Pelican Cottage, Aldeburgh

The shower screen door needs to be fixed - coming off the runner

Excellent location. There were only two of us so properly was perfect for us. Great access to the town, beach and restaurants yet quiet at night. Good to have a garden with outdoor seating space. property was lovely and warm, as weather was cold.

Nothing really. We were just one couple so used en suite upstairs.. If there were two couples would have been more tricky as main bathroom was downstairs and stairs very steep. Nothing can do about this though. The bath water was running very slowly so gave up with trying to have a bath

Despite being centrally located in the High Street, it was surprisingly quiet, even on a Saturday night next to the Fish & Chip Shop! And being so central, the shops are super convenient, including the Co-Op which is a minute up the road, and the sea which is 2 minutes. Parking in the street outside was generally possible, and there was always space in the Terrace just behind when more than 2 hours were needed during the day. The cottage is really lovely and just what you'd hope for in a quaint coastal cottage, yet it was very warm and cosy and with every convenience. Having an en-suite bathroom upstairs, and a downstairs bathroom as well suited us perfectly.

You can't lock the door inside without a key. So if someone stays in the house, and someone else goes out, but needs to let themselves back in it's tricky. Although there was a back door key too, so ultimately not really an issue.

The location was excellent

Comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen

Location was excellent, beds were comfy and the house was very clean

The stairs were very steep but to be fair it does state this on line.

Spacious clean good facilities comfortable beds

The light outside the bedroom window not too much of a problem but a black out blind would be good

We liked the location and the facilities offered. The cottage was nice and warm and provided a good base for walks in the area.

It was cold when we were there so would have preferred some logs and kindling over the white wine that was left for us.

Good location

Downstairs toilet didn’t flush properly Hallway tiles need cleaning and sealing Upstairs shower surround needs cleaning and regrouting Some very large old cobwebs around most rooms Mattress in large bed did not have a cover - sheet was laid directly on top Much of decor very tired Extremely steep and narrow-treaded stairs Well equipped kitchen

Fantastic location and amenities. A lot of care and thought has clearly gone into the decoration and renovation of the property. Kitchen was well stocked (every utensil and appliance you could need were available). Log burning fire was excellent. Loved our stay here

Check in at 4pm and check out at 10am felt a little ungenerous, especially given the time of year. One or the other would have felt more fair. Smaller or warmer lights and a blanket in the living room would have made it more cosy

The location is great. Right on the High Street. As we went out of season, it wasn't busy or too noisy, but I can imagine in the summer it would be a different matter. There's a bathroom downstairs, which was handy and an ensuite to the double room at the front. We actually found the back bedroom bed more comfortable, so chose to sleep in there. But there were only two of us. We enjoyed the woodburner in the living room. Kitchen was well equipped. Didn't use the garden as weather didn't really allow. Aldeburgh and surrounding areas are charming with lots to explore.

We had an issue with the WiFi, which was rectified quickly but could not get streaming services on the TV.
