“Winkle cottage is the perfect place to stay in Aldeburgh.”
It’s a lovely, cosy cottage close to the beach and in a quiet part of the town. It also has a great yard/patio for eating outside when the weather is fine.
Thank you for your kind review! We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your latest stay. We do agree about the yard/patio! It is such a sun trap when the weather is fine. We 're looking forward to welcoming you back once more next year and thank you, again, for your review.

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!
