“Thank you for a lovely relaxing week in your delightful cottage. The location is fantastic, and we’ve made good use of the Two Magpies Bakery, Smoke House, and Fish & Chip Shop on our doorstep, to name just a few amenities we enjoyed!
I was working part time whilst here and the second bedroom made a great office. Highly recommend buying fresh fish from one of the huts on the beach – we enjoyed several fresh fish dinners. Also Aldeburgh cinema was great!”
