The Retreat Aldeburgh Reviews

Paula
This was a beautiful house, it felt luxurious with the decor and fittings. It was very spacious and very well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean. The games room was a winner with the men. Lovely welcome pack for our arrival too. Not too far away from the Main Street so lovely walk to lovely local shops. Would highly recommend this property to others and will certainly reconsider visiting again.
Heather
Wow, the retreat is a stunning home! So spacious and comfortable. Heating and hot water is effective. The pool table is a great bonus. We'd be very happy to return.
Emma
Fantastic house with everything you could possibly want. Beds and sofas are very comfy. The added games room was a hit and also the trampoline. Well situated for many walks to the town, along alde river and to Thorpeness.
Jane
This was a wonderful place to stay - very easy access to Aldeburgh and fantastic place to stay. The pool table and lovely garden were a big draw for us all. Very comfortable and spacious home. We all had a great week. Would love to return.
Sarah
Great entertaining space perfect for family get together.. just bring some ovengloves
Graham
Accommodation was amazing, large and spacious with excellent equipment. A family holiday, comprising of 3 generations, was well catered for.
Patricia
Situated in a quiet area, close to Aldeburgh, and within easy reach of many lovely places. The cottage is spacious and well equipped for a great family get together. Clean and comfortable. Plenty of room for outside eating.
Sarah
Loved the house. A great communal space so important for a family holiday
Claire
It was a nice bungalow and we enjoyed our stay
Sandra
Very spacious, good location, comfortable beds with quality linen and towels. The kitchen was well equipped. We loved the trampoline and swing in the garden.
Lucy
A lovely sociable space for a group getaway
Amanda
We had a wonderful time, it was home from home, very comfortable, clean and the amenities were great.
Connie
The cottage was beautiful and very bright with excellent facilities for guests. It was well located and made venturing out from there very easy. Also a nice walk to the town and to the beach. We can imagine how great the place would be in the summer months as there was so much in store for outdoor catering . The patio and garden were well equipped and it was lovely and quiet all round.
Roberta
Great property, very clean and comfortable, all we wanted from a holiday home. Lovely gardens. TVs need sorting but otherwise very enjoyable stay
Cecilia
Spacious, well appointed family house. Comfortable beds and excellent showers with good hot water supply. We really enjoyed playing pool. Our only criticism is the lack of good back cushions on the sofas. The welcome pack was much appreciated.
Cara
Fantastic stay at The Retreat. The perfect family home. Open plan area is great for family get-togethers and the games room and garden (plus trampoline) kept the little ones entertained.
Janet
A lovely stay with 3 generations of family. The house is very well equipped and the pool table was enjoyed by all the family. The location is great, with a convenience of a couple of shops within very easy walking distance. We would all love to visit again
Mairead
A lovely base for a family of 8, 3 generations, age range 18 to 80 and the dog. The cottage is extremely comfortable with decent towels and bedding. Plenty of extra blankets if needed. The kitchen is well equipped with lots of crockery and glassware and full range of cooking utensils and cookware. Cooking a full roast for 8 was not difficult. A really good base for exploring Suffolk, or just heading to town for a walk, food (magpies or Thai) or gin experience (Fishers)! Plenty to do in the house with pool, chess and board games. We were lucky with the October weather but can only imagine how good it would be in the sun and making full use of the BBQ and patio.
Janette
Nice house, in good position for Aldeburgh and surrounding area.
Alice
The Retreat provided a great base for a multi generational holiday. A convenient location, lots of parking and a secure garden with good seating and playing areas. The kitchen is well equipped so self catering is easy.
Rachel
A well equipped property in a lovely quiet location.Close to some lovely coastal towns and beautiful walks.
Joanna
Lovely comfortable stay at The Retreat, we especially like the master bedroom and the huge bathroom. Fabulous to have plenty of light flowing into the house , it is very well equipped. Quiet residential road and good location for Aldeburgh etc.

David
Great place to stay and would be coming back
Claire
We enjoyed a wonderful 3 generational family holiday at the retreat. It is a spacious & comfortable accommodation & the kitchen is very well equipped. Would thoroughly recommend!
Dominic
A nice well laid out and comfortable property about 1 miles walk to Aldeburgh centre. Good location for walks & runs out into the surrounding countryside and a good location from which to explore Suffolk more widely.
Yvette
A beautiful â??retreatâ?? to relax and unwind. We were a family of 8 adults - this spacious house was exactly right for our needs. The lounge/dining/kitchen was the perfect social space for us all to be and not feel overcrowded. The house is fully equipped inside with all you could need with lots of little extras too! Thank you
Helen
A beautiful property which had everything you needed for a great stay - we will be back in December!
Anna
Beautiful property with everything we needed for 4 adults and 4 children to celebrate the new year. Games room and trampoline kept everyone happy and entertained. Great location to walk into and explore Aldeburgh. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely look to book again.
