“Generally the property was really nice and in a great location just off the High Street.”
We had a few issues, with the heating not working and the dishwasher breaking. The main being the heating; however I cannot fault how quickly Best of Suffolk jumped on this and got it resolved for us. The property owners were also very apologetic which we appreciated.
Thank you for your feedback. It is great to hear that you enjoyed your holiday at Skimming Stones and its prime location between Aldeburgh High Street and the beach.
Our apologies for the issues that occurred, but we are pleased that our team are always on hand to deal with these things swiftly and effectively.
We hope to welcome you back to Skimming Stones and Best of Suffolk again in the future.

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!
