Cosy quirky cottage near beach
Pros: This property is ideally situated near the centre of Aldeburgh, and not far from the beach. It is clean, warm, comfortable and has all the equipment we needed. We loved the quirky traditional staircase. Free parking on street outside, and we managed to get a place every day - though this might have been more difficult in summer.
Cons: 1) Very minor point; some holiday cottages have welcome packs, this one doesn't. So need to bring everything edible apart from salt and a few spices. There is a well stocked Coop down the High Street that is open late, so it would have been helpful to remind clients to either bring all foodstuffs/drinks with you or expect to do a shop on arrival. 2) Bins! The emailed instructions ask one to put bins out on Sunday night for Monday emptying. The written instructions in the cottage say this is not necessary. We found a large collection of bins down the alley but, despite what we were told, it was impossible to say which belonged to 277. Please could this be rectified? 3) We loved the steep traditional cottage staircase. There was plenty of warning on the cottage details this made it unsuitable for those with limited mobility - especially as there are no toilet facilities upstairs (which perhaps should also have been mentioned).

A very enjoyable stay, so relaxing and highly recommend.
Pros: Clean, fresh, pretty, welcoming and comfortable. Lovely and quiet but it was January!
Cons: Not a dislike but stairs are very steep so not suitable for elderly or anyone who has difficulty with steep stairs. For small children’s safety there would need to be a stair gate.

Pros: Location great, cottage lovely, tastefully decorated.
Cons: Could have been more welcoming. There are too many instructions and jobs to do and how we'd be fined if we didn't take glass with us. Also, we are asked to take the rubbish out, but there were no pedal bin liners to replace the one we used. Could be a bit softer with approach.

Wonderfully relaxing
Pros: Lovely cottage, very comfortable with everything we needed. Good location in Aldeburgh and definitely plan to come back.
Cons: Stairs a little steep, but as expected for a property of this period. Not a problem though, good exercise and kept us on our toes!

Cute cottage in the perfect location
Pros: Amazing location in gorgeous Aldeburgh just minutes from both the seafront and the shops. Excellent facilities and beautifully laid out. Also, when we had an issue with the TV, the owners sent round a handyman who arrived within 15 minutes and fixed it for us. Excellent service and hospitality :)

Cosy Cottage
Pros: Located at the quieter end of the High Street the cottage was perfect for a weekend getaway but close enough to be able to pop back if needed. Very cosy and clean with hot water which is always a bonus. The open fire was an added treat especially as the weather was still chilly. We enjoyed Aldeburgh and would definitely plan another visit.
Cons: The only thing that stopped us giving our stay a 10/10 was the bed, comfortable to sleep in but so squeaky everytime you turned over so sadly interrupted sleep. Had we have stayed longer we would have tried the smaller double room. This minor detail would not stop us returning.
