My dog and I had a lovely week at this cottage. The location is perfect. A seven minute walk from both the Coop and the Tescos. Same to the beach. If you come out of the house, turn left and go to the end of the road, there is a large church/churchyard if you turn right and an open green/meadow 20 yards if you turn the left. So great and very closeRead more doggy places for pooches to stretch their legs. Lots of other footpaths close by also. The bed was super comfortable, kitchen well equipped, house lovely and warm and a safe enclosed garden for dogs. Really cannot fault this holiday cottage in any way. Thank you for a lovely stay. I would definitely book this cottage again. Hide

We have had a lovely long week-end at Fishermen's Rest. The cottage is spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. To have it's own parking space within a 5 minute walk of Aldeburgh was perfect!

This is a lovely cottage. Comfortable, clean, well located, with a beautiful garden. There are so many thoughtful touches (auto night lights, picnic basket with goodies, clear instructions, fans by the beds and so on). We all agreed that the shower is fab - great pressure and plenty of hot water. And the location is great. We had been a little concRead moreerned that it may be farther away from town than we would like, but it's a short walk into the thick of things and we actually preferred it because it was quieter. We could sit in the back garden listening to the church bells, it was bliss. Hide

This cottage is in the perfect location - close to all amenities and yet peaceful.
