Self-catering holiday accommodation in Aldeburgh

Sample culinary delights

Suffolk is known as "The Foodie County", and Aldeburgh does its fair share of contributing to this title. As a coastal town, Aldeburgh is renowned for its fresh seafood, from classic fish and chips to its famous smoked fish, which is produced locally using traditional methods. Every September, the town hosts the Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival, a 2-day event celebrating all things culinary! Expect cookery courses, foraging trips and plenty of local dishes to sample. Book one of our holiday homes in Aldeburgh town centre and stay within walking distance of its many restaurants, seafood shacks, cafes and bakeries.

Admire the beautiful coastline

Aldeburgh occupies a beautiful setting on the Suffolk coast, with a scenic shingle beach where you can enjoy relaxing by the water and soak up those stunning sea views. Colourful beach huts and traditional fishing boats dot the shores, creating a picturesque backdrop. You may also spot the striking sculpture of The Scallop, a large stainless steel installation created by artist Maggi Hambling. The sculpture, inspired by composer Benjamin Britten who lived in Aldeburgh, takes the form of a scallop shell, a reference to Aldeburgh's coastal location and its association with fishing and seafood. Many of our Aldeburgh holiday homes are situated right on the coast, just a short walk from the pretty pebble beach.

Explore nature and wildlife

From wildlife watching to wildflower walks, Aldeburgh is a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
