40 birthday

The weekend stay was excellent. We loved the rooms and where it is situated. The only one down side was the dishwasher didn’t clean properly it left a really horrible feel to the cups etc. not sure if it was over salt or under or no liquid. We were only there a couple of nights and mostly ate out so didn’t spoil fun.

Perfect location

A central location with everything on your doorstep and very quiet at the same time is not a usual combination but it is at Shell Cottage. Lovely clean house and well equipped with everything necessary for our stay. Thank you.

Great Cottage - Great Location

The cottage is well located, well equipped, very comfortably laid-out and quiet. Really close to all you may need. A wonderful place to stay for a family beach holiday.

Great property in a wonderful location, seconds from mIn high street but peaceful

Family of seven spent five days. Can not fault anything in the house at all. Except not enough cereal bowls for seven or eight people...just three! But we coped. House is lovely. Hubby and I had the four poster bedroom and sleep was fab. No noise traveled through from other properties. On beach in three mins. High street 60 seconds.

Shell Cottage

Very well located in the centre of Aldeburgh, we didn't use the car at all as we had good walking weather and there are lots of great pub walks around here. A huge choice of places to eat within very easy walking distance. The teenagers enjoyed Jack Wills and Fat Face!!! The house itself is enormously clean and comfortable with plenty of space for two families, although not sure the downstairs bed would work for two adults. The only criticism is that the sitting area could do with another proper chair, if all 7 of us wanted to sit together someone had to sit in the very uncomfortable hard chair!!! In our quite comprehensive experience of self catering accommodation finding only one thing to criticize is pretty good!!!
