Seaside Fisherman Cottage Aldeburgh

Immaculate. Cosy and gorgeous

Loved everything

Location great, house small and quirky

Only, very minor issue was we were asked politely to take our sheets off the bid. sounds like a terribly small thing but i think the owners of most places expect to do that as part of the service. this i meant more as a memo to the host and is not meant to be published.

The cottage worked out really well: luckily I bought some tea and coffee and porridge for the next day , but the only thing there was a small circle of soap , but excellent location. Smooth check in despite the host being out. There is a little garden off the kitchen with a table and chairs which was lovely in the day but a bit noisy at night because it backed on to the pub.

The bunk beds in the second room are more suited to younger children or teens or smaller adults , anyone over 6ft will be squished (one of the guests stands 6 feet 5).

Positives - great location between the high street and the beach; spotlessly clean.

Negatives - owner messaged me before the stay saying she would only be preparing one of the rooms, despite me booking the entire cottage. I explained that I was with my aunt and that I would be sleeping in a separate room. The owner then said that the other room would also be prepared, but indicated that one of the bunks would be for the next guest after me. it’s a small thing but doesn’t create a good impression. Neither did the response to my request to check in a couple of hours early (at 2 rather than 4) - owner sent a pre-drafted email requesting additional money to be sent to the owner’s bank account if I wanted to check in early. Again, a small thing but not a great impression.
