Pelican Cottage, Aldeburgh

Excellent location. There were only two of us so properly was perfect for us. Great access to the town, beach and restaurants yet quiet at night. Good to have a garden with outdoor seating space. property was lovely and warm, as weather was cold.

Nothing really. We were just one couple so used en suite upstairs.. If there were two couples would have been more tricky as main bathroom was downstairs and stairs very steep. Nothing can do about this though. The bath water was running very slowly so gave up with trying to have a bath

Despite being centrally located in the High Street, it was surprisingly quiet, even on a Saturday night next to the Fish & Chip Shop! And being so central, the shops are super convenient, including the Co-Op which is a minute up the road, and the sea which is 2 minutes. Parking in the street outside was generally possible, and there was always space in the Terrace just behind when more than 2 hours were needed during the day. The cottage is really lovely and just what you'd hope for in a quaint coastal cottage, yet it was very warm and cosy and with every convenience. Having an en-suite bathroom upstairs, and a downstairs bathroom as well suited us perfectly.

You can't lock the door inside without a key. So if someone stays in the house, and someone else goes out, but needs to let themselves back in it's tricky. Although there was a back door key too, so ultimately not really an issue.

The location was excellent

Comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen

Very comfortable and good location.

We were there for two nights. The oven didn’t work which we only discovered on our second night so we had to get a takeaway. The smoke alarm had a fault and was beeping continuously, it didn’t have battery we could remove and despite reporting to the agent nothing was done.
