Rising above the coastline of the picturesque Suffolk village of Aldeburgh, Wide Skies offers a great spot to explore the local area. Be welcomed by this large Victorian townhouse and make yourself at home in the snug, where large windows draw in natural light, a great spot of reading with a cup of tea, and for a more social room, there is a first-floor sitting room with sea views. When mealtimes call, the kitchen/diner will not disappoint, with contemporary décor making this a great space for family cooking as the handy utility will take care of your muddy clothes as you dine. Five bedrooms offer a space to get cosy for the night, including a second-floor twin (can be set up as super-king-size on request), a second-floor super-king-size with en-suite with bath, shower over, basin and WC, a king-size, a double and a second-floor double. Outside there is a fantastic courtyard space where you can enjoy the sea air as you have breakfast in the sunshine. Aldeburgh is a fantastic little seaside town, offering a handful of great eateries where you can try out local produce and enjoy a glass of your favourite beverage. Visiting the pebble beach is a must, with amazing views of the ocean and a great place to stroll in the sea air, try out watersports and wild swimming or simply have a family picnic as your four-legged companion runs about at the shore. For avid walkers, the Snape path and Haven Nature Reserve will make for a wonderful afternoon with nature and coastal views and if you love history then you can visit the local museum and learn more about the village’s history. Make a family holiday to remember with a stay at Wide Skies.
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!

I booked it for my cousins to stay in for a celebration of my Dad's life, who sadly passed away in May. They had a great week. It was lovely to spend time with them.
