A stay in Aldeburgh captures the true essence of the great British seaside. With its distinctive façade, Sea & Spices adds a touch of Scandinavian minimalism to proceedings – while inviting guests to soak up the fresh sea air each day without compromising the home comforts. Renowned for its appearance on the BBC television series 'Grandpa in my Pocket, it's one of the most recognisable cottages in Aldeburgh. Modern in style, its stylish minimalist luxury design is a haven of free-flowing light and airy open space, far away from any traditional holiday cottage. Outside, the charming terrace enjoys views of the water, the Moot Green, and the 16th-century Moot Hall, which are frequently outshone by spectacular sunrise and sunset scenes. The real draw of the home, however, is the location. Whether walking up the beach or down the high street, there is a fantastic collection of restaurants, cafes, and independent shops to explore.

About Aldeburgh
When the sun sets on Aldeburgh, the pastel-coloured houses that line the shore seem to glow and the pebbled beach takes on a rainbow hue. Here, the buildings come right up to the beach, so you just need to hop over the coastal wall to reach the sea. The seaside town was once home to Benjamin Britten, and it still retains its creative pull, with the Aldeburgh Festival of Music...
