  • A modern holiday home set in the quintessentially British seaside town of Aldeburgh
  • The ideal escape for families and friends to come together in this contemporary home

Property code: OC-12LR

Escape to this beautiful modern home in the quintessentially British seaside town of Aldeburgh. The property sleeps eight guests and two hairy hounds, and is the perfect place for a special reunion or family gathering.

Kick off walking boots and dust off sandy paws before settling down in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you''ll find a beautiful blend of old and new furnishings that create the perfect backdrop to your getaway. Your kitchen is ultra-modern and contains everything needed to cook up daily dinners, as well as a fabulous walk-in pantry for storing local produce and doggie biscuits. Throw open the full-length bifold doors and watch as Rufus and Ralfy scamper off into the enclosed garden to find their snoozing spot in the sunshine. Children will be enchanted by the additional games room, where a pool table, TV and sofas offer hours of family fun, while the 11ft trampoline may be the icing on the cake! When day turns to night, make your way to one of the four sumptuous bedrooms for a peaceful night''s rest: three super-kings and one king-size (which can be made into twins should you wish). In the morning, venture outdoors so furry legs can stretch, and enjoy a fresh cup of tea and a few pages of your book.

Grab the dog leads and begin your days by sniffing out the streets of Aldeburgh, where you can admire pastel-coloured 19th-century holiday villas, fisherman''s huts selling the catch of the day, and a promenade lined with dog-friendly eateries. When tummies grumble, try some of the town''s famous fish and chips, or stop for cake, and puppuccinos for the canines. The delightful pebble beach is 1 mile from the accommodation and makes an excellent spot for waggy-tailed walks along the sand while humans soak up the sea air.

  • 4 bedrooms - 3 super-kings, 1 king size (zip-and-link beds that can be made up into 2 twin beds)
  • 3 bathrooms 1 en-suite with shower and WC, 1 en-suite with rainforest shower, bath and WC, 1 Jack and Jill bathroom with large shower and WC

  • Bi-fold doors from living area and games room onto terrace
  • Enclosed garden at rear with garden furniture and outside dining area for 10 people.
  • Weber Gas BBQ.
  • Outdoor fire chimney
  • 11 ft Trampoline. 
  • Private parking for 3 cars

What a wonderful property. We booked it for my 50th birthday and the reason we booked it was the large social space in the lounge and kitchen and the pool table . My husband and I stayed all week and had visitors throughout the week - family and friends of completely different age groups. Everyone loved it - the decor and furnishings are great, theRead more pool table was well enjoyed by all age groups and the location is great. The bedrooms were all beautiful especially the master bedroom which was amazing. It feels tucked away but isn't far from local amenities. Hide
