Customer Reviews

It was a great place to have a 3 generational get together to celebrate a 90th birthday. Plenty of space for all, and separate areas for sitting, cooking and eating if required. Excellent location and the sunrises were amazing. Would we recommend this property to others – absolutely 10/10
Andrew – Mar 2025

17 of us met for a big birthday celebration- the house was central to how successful the weekend was – plenty of space, proximity to the sea and the wonderful town of Aldeburgh (its pubs and restaurants) made it just the perfect location – BOOK THIS HOUSE!!
Malcolm – Feb 2025

Absolutely brilliant house, in a brilliant location. Description and details were perfect. Amazing views and a 10/10 stay.
Alexandra – Dec 2024

Perfect location with panoramic views of the coast. The house itself is impressive and yet charming with fascinating artwork, books and items that each have a story to tell. Our group really enjoyed the weekend stay and would definitely return.
Gary – Oct 2024

I had an amazing stay, Gunfleet had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location was perfect—close to everything but still quiet enough to unwind after a day of exploring. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone.
Kevin – Sep 2024

My family and I had a lovely stay to celebrate a big Birthday. The house lends itself to lots of people and there is plenty of space for everyone. Perfect location on the sea front and walking distance to shops, restaurants and of course the sea. Some lovely dog walks too along the coast too. Would recommend.
Katie – Feb 2024

Had a brilliant time at Gunfleet. Quirky, interesting property with lots to explore and have fun with! Location is perfect…couldn’t think of a better way to start the year. Missing the morning swims already. Thank you ACC!
James – Jan 2024

The location of the property is amazing, it’s well furnished with everything you need
Paul – Nov 2023

A very nice house in a fantastic location. Comfortably accommodated 8 adults, 4 children & 3 dogs. A good time was had by all.
Peter – Oct 2023

The best weekend for hubby’s 60th! 14 adults making the most of this idyllic location and weather. The accommodation is homely. The bathrooms are clean , the rooms/beds are comfy. Two kitchens which is a dilemma but we just used the one on the upper ground floor. We ate outside for every meal )weather amazing) but would have struggled to seat 14 indoors together if it was a winter break. Beach on the doorstep, so swam before breakfast every morning. Listening to the sea as we fell asleep was blissful and we would definitely return again. Would recommend The Suffolk restaurant, a walk to Thorpeness and a row on the lake. There is also yoga at Fishers and some brilliant gin tours there too.
Joanne – Sep 2023

Perfect location, very close to shops. Cosy and warm Very responsive and helpful when emailed and we were contacted on the day of arrival to let us know that the house had been cleaned and if we arrived early we could access the house early.
Janie – May 2023

Gunfleet is a beautiful home from home. Everything has been thought of and it’s extremely comfortable, very spacious, luxurious without being stuffy, and lovely and warm for our winter stay. Very comfortable beds, fabulous bathrooms, great kitchens and living spaces and beautiful artwork and furniture throughout. We were a group of 7 and there was space for many more than that. The house is perfectly situated on the sea front but also within walking distance of everything Aldeburgh has to offer. We loved our stay and highly recommend Gunfleet
Danielle – December 2022

Superb location and spacious
Mark – November 2022

A fantastic property which feels like a real home. Great location next to beach and great views front and back. Highly recommended. Would love to go back.
Onn – September 2022

Gunfleet was absolutely everything we had hoped it would be, and more, for our multi-generational birthday celebrations. So much so that we’re booking again for next year! We absolutely loved all the art work – that was a real treat. And all the little unmentioned extras, like picnic set, deck chairs and beach shoes, are a lovely touch. Really great place for extended family breaks, tasteful decor and furnishings, extremely well equipped, and right by the beach – you couldn’t ask for more.
Jan – July 2022

Amazing house in an amazing location. Great for a family gathering with plenty of space to hang out.
Susan – July 2022

I just wanted to thank you and your team for all your help in booking and planning our weekend away in Aldeburgh. You really were so helpful and went beyond what was expected to make our stay so pleasant. Despite missing 4 family members, due to Covid, we had an absolutely lovely weekend at Gunfleet. The house perfectly suited our needs and the dinner cooked by Shane was delicious. Thank you again for your excellent communication and for your help. Kindest regards
Alex – July 2022

The house exceeded expectations fabulous location and wonderful holiday home for all the family
Angela – June 2022

Excellent accommodation for an extended family holiday. Ideal location with the beach just across the road. The house is well equipped with 2 kitchens, again ideal for families catering for different age groups. We will definitely back!
Judith – April 2022

We were very impressed with this property. We rented it for a three night stay to celebrate my dads 70th birthday. The property was very clean and is at a really lovely location, overlooking the sea and close to the town. The communication with the host was very good with quick responses to any questions we had. Highly recommend.
Lisa – April 2022

Fantastic, large home in a perfect location
Charlie – March 2022

We booked this lovely house so we could celebrate a BIG birthday together as a family … and we all had the very loveliest time. An icy wind was blowing down from the Arctic but the house was well heated and cosy inside. The view and sound of the sea were mesmerising – and several of the party braved the waves for invigorating early morning dips. It’s a lovely, family home stuffed with plenty of kitchen gadgets, cutlery, crockery etc as well as some useful bits and bobs like cooking oil, spices etc. Loads of board games. Good exercise going up and downstairs between the 2 kitchens which some might find challenging but fine for most. Lovely little terrace out the back which I imagine would be great on a balmy summer’s evening. Plenty of shops and good restaurants nearby if you want a break from the cooking. Just a fabulous getaway home – which we can’t wait to return to.

A beautiful view and lovely space to relax.
Sarah – August 2021

Superb house, great location. Perfect for large group/2 families – great top floor where kids could retreat and watch tv etc without adults being bothered by them! 2 top floor balconies, great for having drinks on, in the evening sun. Basic charcoal bbq on back ground floor terrace. Very well equipped kitchens (although as others have said – microwave and freezer only in downstairs kitchen which could be annoying if house is split for 2 families to use separately) Very tasteful decor. Plenty of bathrooms and space. Literally on the beach. Barely 5 minutes walk from the centre of Aldeburgh. Would 100% recommend, and will book again if we can!!
Philippa – July 2021

Amazing property with beautiful seaside views. Really spacious and well presented. Highly recommended.
Anthony – June 2021

‘Perfect bolthole’ An absolutely lovely house in a fabulous location. Couldn’t recommend this property highly enough. Right on the beach and only a few minute walk from the high street.
Sophie – October 2020

Love Aldeburgh. Such a great place for a seaside stay. Was understandably busier this year but still loved it.
Marion Wharton, Darlington – October 2020

We had a fabulous 4 night stay. The house is beautiful and in a stunning location. Aldeburgh is a pretty seaside town with lots of amenities, there are great walks from the house in all directions. We really couldn’t fault it. Thank you for a wonderful stay, just what we all needed in fact we really didn’t want to leave.
Catherine, Lillingstone Lovell – September 2020

A large, light, comfortable house in a fantastic location, plenty of space for everyone. Next to the sea and so close to all the shops and restaurants.
Gunfleet – September 2020

Absolutely gorgeous house, equipped with everything and amazing views. You couldn’t be closer to the sea here and its conveniently located at the quieter end of Aldeburgh but still extremely close to shops, restaurants and the best fish & chips ever. Can’t recommend more highly and very much hope to return one day.
Kirsty Wilkinson – July 2020

This has to be the Premier Property in Aldeburgh ….on the sea – front and back terrace …beautifully appointed – loads of space and style / we can’t wait to return.
Adrian Melrose – July 2020

Great location on the sea front. Plenty of space for a family get together. We loved our stay. Thanks for all your help.
Natalie Mcmullan – February 2020

This was our first time staying in Aldeburgh as we usually stay in Southwold. The large house we stayed in was stunning. Very well furnished and kitted out. It was like being in an upmarket hotel. Very clean and well appointed, we couldn’t fault it and would highly recommend. Being on a quiet road not far from the high street and overlooking the sea it’s position was perfect.
Adrian Slater – January 2020

Amazing house with all the amenities anyone could want. Views of the beach were wonderful.
Kit – November 2019
