Oriel Cottage is a pretty pink 18th Century fisherman’s holiday home ideally located in the middle of Aldeburgh High Street with all its shops, restaurants and pubs and also has a "tunnel" at the back giving you direct access to the beach. Oriel Cottage comfortably accommodates 6 guests and is pet-friendly, so your pet won’t miss out. One well-behaved dog welcome.
You step into the light and airy living room with 2 large sofas, a pouffe and a dining table and chairs that seats 8. There is also a wood burner, to snuggle up in front of, on those chilly winter nights. There is a Smart TV with Freeview channels, a NOW TV stick and a DVD player and a large selection of books, DVDs and games for you to enjoy during your stay.
This leads into the fully-equipped compact kitchen with a free standing electric hob with oven, 2 fridges and a small freezer, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, kettle and toaster. A door leads out to the small yard where there is a table and a couple of chairs so you can sit and enjoy your breakfast, as this is a sun-trap in the mornings.
Also on the ground floor is a shower room with a walk in shower cubicle, WC, sink and heated towel rail.
On the first floor there are 2 bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Bedroom 1 has a king size bed, bedside tables, fitted wardrobes, a chair and a vanity seat and mirror. Bay windows look out over the High Street.
Bedroom 2 has a double bed (but can be made as twins if requested), bedside tables and a large wardrobe.
The bathroom is light and airy with a large roll-top bath with mixer taps in the centre, WC, sink and heated towel rail.
Bedroom 3 is in the attic space with twin beds. The large velux window on the attic stairs makes this a lovely light and airy space. The stairs up to the attic room are quite steep and narrow, so may not be suitable for very young or elderly guests. There is a TV in the room so makes a great snug for the kids to escape to.
Oriel Cottage is perfectly located in the middle of the High Street, yet set back off the pavement by railings giving you privacy from the hustle and bustle of people visiting this popular town. Aldeburgh is a historic town by the beach with lots going on and plenty to do; restaurants with great food, shops, a cinema, music, culture, sailing club, golf and tennis, as well as local walks and relaxing on the beach.

About the area
Aldeburgh, located on the unspoiled East Suffolk coast of England, is a charming seaside town that offers a tranquil escape with its pebble beaches, rich cultural heritage, and picturesque landscapes. Known for its connection to composer Benjamin Britten, Aldeburgh is a haven for music lovers, hosting the annual Aldeburgh Festival, which celebrates classical music with performances in various venues, including the famous Snape Maltings Concert Hall.
The town's main street is lined with independent shops, galleries, and eateries, offering visitors a taste of local life and the opportunity to find unique souvenirs. Aldeburgh's culinary scene is particularly renowned for its fresh seafood, with the Aldeburgh Fish and Chip Shop claiming to be one of the best in the UK.
For those interested in history, the Moot Hall Museum, housed in a remarkable timber-framed building, provides insights into Aldeburgh's past as a Tudor port and its evolution over the centuries. The nearby Aldeburgh Martello Tower, one of several defensive forts built along the British coast during the Napoleonic Wars, is another historical landmark worth visiting.
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the close proximity to the RSPB Minsmere, a nature reserve with diverse habitats that attract a wide variety of bird species, making it a prime spot for birdwatching. The Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty also offers stunning landscapes for walking, cycling, and photography.
Aldeburgh's beach is a focal point for relaxation and contemplation, with the iconic Scallop sculpture by Maggi Hambling standing as a tribute to Benjamin Britten and a symbol of the town's artistic spirit. The beachfront promenade is perfect for leisurely strolls, with the soothing sounds of the waves and the refreshing sea breeze.
For a touch of drama, the Aldeburgh Cinema, which has been screening films since 1919, provides an intimate setting to enjoy both mainstream and independent movies. The town also hosts a number of other cultural events throughout the year, including literary festivals and art exhibitions.
