Perfect location - right in the middle of Aldeburgh but just off the high street. The room layout was perfect for us (family of 3 plus grandparents). We were toasty warm thanks to the fire and radiators. Great communication from the hosts - we felt well looked after.
Some more sockets upstairs would have been helpful but we appreciate it might be difficult in this property.

Lovely and warm. Kitchen had everything we needed.
The plumbing definitely needs attention! Pipes seem to have an airlock so water could be intermittent and spat out of the taps in morning.
Dripping taps in downstairs en suite need new washers and drove us crazy on first night but it seemed if we ran the shower they eased a bit.

Great central location but quite safe area. Aldburgh is a lovely town
Parking was a bit hit and miss. The cottage was beautiful and comfortable but some of the decor was a bit end of season and some of the cutlery was not clean
7.0 / 10.0
It was a cosy warm little cottage and it was well equipped for all of our needs, and it was very close to local shops, restaurants and the beach, and it provided a very good base to travel around Suffolk on days out. The furnishings and curtains etc. were lovely and of a high quality.
As soon as we arrived in the house on Friday evening i noticed that the two sink water taps (hot and cold) in the basement bedroom ensuite bathroom were very difficult to open and close, and the cold water tap could not be closed off completely and therefore this was wasting water and the taps were very frustrating to use. When they were opened water would spurt out at high pressure very fast and spray water everywhere. I called David at Coastal Cottages and discussed this with him as soon as i could do on Saturday morning, and he said he would try and organise a plumber to visit asap to repair or replace the taps. he did call me back on the Saturday to say that he was struggling to make contact with a plumber but he would keep trying. It appeared that someone had visited the property on the same day (Saturday) but did no work on the water taps and no-one visited again all week either, so we had to put up with using these taps in this condition all week. It says in their information booklet in the cottages to call them immediately if you find any maintenance issues and report it to them. This maintenance issue had also been mentioned by a previous holiday maker staying in the property on the feedback reviews on Boooking.com, so Coastal Cottages most probably were aware of this maintenance issue previously, but had not fixed it. Also, there is a possibility of not getting a parking space on the road at the front of the house. We were fortunate to get a space every day because it is out of the main season, but this could be difficult in the summer months to get a parking space. There is no garden available so it would have been nice to be able sit in the yard at the front when the sun was out, but the bench seating there is completely worn and damaged and unusable, and this needs replacing. The TV is very small, and could be changed to a larger TV in the living toom.

It was very convenient for the main High Street. The parking was quite good. There was always a parking spot outside .
The dishwasher was rusty inside and we thought didn’t wash very good. The taps downstairs needed replacement The shower kept on going hot and cold and could be quite dangerous, if an elderly person was in there Would have been nice to have had a little TLC on the property in places?

Location as described just a short step from the sea. House was fairly basic - could do with some redecoration. Soft furnishings, cushions etc were a big grubby and the taps had to be really tight not to drip, then spurted the water out. It was fine for a few days but I wouldn’t rush back.

The location was fantastic just tucked behind the high street, so in easy reach for most things including the beach. Lovely welcome package from the rental company.
The TV was small and not modern enough.

Location was lovely - tucked away but close to shops and restaurants
It is a cosy little cottage, kitchen had everything we needed
Beds were very comfy.....we all had a good night's sleep
Think there should be a gate in the kitchen at the top of the stairs leading to the lower bedroom. Would be a worry if small children stayed
TV was very small
The sofas are due a clean

Brilliant location - well furnished. Helpful staff
Not needed for our short visit. But a washing machine would be a useful addition. The provider did very helpfully offer to assist with laundry if needed. Not an issue for our short stay.

Cottage & location
Only one point, no shower mat in shower room. As we all showered this was important. They brought more towels when requested so it was sorted
Bathroom could have a hand shower eg to wash your hair.

A great location, just off the High Street and near the beach. A fun little cottage with lovely views across the rooftops from all windows and out to sea from one bedroom.
It was really difficult to have a decent wash. The bath ran a small amount of hot water for ages to allow a tiny puddle bath or the shower had to be run for 5 minutes before you could have a hot one. I had a cold shower as could not get this working. This was not value for money and I left feeling unwashed.

for the money, id expect a little bit of cleaning especially the mould from the down stairs bathroom, also the cups and glasses were sticky and dirty, & investing in a proper tv - just those few things would improve it hugely

It’s quirkiness h
With a toddler, it would have been good to have been advised of a stair gate to the lower floor stairs

The location, could walk into Aldeburgh easily. Quirky property, with three floors but not good if you can’t manage stairs.
The outside, front and back gardens could do with some TLC. No where to sit outside on a hot day which we were lucky to have. Just needs a tidy up with plants and hanging baskets to compliment the lovely cottage. Also table and chairs at the back to have breakfast or lunch.

Great location very short walk to high street and beach. Free parking outside the house Well equipped.
Even with instructions we couldn’t control the central heating it seemed to go on and off at random times. Bedside lamp in smaller bedroom didn’t reach plug socket so couldn’t be used.

Town house over 3 floors, well laid out, light, recently decorated. Very near town, 5 minutes from beach, and with walks around the residential area. 2 bathrooms, well equipped kitchen though small, with dining area.
The basement bedroom was damp so it was difficult to dry towels in the tiny en-suite although there was outside access to a drying line. not enough recycling bins! the houses back onto each other and have decking so there can be a bit of noise at night although this usually stopped by 11pm. no outside space to sit in apart from the front yard (which is a sunny spot)

Location superb. Well equipped - 2 fridges, one for drinks! Beds comfy, slept well, liked white linen and towels.
Staff in office very helpful
Whole house could do with a bit of TLC, damp patches, hand rail on stairs missing, mould in downstairs shower, musty smell, and outside seating area not very appealing. Whole garden/ path needs a tidy up.
TV could be bigger. Curtains should be replaced with blinds- easier to keep clean and dust free. Could do with Shower in upstairs bathroom.

Charming little house, very light and a great location.
The back garden is not really usable because of the difficult levels. Some simple trellis and decent seating would definitely help. The front garden was absolutely fine and an afternoon sun trap.

Aldeburgh has lots of cottages to let and they are small!! We stayed as a couple in April and were comfortable but would have felt very cramped with three children, even in the summer with the sun shining. The cottage is very close to the high street and beach and is quite well presented (good pictures and décor, Neff oven, clean white bed linen and trowels, plenty of hot water).
The outdoor space lets it down however (both of its neighbouring cottages had some outdoor space but you would not want to sit outdoors here) and there are some odd false economies (a VERY small television and a random collection of crockery and glasses)

Key safe
Not enough heaters, originally booked for 4 but due to COVID only 2 went but we had to move the heaters out of the unused bedrooms to stay warm- if my parents in their 80’s had come it would not of been warm enough.
