ALDEBURGH 3.5mls (5.6km), THORPENESS 3.5mls (5.5km), SNAPE 2.7mls (4.3km) A pretty and traditional semi-detached country cottage completely refurbished to provide really comfortable holiday accommodation in three bedrooms. With separate dining room, sitting room and a sunny conservatory, patio and large garden there really is room for the family to spread.

In an attractive rural setting in the heart of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Curlews Cottage is well positioned for the coast at Aldeburgh (2 miles) and Thorpeness (3 miles). Aldeburgh, like its northern neighbour, Southwold, remains in a time warp. A fishing village for many hundreds of years, (you can still buy fresh fish from the fishermen on the beach each morning) Aldeburgh became a popular resort for fashionable Victorians. Always a favourite haunt of writers and artists, Aldeburgh was made famous by composer, Benjamin Britten. Living and working in Aldeburgh Britten set up the Aldeburgh Festival, where one can enjoy performances by some of the world's finest musicians. The Aldeburgh Festival has grown considerably and with the building of the Snape Maltings Concert Hall there are now concert performances in Aldeburgh throughout the year. Aldeburgh is home to a year round programme of arts events including literary and poetry festivals, theatre, film and art exhibitions. Irresistable shops line the high street and there is a wide selection of restaurants and cafes, a very popular fish and chip shop and some fine pubs selling the local Adnams beer.
