A striking country house impressively silhouetted against the stunning Suffolk skies, Aldeburgh Manor is a marine-themed delight with incredibly quaint and spacious interiors!
Enjoying a privileged spot by the sea, this home is a real treat for up to 14 lucky guests, accommodating both large families, groups of friends or even multiple families! The design is delightfully social, with a dining table alongside the exquisite kitchen, and a number of separate but adjoining living areas ensuring whether you want solitude or a large gathering, you can find the perfect arrangement here! Gentle greys, delicate whites and creams and wood-tones ooze through the whole property reflecting the soothing palette of the dazzling natural world of the Suffolk seaside beyond. Nautical details add a sense of life to each room, reminding you of the stunning coastline just outside your window! The garden room and the living room, sitting side-by-side, offer comfy seating with a cosy open fire and garden views! Finally, a large formal dining room is the cherry on the cake of this delightful property.
There are seven enchanting bedrooms in total, each totally unique and all equally beautiful. The soft colour theme pervades each room, while vibrant flowers and marine-themed décor adds a vibrant splash of colour here and there! The first two double rooms can be found on the first-floor, alongside a wonderful twin room, and there are two more of each on the second floor. Each room enjoys a seating area or a desk and ornate bedframes. There are three fabulous bathrooms on the first-floor, where you can enjoy delightful bathtubs and lovely showers. On the ground floor you will find an additional shower room – ideal for jumping in fresh out of the sea!

The spectacular seaside town of Aldeburgh awaits you just outside your front door, with its quaint Georgian high street teeming with shops and galleries and even the chance to pick up some fresh fish from the boats on the beach!
Nestled on the east coast of England, just over an hour from London, Suffolk is a fabulously peaceful, rural county with miles of sandy beaches and magnificent views!
Starting at its southern border with Essex and stretching all the way to Lowestoft and the Norfolk coast, the 50 miles stretch of enchanting and often wild coastline of Suffolk has a little something for everyone! With charming villages, medieval towns and exquisite natural beauty all set against breath-taking skies it is a true feast for the eyes!
The dazzling town of Aldeburgh itself, with its highly distinctive architecture, colourful boats and fresh-fish shacks stretching along the beach, is as unique as it is charming.
World-renowned for its connection with Benjamin Britten, born in nearby Lowestoft but who spent the last 30 or so years of his life living here, Aldeburgh is believed to have inspired many of the works by the prolific composer.
The impressive four-metre high 'Scallop' on the town’s Blue Flag beach is inscribed with the words ‘I hear those voices that will not be drowned’ from Britten’s famous opera Grimes which stand out against the glow of the Suffolk sky. You can even visit The Red House which Britten stayed in until his death in 1976 for an informal snapshot of the life he led here.

A maze of market towns like Bungay, Beccles and Bury St. Edmunds that dot the ever-intersecting rural roads amid the beautiful agricultural landscape and thatched cottages of villages, Suffolk embodies the slow pace of life that so many of us can only dream of. And yet, this county is rich in history, housing the grand estates of Framlingham Castle and Ickworth House, it holds the Home of Horseracing in Newmarket, and even endless attraction including the Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park near Lowestoft or The Otter Trust near Earsham with a huge collection of otters!
