About this property

Boasting a superb setting close to the centre of Aldeburgh, Suffolk, Homleigh offers well-presented accommodation which is ideal for a family holiday. The property is the perfect holiday destination whatever time of year it is, with the sitting room providing a warm and welcoming space and the addition of a feature open fire helping to take the edge off the chill in the winter months. If the weather is warmer, then there is a fantastic outside courtyard garden with a table and chairs set up ready for the adults to enjoy time alfresco whilst children (and a pet!) can enjoy the space and fresh air. When it’s time to eat, the designated chef can make their way to the fully fitted kitchen where they will find everything needed to produce hearty food for the whole family and there is a door opening onto the courtyard at the rear, so when the food is ready to serve up, if the weather allows, you can serve up outside. If it’s not quite warm enough, then the dining room is all set up leading off from the kitchen with a rustic dining table and large, west-facing windows helping to allow the light flood in and creating a really sociable space. Come bedtime and the children’s bunk bedroom offers a really cool space while the double bedroom gives the grown-ups the chance to rest in a room with a truly relaxing vibe. Grab a quick shower or a relaxing soak in the bath in the morning and you’re good to go. Within a short walk is the town of Aldeburgh which has a beach, a museum and a great selection of shops and eateries, so you can easily while away a day here. Head a little further down the coast and you can check out places such as Thorpeness, Walberswick and Southwold, all picture-postcard seaside settings and perfect for a beach day out. Jump in the car for a scenic drive to attractions such as Snape Maltings, home of the famous Aldeburgh Music Festival, Framlingham Castle, Sutton Hoo, RSPB Minsmere and Africa Alive Zoological Reserve. Offering a stylish and relaxing home-from-home, Holmleigh is the perfect holiday destination.

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!
