Location & Local Attractions
Aldeburgh is a quiet but popular seaside resort within easy reach of London, the South-East and the Midlands, which has managed to escape brash commercialism in favour of retaining the charm and genteel atmosphere of a bygone age.
A flourishing town, which developed after the prosperous medieval fishing and ship-building centre of Slaughden was destroyed by the sea, it is today best known for the brightly coloured fishing boats which line the shingle beach and the world-renowned Aldeburgh Festival, based at nearby Snape Maltings.
Situated in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Aldeburgh makes an ideal base from which to explore the area. There are many walks, both coast and country, and a number of nature reserves, including Havergate Island and RSPB Minsmere.
There is excellent sailing on the River Alde and golfers are spoilt for choice with excellent courses at Thorpeness and Aldeburgh.

Aldeburgh, Suffolk, IP15 5BU
Excellent friendly hotel and staff
This hotel was excellent with good food and friendly staff. The service was excellent. We had our dog with us and the staff were very accommodating even providing a drinking bowl in our room. Would definitely stay there again.
Short break perfection
A dog friendly hotel perfectly located for strolls along the beach and town. We were very pleased with the room and general accommodation. Breakfast and evening menus sufficient to whet any appetite. Perhaps a better selection of wine by the glass might be considered. It can be expensive so if going again we will look for some off season deals. That said the weather during our stay was perfect.
A very enjoyable stay
We enjoyed our sea view room very much but next time would upgrade to a room with a walk in shower. The staff were all very helpful and the food was delicious. Particularly good were the fish specials. The whole experience was very good value for money and we would certainly book through your company again.
A perfect place to stay in Aldeburgh.
We had a really relaxing stay the weather was perfect and being able to have drinks or dine on your terrace was delightful.
Our only problem was the car parking which needs to be improved but we would readily come again to visit Aldeburgh.
A shortened stay
Unfortunately our stay was curtailed due to an accident with our car but we found all the staff friendly, efficient and helpful, particularly the night "first-aider" and the bedroom girls for quickly fitting my bed with blankets etc (as it happened not used!)
