Set in the heart of the delightful sea side town of Aldeburgh, just yards from the beach this exquisite building, once the local library, more recently an artist's studio has been lovingly and tastefully restored to create the perfect state of the art retreat for a really comfortable self catering holiday at any time of the year.

Aldeburgh, a favourite sea side escape for artists, musicians and families yearning for those special holiday breaks of yesteryear, is a pretty Victorian coastal resort. The inspiration for much of Benjamin Britten's music and centre for his creation - The Aldeburgh Festival - the little town still plays host to concerts, film, theatre and poetry festivals.

In the heart of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Aldeburgh is an ideal location for bird watchers, walkers and of course sailors. The estuary, marshes and shingle banks are home to a wide variety of wildlife and there are sailing and yacht clubs at nearby Slaughden as well as the famous Aldeburgh and Thorpeness heathland golf courses just a few minutes drive from The Old Library.

For more information on the area please visit Visit Aldeburgh
