  • "Perfect, quiet location, close to the beach and main shopping street in Aldeburgh."

    The cottage is well maintained and equipped, and the beds and furnishings are very comfortable. The small courtyard garden is private and sheltered for sitting and eating outside. We enjoyed our time at Crabbe Cottage so much that we extended our stay!

    Thank you so much for such positive feedback Milton. I am just so happy that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "Been visiting Crabbe annually for the past 6/7 years with friends."

    Only comment we had was that kettle/toaster etc cramped in corner - thought arched area opposite would make a great “beverage area”. There are already plugs there and mugs etc could go in cupboard beneath and glasses where mugs are currently. Just a thought!

    Thank you Deborah. I appreciate any ideas to do things differently. Much appreciated. Will have a look when next there. Property Owner

    The weather was warm leading to lovely walks along the coast and essential retail therapy at Snape Maltings. Hope to stay again. Meant to say the roses in the garden smelt delightful.

  • "This is our 4th visit to crabble corner."

    We love spending Christmas in Aldeburgh. Unfortunately the cleanliness was much to be desired this time! The kitchen floor needed washing, Cobwebs in corners Stains on the carpet and ripped. Carpet looks really grubby. Upstairs bathroom door Handel area really grubby. Stains on window seat cushion. Upstairs bathroom shower needs updating No manual to use the heating But we still had a lovely time,

    Dear Caroline. First, thank you for giving feedback. Without it, we wouldn't necessarily know about an issue arising. Clearly we are disappointed to hear about the cleanliness issues. We visited ourselves just this week and the place was spotless, and I know how diligent the cleaners normally are (and they so enjoy your Christmas visit as it gives them an excuse to put up Christmas decorations), but that doesn't change the fact that you had a bad experience, and we apologise profusely. I have already been in contact with the cleaners, and they are mortified by the feedback. The carpet in the hall and stairs does need replacing in the near future and we plan to do so. Despite the points raise, we are just so happy that you had a Happy Christmas at Crabbe Corner. Property Owner

    One thing - shower in upstairs bathroom is either freezing or scolding so can’t be used. Oh, not a fault of property but worse curry takeaway I’ve ever had! Hope and expect it stay here again.

    Friends & family visiting me during the 2 weeks — they all thought that Crabbe Corner was so comfortable & a real "lived in" home. On the whole amazing weather for end of October with lots of walks. Thank you so much, I hope to come again.

  • "We enjoyed the stay, the house was nice but needs updating."

    Only moan is the upstairs shower was very difficult to get right it either ran very hot or cold and not very powerful. The rest was fine.

    Thank you for your message and your feedback Peter. I am so happy that you enjoyed your stay. Apologies that you were having issues with upstairs shower. The controls are quite sensitive, and I have subsequently checked, but once you find the right setting, the trick is not to tamper. It does work well, albeit the water pressure upstairs is not as high as I would like. The downstairs bathroom water pressure is better. I am planning to update both bathrooms in the next couple of years. Property Owner

  • "Lovely situation."

    As disabled badge holder it was great to find a disabled parking space out the front. Although quite a lot of stairs these were manageable.I would stay here again. Asking the impossible I guess, it would be even better if there was a separate shower. Aldeburgh is a lovely place. I would stay here again

    Thank you so much for sparing time to give feedback. We agree, having disabled parking at the bottom of the garden is really helpful. We also agree with your view that a separate shower would be useful. We are planning a few upgrades for the end of 2024 and having a walk in shower in one of the bathrooms is high on the list. We are so happy that you enjoyed your visit and look forward to seeing you again. Any other helpful suggestions are warmly received. Property Owner

The property

Boasting a captivating coastal theme throughout, Crabbe Corner in Aldeburgh, Suffolk offers beautifully presented accommodation and is just a few minutes from the beach.

Ideal for a family or couples travelling together, Crabbe Corner offers guests a stylish home-from-home.

The welcoming sitting room invites visitors in with a large seating area and has fantastic views over the courtyard at the rear and the sea beyond with an attractive real-flame effect fire creating a superb focal point to the room and helping to take the chill off during the cooler months.

The kitchen is beautifully appointed and is all set up ready for entertaining with an extending table and extra chairs available for any unexpected guests!

There is everything needed (and more – there’s even a G&T station!) to create fantastic food for your party so you can look forward to many happy evenings spent here.

If it’s a warm, summer’s evening then you can enjoy time alfresco in the enclosed courtyard garden which is safe and secure for the kids and any pets.

At bedtime, take your pick from a king-size or ground-floor twin; both are stylishly presented and offer a relaxing oasis of calm after a tiring day of getting out and about exploring.

After a quick, refreshing shower in the morning or even a relaxing soak in the bath, grab a coffee in the courtyard and plan the day’s activities.

Attractions worth getting in the car for include Snape Maltings, home to the famous Aldeburgh Music Festival, RSPB Minsmere, Easton Farm Park, Go Ape Thetford, Framlingham Castle and Africa Alive Zoological Reserve.

If you want to stay local then take a stroll into Aldeburgh which has some great shops, pubs, bars, boutiques, galleries and restaurants as well as a pebble beach, tennis courts and two popular golf courses as well as birdwatching boat trips along the river Alde.

A scenic walk up the coast takes you to Thorpeness and Aldeburgh Marshes are also well worth taking a hike to.

ALDEBURGH

The popular, vibrant seaside town of Aldeburgh is famous for its culture, traditional feel and one of the best fish and chip shops in the country! Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings are home to one of the world’s greatest music festivals and has been named as one of the top 50 places to live in Britain. Crag Path runs along the seafront dividing the beautiful pebbly beach from the unspoilt pastel-coloured seafront properties and the town. The beach is a popular place for groups and couples to enjoy the wonderful fish and chips throughout the summer months. The town is steeped in history and has become a wonderful town for shopping with a good mixture of independent and chain stores to enjoy. The town also offers a good selection of pubs and restaurants or why not buy some freshly caught fish from the huts on the seafront and cook up your own feast at home. For those wishing for a more action-packed holiday there is excellent walking, cycling, sailing and golf at Aldeburgh. Growing in popularity you will want to return to Aldeburgh again and again!
