  • "It turned out to be an excellent location for me as I had wanted to attend the firework display which was approx 500 yards away, along with the tesco express same distance."

    I dont drive so that was fairly important for me. The cottage was centre for walks thru Aldeburgh out to Snape or the other way to Thorpness and beyond, all circular walks. I found the kitchen fully equipped and a thoughtful welcome pack of milk in the fridge and shortbread biscuits, I dont drink, so the wine and crisps Ive left for the next holiday!! I made contact with the owner easily when I had to request for the heating to be turned off as too warm for me. The double bed in the back room with its feather duvet was super comfortable. I would def book this cottage again.

  • "A lovely holiday cottage, within a 10 minute walk to the Town Centre with a Tesco Express and Co-op nearby."

    The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and well equipped and we enjoyed a very relaxing stay. A nice welcome pack on arrival and treats for our dog. Parking outside the property can be problematic at times. Good, friendly communication from the Owner. We are looking forward to our next visit later this year.

    Hi Carolyn Many thanks for your lovely feedback. Your comments are appreciated and we look forward to welcoming you again in December Property Owner

    So comfortable, well equipped, and an ideal location for walking into Aldeburgh. The Welcome pack was a nice touch too. We arrived on a Friday evening so couldn’t park outside the cottage but found somewhere up the road. Will definitely be back!

    10 mins walk from beach/centre of Aldeburgh. Southwold and Walberswick approximately 30 minutes drive away. Garden is detached from cottage but there is a small enclosed path to the side . Tesco and co-op round the corner. Can highly recommend

    Many thanks for your feedback, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay at Compass Cottage, and visited the East Suffolk Coast. Property Owner

    Way above the average place I have stayed in Aldeburgh. Wine and dog treats etc particularly appreciated! I would definitely book again, it was all lovely. Thank you

  • "This cottage was THE DREAM."

    We had the best stay and it was so incredibly well equipped. We had been meant to take our sausage dog with us (but she’s on holiday at my mums) which meant she missed out on the cutest bag of treats in the lovely welcome pack! We were in Aldeburgh for the children to learn to sail for the week and the cottage has an outdoor tap (to rinse wetsuits and salty kit) and a lovely sun-trap garden to dry everything. We have stayed at quite a few ‘best of Suffolk’ cottages in Aldeburgh, and for us this one had everything. Amazing proximity to Tesco & Coop too so the children could have a bit of independence and go themselves. We will 100% rent this place again. Lovely communication from the owners too. Bliss.

    It means a great deal to get such wonderful comments. We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay at Compass Cottage. Great to hear it was helpful towards your daughters securing their saling certificate s. We look forward to welcoming you back another time. Property Owner

    The cottage was perfect - clean and comfortable with everything required for a week away. The location was great - near to the beach, High St and a very handy Co-op and Tesco. Wonderful walks - fell in love with Suffolk - will definitely be visiting again but for longer!
