Seaside Luxury House on the Suffolk Coast

We are Tim and Lucy and we live on the stunning Suffolk Heritage Coast with our son Jack and our daughter Emily. We have been successfully letting our cottages: Arwen cottage in Aldeburgh, Thimble cottage in Southwold, Albion House and Stable cottage in Saxmundham via our companies Aldeburgh Seaside Cottages and Southwold Seaside Cottages. Our properties are self-catering and advertise on VrBo. We are thrilled to have met such interesting people and received such lovely feedback for it.

Tim was born and bred in beautiful Suffolk and I was born in Lima-Peru and brought up in Milan-Italy. I speak Spanish, Italian, French, German and English. As my husband’s family is from Suffolk we have strong ties with this beautiful part of the world. Having travelled extensively we have been inspired by the good things we have come across in properties we have stayed in. As you can tell, we are passionate about providing somewhere special that our guests will love, enjoy and return to.

We feel incredibly lucky to be able to live in this part of the world and are loving sharing our cottages with some amazing people from the VrBo community. If we had a motto to live by it would have to be Maya Angelou's: “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour and some style...”

A gorgeous haven for couples, families, ideal for larger groups or group family holidays. It is a wonderful holiday base throughout the year, with coast, countryside, culture & food on the doorstep. Days at the beach, sailing, horse-riding, fishing, birdwatching, relaxing galore!

This lovely elegant Georgian property is in the heart of Saxmundham on Albion street, 500 yards from the high street and all the amenities. Albion House is a lovely home, full of character and exceptionally comfortable, clean and well-equipped, including the use of unlimited Wi-Fi and super fast broadband.

Albion House is close to an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, characterful pubs, excellent art galleries and a museum. The house is also a few paces from a very good fish and chip shop on the high street.

There are excellent restaurants just a couple of minutes walk away - The Bell, the Crown Inn are all excellent as well as several others. As you drive away 10 minutes from the house you will find Aldeburgh's promenade and beach in one direction, and the high street just yards away the other way. Despite the perfect location, the house is delightfully peaceful.

There is also public parking just outside the house.

The house has been re-furbished in a light but luxurious style and has been brought into the 21st century, with contemporary kitchen and bathroom and very comfy furnishings.
