Nestled on the very edge of a bustling high street, just moments from the sandy shoreline and colourful Victorian promenade at the heart of Aldeburgh, this traditional seaside bolthole is the ultimate romantic coastal retreat for couples to uncover why the Suffolk coastline is so irresistible.
No better remedy for soothing weary walking muscles is the light and bright open-plan lounge/diner, complete with a peaceful neutral colour palette, which beckons you to take the weight off on the comfy sofa, catch your favourite programme on the TV and dine romantically long into the evening seated around the rustic dining table. Grab your wonderful local produce and head into the contemporary shaker-style kitchen to rustle up a delicious feast to refuel after the day’s big adventure. When you can’t resist the call of bedtime, indulge in a long soak in the bath in the family bathroom before retiring to the beautifully presented bedroom, which features the same neutral colour palette as the rest of the apartment that’ll send you into a peaceful doze before tomorrow’s adventure discovering the fabulous coastline on your doorstep.
Grown from an old fishing and shipbuilding centre, admire the sights of bobbing fishing boats and fishermen selling the daily catch from the colourful huts at the charming seaside town of Aldeburgh. Spend a summer’s day strolling along the quaint promenade lined with pastel-coloured 19th-century villas before skimming stones out to sea at Aldeburgh Beach less than half a mile away. Enjoy breathtaking views seawards and inland following the river towards Orford (12 miles) whilst you explore the Georgian high street full of independent boutiques, cafes and restaurants. Housed in the iconic Moot Hall, a 16th-century Grade I-listed timber-framed building, head to Aldeburgh Museum half a mile away to learn about the rich history of the local area.
