WELCOME TO RIVER COTTAGE

River Cottage offers you the perfect location for a self-catering holiday in Suffolk.

Based on the banks of the River Alde estuary, our accommodation - River Cottage - is one mile downstream of the famous Snape Maltings concert hall, home of the Aldeburgh Festival and four miles upstream of the delightful seaside town of Aldeburgh.

The cottage affords one of the best views in East Anglia over looking the estuary as it winds its way in from the Suffolk coast, past historic Iken church and on up to Snape bridge. At low tide, bird life is in abundance including avocet and other wading birds, while at high tide dinghy sailing and swimming can take place in the summer months.

Bird watching at the RSPB's reserve at Minsmere is also just a short drive away, as is the village of Orford and town of Framlingham with their respective ancient castles.

Golf enthusiasts are spoilt for choice with wonderful 18-hole courses at Thorpeness, Aldeburgh and Woodbridge and just up the coast is Southwold, with its pier, as well as the beautiful villages of Walberswick and Dunwich.

In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, River Cottage provides the ideal location for a self-catering holiday, short break or B&B, from which to discover this beautiful part of the Suffolk coast.
