For that very special seaside holiday where comfort and taste are an integral part of the experience. For those looking for a carbon neutral holiday - The Studio exceeds Building Standards insulation requirements, and has a great deal of South facing glazing so that it is in effect a "passive solar house" gaining much of its heat from the sun, the condensing boiler and seven tall radiators ensure that The Studio is toasty whatever the weather.

SNAPE 5miles (8km) ORFORD 12miles (17km) WOODBRIDGE 20miles (33km) SOUTHWOLD 24miles (39km) Set in the heart of the delightful sea side town of Aldeburgh, just a few minutes walk from the beach this wonderful art deco artist's studio has been lovingly and tastefully restored to create the perfect state of the art retreat for a really comfortable self catering holiday at any time of the year. Very well equipped The Studio caters for most needs and wants including wi-fi (phone calls free to landlines in the UK) and an Ipod doc. An enormous first floor south facing balcony overlooks the garden and the sea beyond, whilst the patio has views over the fenced and very private garden.

Aldeburgh, a favourite sea side escape for artists, musicians and families yearning for those special holiday breaks of yesteryear, is a pretty Victorian coastal resort. The inspiration for much of Benjamin Britten's music and centre for his creation - The Aldeburgh Festival - the little town still plays host to concerts, film, theatre and poetry festivals. In the heart of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Aldeburgh is an ideal location for bird watchers, walkers and of course sailors. The estuary, marshes and shingle banks are home to a wide variety of wildlife and there are sailing and yacht clubs at nearby Slaughden as well as the famous Aldeburgh and Thorpeness heathland golf courses just a few minutes drive from The Studio.
