homesick by the end, but not here!

- Howard, July 2024

Dear Howard, thank you for your review. We are very pleased you had a great stay. Thank you for your kind words. Ian & Fiona Property Owner

“Cottage comfy, clean and bright.”

Very well equipped kitchen which leads out to sheltered decking area. Cottage in great location for high street and beach and we didn't have a problem parking. Owner welcoming and easy to communicate with. We would recommend a stay here!

“This was a wonderful cottage which had everything we needed.”

The host was proactive with communication and ensured that our stay was a memorable one. The location of the cottage is excellent and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone wishing to stay in the Aldeburgh area.

“The cottage is in an ideal location just round the corner from the High Street and beach, but is tucked away on a quiet road.”

We loved being able to walk everywhere and to be so close to the sea. The sound of the waves and the sea views from our bedroom were so relaxing. The cottage was immaculately clean and was so cosy, well planned and welcoming. We’ve returned home with lots of very happy memories from our stay at 6 Coastguard Cottages.

“We had an enjoyable stay.”

It was comfortable, clean and convenient for the high street and beach. There are three flights of quite steep stairs between the kitchen and master bedroom that may be a challenge for those with mobility issues.

“Dishwasher was patchy.”

Salt and rinse aid were ok. No dishwasher cleaner. So we washed by hand a lot. Not a big issue Low on places to hang wet washing as there is no tumble dryer. Don’t get me wrong not a complaint - observation. Lovely property had a great time

- Alan, October 2023

So sorry to hear about the dishwasher. We really care about our cottage and that our guests have a lovely holiday and we are always on hand to help. As mentioned in our welcome text we are happy to be contacted if there are any questions or issues. We would have loved the opportunity to get the dishwasher fixed for you during your stay. We have now requested a local company to either repair or replace the dishwasher. Whilst we supply a clothes horse we accept that it is difficult to dry a lot of wet items during the colder months, I hope this wasn't too much of a problem. Thank you for your feedback, it really helps. Property Owner

“The fridge is on the small size given that the property can accommodate up to six people.”

Jane December 2022

“Great house, fantastic location.”

Well decorated, good facilities. All the shops and restaurants are just around the corner, a 2 minute walk at most, but because the house is set back it is very quiet and peaceful. close to the beach, parking wasn't a problem, although I imagine in summer there is a bit more competition for that. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend booking this property.

The property

The cottage is on four floors and the feel throughout is of a boutique hotel, with sleek bathrooms, neutral colour schemes and well-designed spaces. There is WiFi access at this property and the cottage is pet friendly. Ground Floor The front door leads into light and airy living/dining room with two chocolate brown leather sofas to seat four, plus two wicker chairs with cushions. Oak floorboards and a wood-burning stove ensure that the cottage is both warm and cosy in the wintertime yet cool in the summer. With windows at both ends of the room, it catches the coastal morning and evening sun. We think we can picture you relaxing here with a glass of wine in front of the fire, listening to your favourite music on the Bose wireless speaker. At the other end of the living space is an oak dining table and seating for six. Stairs from the living space lead up to the 1st and 2nd-floor bedrooms and bathrooms and down to the kitchen. Lower Ground Floor The fitted kitchen has a range of units that include an integrated oven, slimline dishwasher, microwave, fridge, washing machine, wine cooler and Nespresso Coffee machine. A dining table comfortably accommodates four people (this is in addition to the dining table on the ground floor which seats six), with a small TV above it. Next to the kitchen is a cloakroom with w.c. and sink. Patio doors lead from the kitchen to the rear garden which is decked with outdoor seating. Steps lead down to a small enclosed pebble patio with access to an alleyway that leads directly to Aldeburgh's popular High Street, and the beach beyond. 1st Floor Bedroom One A lovely room with a double bed, stripy cushions, white painted floorboards, bedside tables, fitted wardrobe and roman blind. Bedroom Two This is a small bedroom with bunk beds (full-size singles) and cheery bunting on the wall, so it is particularly suited to children. There's a chest of drawers and clothes hanging space. Family Bathroom This stunning modern bathroom has a bath with a shower over it, WC, hand basin and heated towel rail. Narrow stairs from the 1st-floor hallway lead to the second floor: Bedroom Three with En-Suite The master bedroom has a bespoke king-size bed, oak floorboards, sloping ceilings and benefits from a glorious view over the rooftops of the sea through one of the two Velux windows. There is an iPod docking station and a small but beautifully designed en-suite shower room (shower, w.c., small hand basin). Outside There are small patio gardens to the front and rear of the property, ideally positioned to catch the morning and afternoon/evening sun. The front garden has wooden benches and a flower bed and at the rear the garden is a split level decking/pebble area with patio furniture and BBQ. There is a small outside storeroom with room to store small bikes. On-road parking is usually available on The Terrace. With this said, parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis on nearby roads.

About the location

ALDEBURGH

Thorpeness 2.1 miles; Saxmundham 7.2 miles.

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. For those wishing for a more action-packed holiday there is excellent walking, cycling, sailing and golf at Aldeburgh. Growing in popularity you will want to return to Aldeburgh again and again!
