The Fish Store, a cosy retreat in Aldeburgh

Small but perfectly formed holiday accommodation, bijou and quaint, this is a compact oasis which has been incredibly well designed to incorporate everything you need for a romantic break in the heart of Aldeburgh. Tucked away in a quiet spot behind The Co-Op the ground floor has a bedroom with double bed, a shower room, and stairs to the first floor where you'll find a cosy living room with a kitchen and breakfast bar so you can enjoy simple meals at home.

REVIEW
"A perfect bolt hole within minutes of the sea so we could have a swim before breakfast, after lunch, and pre-dinner! Found a pleasant walk to Thorpeness through shady woods and back along the beach.
Having Co-Op next door is an added bonus! And, despite being in the middle of the high street, very quiet with a comfortable bed so a good night's sleep was guaranteed. We'll be back!"

You’re welcomed into a small entrance with the bedroom door to your left, a curtain ahead of you concealing the shower room, and unusually steep stairs rising ahead of you to the first floor with a rope rail to steady you.

BEDROOM
The quality king size bed sits under the window in this carpeted bedroom, with a shelf and lights on either side for bedtime reading. A wardrobe with hanging space and shelves gives space for you to unpack and settle in and there’s a handy cubby holes for shoes.

SHOWER ROOM
A curtain neatly gives privacy to this compact shower space which has a corner shower cubicle with an adjustable electric shower attachment, a WC, attractive porcelain basin and a heated towel rail (towels are provided).

LIVING/KITCHEN/DINING ROOM
Incredibly well designed, this charming room has everything you need for a restful stay with a skylight and windows allowing lots of natural light in the summer months and a wood burner to keep you cosy in the winter.
Whether you enjoy catering at home or prefer a takeaway, the kitchen is equipped with an under counter fridge, a two-ring electric hob and a Samsung Smart combination microwave/oven and the there are a couple of stools beneath the worktop to perch on whilst eating. You’ll find ample crockery, cutlery and utensils, as well as the essential Smeg kettle and toaster.
The sitting area is furnished with a couple of beautiful velvet bucket chairs, a coffee table and the corner table where the Bluetooth speaker and TV sit for your entertainment with a Humax Freesat box so you can log into your own Netflix or Amazon account.

OUTSIDE
The Fish Store is tucked away in an incredibly quiet spot behind the second hand bookshop in the heart of town, literally a couple of minutes from the sea and shingle beach with a string of fish huts where you can buy the freshest fish on land. The Co-Op and all the independent shops, eateries, takeaways, iconic Cinema and wonderful art galleries are on the doorstep. Access is through a small courtyard, shared with one other property.
