  • "Wide Skies is an amazing house."

    I booked it for my cousins to stay in for a celebration of my Dad's life, who sadly passed away in May. They had a great week. It was lovely to spend time with them.

  • "We loved the house."

    It suited all of us, plenty of room and lovely decor. The house has been maintained to a very high standard and is extremely well equipped. We all loved the position as it was a stones throw from the beach and high street but on a very quiet road. Thank you.

    It is great to hear that you loved your holiday at Wide Skies, and we appreciate your lovely words. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

    Carefully and cleverly modernised to the highest standard. Certainly our family favourite and we look forward to our return - it has been a great week!

  • "I would have given this stay a 5 star review except for your terrible customer service."

    We discovered we had forgotten an important item after we left. I phoned your number multiple times Always the wait was over 30 min with no one answering. I have not had a response to the emails I have sent you either. Disappointing customer service so I will not be recommending you or using you again. A shame as the house and stay was otherwise lovely. I would appreciate a call back to discuss this.

    Thank you for your review, and our apologies that you struggled to contact us via the telephone lines. This is highly unsual for anyone trying to contact the Best of Suffolk team, and we pride ourselves in our swift responses.I am unable to find any emails that were sent over, but happy to see that our Brand Manager was in contact regarding your lost property as soon as this feedback was published. We hope that we can welcome you back to Best of Suffolk and the stunning Wide Skies in the future. Property Owner

  • "Perfect location and amazing accommodation for our girls weekend."

    Spoilt for choice with the bedrooms. Style & quality of this property is stunning - we will be back!

  • "The standard of cleanliness was generally good."

    However a dirty towel was left in 1st floor right hand side bedroom hanging behind the door. On emptying bathroom bins before leaving a child's dirty nappy and other discarded waste was left behind after a previous occupation. Both these instances could and should have been found by the cleaning team. There was a problem with the kitchen lights / downstairs loo extractor fan. this was reported on Monday but only actioned on Wednesday. From a financial aspect the matter was resolved but quicker action by the housekeeping team should have been forthcoming

  • "We have had a great time here at this lovely house."

    We have wanted for nothing with the house being so well equipped and such good quality items everywhere. It felt like a home rather than a holiday house. Great location too. We have been coming to Aldeburgh with Best of Suffolk for many years and this house has been by far the best. Thank you and the goodies were very much appreciated.

The property

Rising above the coastline of the picturesque Suffolk village of Aldeburgh, Wide Skies offers a great spot to explore the local area.

Be welcomed by this large Victorian townhouse and make yourself at home in the snug, where large windows draw in natural light, a great spot of reading with a cup of tea, and for a more social room, there is a first-floor sitting room with sea views.

When mealtimes call, the kitchen/diner will not disappoint, with contemporary décor making this a great space for family cooking as the handy utility will take care of your muddy clothes as you dine.

Five bedrooms offer a space to get cosy for the night, including a second-floor twin (can be set up as super-king-size on request), a second-floor super-king-size with en-suite with bath, shower over, basin and WC, a king-size, a double and a second-floor double.

Outside there is a fantastic courtyard space where you can enjoy the sea air as you have breakfast in the sunshine.

Aldeburgh is a fantastic little seaside town, offering a handful of great eateries where you can try out local produce and enjoy a glass of your favourite beverage.

Visiting the pebble beach is a must, with amazing views of the ocean and a great place to stroll in the sea air, try out watersports and wild swimming or simply have a family picnic as your four-legged companion runs about at the shore.

For avid walkers, the Snape path and Haven Nature Reserve will make for a wonderful afternoon with nature and coastal views and if you love history then you can visit the local museum and learn more about the village’s history.

Make a family holiday to remember with a stay at Wide Skies.

About the location

ALDEBURGH

Thorpeness 2.1 miles; Saxmundham 7.2 miles.

The popular, vibrant seaside town of Aldeburgh is famous for its culture, traditional feel and one of the best fish and chip shops in the country! Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings are home to one of the world’s greatest music festivals and has been named as one of the top 50 places to live in Britain. Crag Path runs along the seafront dividing the beautiful pebbly beach from the unspoilt pastel-coloured seafront properties and the town. The beach is a popular place for groups and couples to enjoy the wonderful fish and chips throughout the summer months. The town is steeped in history and has become a wonderful town for shopping with a good mixture of independent and chain stores to enjoy. The town also offers a good selection of pubs and restaurants or why not buy some freshly caught fish from the huts on the seafront and cook up your own feast at home. For those wishing for a more action-packed holiday there is excellent walking, cycling, sailing and golf at Aldeburgh. Growing in popularity you will want to return to Aldeburgh again and again!
