Location, location, location - a phrase we often hear, but is key when choosing which holiday home is right for your stay. Ideally positioned just a few moments walk from the beach, and so conveniently located for everything you could need and want from Aldeburgh's thriving High Street. You could park up in Aldeburgh on the first night, and find you don't need to use the car again until it's time to go home! However, it's also a perfect base to explore further afield, such as venturing up to Southwold, or inland to historic Framlingham or Lavenham. Head off for walks, picnics and to explore Suffolk with your other half from this ideally located cottage.
Looking to bring your four-egged friend? No problem! Dogs are welcome at Tiger Villa, and what could be better than the beach for your morning 'walkies'? Even better, there's no extra charge to bring your dog.

The fridge is in need of defrosting also unfortunately we were informed on our journey to Suffolk that the dish washer wasn't working , all minor points I know but may be important to to other guests. Overall the cottage is comfortable other than these points the cottage is cosy , well presented and in a great location for a lovely dog friendly holiday.

The cottage is very well appointed and just right for a short vacation. A good location for all of Aldeburgh. Great shower and bath, very comfortable living room with the 2 sofas, had no problem with the TV and Freesat unlike some but I'm very well versed in the techie stuff lol. Didn't have need for the kitchen facilities apart from the kettle and coffee maker so can't really comment but seemed perfect. A few niggles - the mattress is very firm and uncomfortable for me (personal), the mains water makes a very loud noise in the ceiling above the bedroom when the toilet is flushed, the boiler fan seemed to be running full time (which backs onto the head of the bed), exit from the bathroom is almost immediately onto the steep stairs (could be a worry if unsteady on your feet!), there is a constant, slight smell of sewage on the upper floor and the traffic noise can be intrusive. I can imagine it would get very hot in the cottage, even with the windows open, during hot weather. That said, we had a good stay, thank you.

Perfect for 2 people and had everything we needed. The ant traps were a shock to walk into but to be fair, we saw no ants at all during our stay however we barely used the kitchen. When we did use some of the cutlery/glasses etc, they were not 100% clean so we washed them again ourselves. The steep stairs were no bother for us but I can see how they might be for some. The bed was comfortable but it was stiflingly hot in the bedroom at night despite keeping the window wide open!! The sitting room was lovely and the dining table was useful on the rare occasion we had a snack. Some flowers /plants at the front might improve the view as some other houses have done but obviously not essential!! The wine/crisps and biscuits were appreciated. Thank you.
