Fantastic location and beautiful cottage.

Beautiful cottage in a great location. Felt at home straight away with all the amenities and more that you could want. Fantastic location, a stone's throw from the beach. Everything provided was tasteful and of a high spec/standard. Would definitely recommend to others to stay. Lucy was easy to contact and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended. Fab host.

It was such a pleasant experience having Judith as a guest. She was a lovely person to make arrangements with and took excellent care of the cottage. We hope she had a wonderful Aldeburgh escape. Thank you Judith.

A stone's throw from the beach.Highly recommended!

What an amazing place! We felt at home from the moment we walked through the door. Arwen cottage is a delightful fisherman's cottage, well located, 5 seconds from the beach, and has everything you can think of taken care of. Such a great location for exploring Aldeburgh and beyond. And all the lovely little touches in the cottage - from the welcome pack to the beautiful furnishings and super comfy beds, we didn't want to leave. Lucy was incredibly helpful during the booking process and when we asked for any tips. We will definitely be back.

Andy gave thoughtful messages when he had arrived and departed and sent a lovely thank you message following his stay. The cottage was cared for beautifully. We would love to have Andy to stay anytime and can highly recommend him as a fantastic guest. Thank you Andy.

Walking distance to the beach! We loved it!

Enjoyed a lovely weekend in Aldeburgh at Arwen cottage. The cottage is very close to the seafront (5 seconds walk) and within easy walking distance of all Aldeburgh has to offer. Stylishly decorated and perfectly set up for two adults and two children. It would be remiss of me to fail to mention the close proximity to the UK's best fish'n'chip shop. A perfect base for a weekend break. Highly recommended. It used to be a fisherman's cottage so it has plenty of character! Lucy was a perfect host and recommended some great local places to visit and eat at.

Great little place in Aldeburgh! The hosts were very communicative and helpful. The cottage is just as described - small but cozy and very fitting for the area. Aldeburgh is a lovely part of the world that everyone should visit.

Beautifully well presented snug cottage

This was a beautifully clean, organised and well presented, snug cottage on a quiet back road very close to the beach and to the High Street shops. We found parking outside even though it was a hot summer Saturday and the area was busy with visitors. The stairs are very steep so are either fun or a little bit of a trial depending on your age bracket! It does back onto a pub outside seating area which was busy with people enjoying drinks outside when we arrived. But the pub closes at 11pm and we were out for the evening of our overnight stay so it was no problem for us. Overall, a great stay in a really thoughtfully put together cottage . Lucy was great at communication. Full marks from us.

The perfect cosy cottage!!

We had a lovely break at Arwen Cottage - it was a shame we couldn’t stay longer as we settled in so quickly and relaxed - just what we needed!! It is such a cosy cottage, and perfectly located for a weekend of walks and shopping and café visiting!! The cottage had everything we could possibly need (and more!) and was so well equipped, and we wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you Tim and Lucy!

Wonderful cozy seaside escspe

Despite being a family with 2 young children, 7 and 4, we found Arwen Cottage to meet all our needs. As per the description, it is very small, yet cozy, but we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location couldn't be better, a minute from the high street, and a minute from the beach. We were a little worried about backing onto a busy pub garden, but need not have had any concern as all noise was pretty much finished by 10.30, and definitely didn't keep our children awake at night. We arrived during carnival day, which was a challenge to get to the cottage, but then we reaped the benefits of being able to join in the amazing evening lantern parade and fireworks. Lucy was very responsive to a couple of minor issues we brought to her attention, and we would definitely look to rent from her and Tim again.

Short stay in Aldburgh

Had a really great couple of days in Aldeburgh. Arwen cottage was nice. Clean , tidy and a good location. Just a couple of things and it would be even better . The lounge was a bit cramped feel smaller sofas may help and it was not easy to sit at the table. Although I realised the stairs were steep and winding from the photographs hadn't appreciated how steep they were ! Feel this should be emphasised more on the details for people who may find them difficult. Also a bath mat would be nice as not easy stepping out of the bath on to a tiled floor when wet. Thanks for a great stay though.

Carolyn and her partner were an absolute delight to host. Arwen cottage was looked after beautifully and left incredibly tidy and clean. Unfortunately our change-over agents did not leave a bath mat but the client did not let us know of any problems during their two night stays. Our listing clearly states Arwen cottage has steep stairs and advises guests to view pictures before booking. Thank you for your kind comments and feedback Carolyn. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Arwen cottage. Best wishes Tim and Lucy

Wonderful Stay! Romantic Bolthole - Near the Sea!

Lucy and Tim are incredible hosts and welcomed us with open arms. We had a wonderful stay here and didn't want to leave. We had cake, bread and milk left for us which was very welcome.They ensured that our stay was comfortable and for everything to help us find lifts to and from the Snape concert hall. I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting to relax or work! It is simply fantastic! Can't fault or think of anything to improve!

Perfect location for a family holiday

A charming small cottage for a small family. A great location to be in and amongst Aldeburgh town and close to the beach. I suggest you bring a hard copy of how to access the property, as the town does not have great mobile phone signal. The owners were easily contactable and helpful.

Lovely cottage in central location

I booked Arwen cottage for a 3 day break for myself and 2 friends. We found the cottage to be clean and cosy and ideally located for Aldeburgh high street and the beach. We had a wonderful stay and the old fisherman's cottage was equipped with everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed sitting outside in the courtyard with a glass of wine!

Lovely Cottage in fantastic location

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Arwen Cottage, its at a great location just set back from the beach and Main street. Providing many options for activities and meals. House was clean and had all necessary household accessories, it was like staying at our own place. Would definitely refer to friends and happily stay again.

Very quaint cottage

The cottage is a quaint cozy cottage close to the beach and all amenities. The cottage is small and not ideal for toddlers as it has a very steep staircase. Ideal for a couple. We had our 2year old granddaughter and the staircase was an issue. The cottage is equipment with all amenities. Parking is very limited. There is a pay and display car park 3 min walk and you can park on the high street for unlimited between 6pm & 9am. Alround it is a well looked after property and we would visit again only as a couple.

Many thanks for the review. We would love to host you again in the near future. The description states that our cottage is not suitable for children under 4 years old and that the cottage has steep stairs as per the pictures.
