Stowaway Cottage, Aldeburgh

Stowaway Cottage is in a great location, only 30 seconds to walk to the beach, and 5 minutes to the main village street. It's a quirky layout, which caused my wife to remark, "It's like a Hobbit house!" -- the bathroom is down a narrow passage, and the bedrooms are up two flights of narrow, steep stairs. The upstairs ceilings and doorways are low, so duck your head if you're tall. (I'm six feet tall and I had to walk like a hunchback upstairs.) Having sad that, the bedrooms are both quite spacious and the beds are comfortable. There's a sink with hot and cold water in each bedroom, but the toilet is in the bathroom downstairs, which makes nighttime pee runs quite a trek. The kitchen is well-equipped with a microwave, stove, oven, fridge, dishwasher, toaster, and washing machine. I was able to cook meals for us with no problems. There's also a living room with a small TV set and seating for 5 people. Despite the quirks of Stowaway Cottage, it was a great place for us to stay -- it was close to everything and comfortable enough for eating and sleeping.
