  • "The flat is ideally located to enjoy the beach and town."

    The lounge is bright and has good views, the kitchen is well appointed, the bed was very comfortable. The bathrooms need some TLC eg shower seals and dripping taps. We loved the artwork depicting local life and scenery and the wide range of interesting books about the local area. Thank you for the welcome gift and for all of the helpful information sent beforehand and in the folder.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Crabbe House and wished we could stay longer!"

    We really enjoyed the sea view, the location on the high street is very convenient and being above the bookshop was a treat! The flat is very well-equipped, comfortable and relaxing. We would very happily stay here again.

    We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Crabbe House, and look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

  • "What a delightful apartment, a real home from home."

    The situation in the middle of Aldeburgh is perfect, so close to all the lovely restaurants and independent shops. It's the best equipped kitchen we have ever had and a lovely cosy comfortable sitting room. We will definitely be back when the weather is a bit warmer so that we can take the opportunity to sit on the balcony and look out over the sea, perfect!

    Thank you for such lovely comments. Property Owner

  • "The owners have thought of everything, which contributes to the perfect relaxing holiday."

    The towels are big and fluffy, the beds are very comfortable - we loved the brilliant white crisp linen - and every pot, pan and utensil you could possibly need in the kitchen. This is truly a home from home,

    It really is our home from home and we are so pleased that you enjoy it too. Property Owner

  • "Lovely location at the quiet end of the High St with great views to the sea from the first floor sitting room."

    Spacious sitting room with very well equipped kitchen. Two bathrooms so a comfortable stay for four adults. Bathrooms a bit quirky but functional, plenty of hot water and good showers. Beds and bed linen of good quality. Only criticism is the bedrooms had cobwebs and were generally a bit dusty. We very much enjoyed our stay. We ate at The Lighthouse just across the road, lovely friendly atmosphere and good food. The walk to Thorpeness and breakfast at The Kitchen is recommended. Strolling the sea front which is a few steps from the house is great , early morning fresh fish buying at the shacks was a treat. Southwold and Walberswick easy distance by car.

    Thank you for taking the trouble to give such full and positive feedback which is more than fair. We have passed on the comments on dust and cobwebs to our housekeepers who are normally spotless. There must have been a rare lapse. Property Owner

  • "Shabby chic but very confortable and well equipped."

    Could do with a refresh Of decorations

    Thank you for the "comfortable and well equipped" comment. We take Shabby Chic as a compliment! It's the Farrow & Ball look we chose when we renovated which tends to prompt that observation. Better than Shabby Shriek! The comment about redecoration we take on board and will have a critical look when next down - we do repaint each winter those parts which need it. Do come again.

  • "Great location and we love the view from the flat over the sea."

    The kitchen is very well stocked but the cupboard doors would benefit from a thorough clean. The twin bedroom sash window doesn't close fully nor does the one in the shower room which in winter is very chilly and wastes heat. That said, we love the place and this is not our first stay.

    Many thanks for the comments. We love the property too and are in ourselves in June. We will look at the cupboard doors and both windows mentioned then. All helpful suggestions welcome. Do come again! Property Owner

  • "Very comfortable apartment exceptionally well equipped."

    A little less furniture I think 4 chairs in the main bedroom!

    Thank you for the comments. The reason for the additional chairs is that we sometimes use the bedroom as an alternative sitting room e.g. to watch TV. Property Owner

  • "A fabulous few days in a lovely flat in a great location with a lovely sea view."

    Having our breakfast on the balcony was such a treat. The owners have gone out of their way to make everything just right - don't change a thing. The only complaint is that our stay was too short.

    Thank you. It is our holiday home and we agree. All we can add is that the balcony is also recommended for enjoying beautiful sun rises and much needed sundowners! Property Owner

    Wonderful sea view (including from large balcony). Everything that Aldeburgh has to offer is on your doorstep.

    Thank you for your lovely comments. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay in Crabbe House. Our balcony has proved very popular and also, as you mentioned, the proximity to the Aldeburgh shops and restaurants. Property Owner

    It really is home from home, we especially like the lounge with the beautiful views to the sea, sitting on the balcony having breakfast and the stunning kitchen. We love it and hope to be back next year.

  • "We loved the apartment, really spacious and a good view of the sea from the living room."

    TV and WiFi were excellent and lovely comfortable settees. Everything you could possibly need was there and it was very clean. The bath was a bit of a shock to my friend as it was very deep the top of it being floor height but short, obviously necessary for the space available. She felt it necessary to sit on the toilet first to enter it for safety. However, we loved the proximity to the restaurants and the town of Aldeburgh. We found parking near Moot House so this was convenient. Thank you for letting us have your apartment.

    Thank you for such wonderful comments. Apologies for the bath but Aldeburgh cottages do tend to have the odd quirk. However there is a useful handle on the wall, but all hail the dual purpose loo! Property Owner

  • "Coys flat with sea view, warm and well equiped, What should be mentioned, that almost every room, including bathrooms are on different levels, so lots of steps, which is difficult for people with walking impairement."

    Onb the high street with shops in easy reach

    We are sorry the stairs were a bit of an inconvenience. We do go out of our way to mention them in our description for those who cannot take them. We find once up the main flight of ten or so steps they are not too bad AND without the stairs we all would not be able to enjoy the fantastic view which we love so much. Property Owner

ALDEBURGH

Thorpeness 2.1 miles; Saxmundham 7.2 miles.

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!
