“Lovely little cottage with excellent furnishings.”
Very comfortable beds and chairs. Decor very pleasing. Stairs were very narrow and steep but we managed to negotiate them with not too much trouble. Marked down slightly on the facilities as a workman was fixing the water cistern on the only toilet in the house when we arrived. I think it will need proper attention soon. The property is central to the town and has many places to eat and drink and the beach is close by, all within walking distance. A very relaxing and pleasant stay.
Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your holiday at 6 Town Steps!
As an old seaside cottage, the stairs can be steep for some people to navigate, but we have had them painted with extra-grip paint to help make them that bit more comfortable to use.
Our apologies that the workman was still there upon your arrival. We do endeavour to ensure that all works are completed prior to guests arrival, but unfortunately in this instance, with the tight change-over and need to source a new part he did run over slightly.
Aldeburgh is a wonderful town to visit, and with 6 Town Steps moments from the heart of it all, and the beach, it is a great property for a cosy break away.
Kind Regards
Best of Suffolk

The property
An adorable little cottage which could not be more picture-perfect! Ideal for a family with one child or a couple looking to experience and enjoy a traditional Suffolk coastal cottage. Tucked away in an enviable location, just off Aldeburgh's High Street and a only a few minutes walk to the beach. Even better, you can bring the dog! With so many gorgeous walks from your door as well as the beach, its a holiday for your four-legged friend too.
Inside on the ground floor you'll find a living room with a lovely open fire, a kitchen/dining room with a bespoke handmade kitchen and a door leading out to a south-facing patio with a table and chairs. Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms (1 king, 1 single) and a bathroom. This Aldeburgh holiday let is painted in Farrow & Ball paints and great attention has been given to preserve the historic details of this period cottage whilst providing modern-day comforts to help ensure you have a wonderful break.

Kitchen/Dining Room
The light and airy kitchen-dining room has a beautiful hand-made kitchen with a Belfast sink and Smeg range cooker and a table and chairs to seat four people. A door from the kitchen leads straight out to the south-facing patio where there's an outside small table and chairs for outdoor dining on sunny days.

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!
