Albion House is a stunning Georgian period house set in the heart of the Suffolk Heritage Coast. The house and its stables dates to 1750’s and has been tastefully renovated over two floors. This elegant town house sleeps eight people in comfort and is ideal for couples, families, larger groups and group family holidays seeking a relaxing stay. This hideaway is perfect for short breaks and is ideal as a base for touring the picturesque Suffolk coastal area from the market town of Saxmundham.

The space
A gorgeous haven for couples, families, ideal for larger groups or group family holidays. It is a wonderful holiday base throughout the year, with coast, countryside, culture & food on the doorstep. Days at the beach, sailing, horse-riding, fishing, birdwatching, relaxing galore!

This lovely elegant Georgian property is in the heart of Saxmundham on Albion street, 500 yards from the high street and all the amenities. Albion House is a lovely home, full of character and exceptionally comfortable, clean and well-equipped, including the use of unlimited Wi-Fi and super fast broadband.

Albion House is close to an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, characterful pubs, excellent art galleries and a museum. The house is also a few paces from a very good fish and chip shop on the high street.

There are excellent restaurants just a couple of minutes walk away - The Bell, the Crown Inn are all excellent as well as several others. As you drive away 10 minutes from the house you will find Aldeburgh's promenade and beach in one direction, and the high street just yards away the other way. Despite the perfect location, the house is delightfully peaceful.

There is also public parking just outside the house.

The house has been re-furbished in a light but luxurious style and has been brought into the 21st century, with contemporary kitchen and bathroom and very comfy furnishings. It has its own wine cellar too for wine tasting activities (kindly note we don't supply the wine). On the ground floor it has a lovely cosy living room and dining space with a well-equipped kitchen and cloakroom. There is a private sunny courtyard with outside furniture too.

On the first floor it has a master bedroom which is spacious and peaceful with Georgian sash windows and a solid wood frame king size bed. There is also a second bedroom with a lovely sleigh king sized bed, through the second bedroom you can get access to the third bedroom, which has a single bed and a trundle bed. We also have a fourth bedroom which is furnished with another single bed and a trundle bed of metal frame and superior quality mattresses, covered with natural linen.

Albion House is an elegant period property, full of character and exceptionally comfortable. We provide complimentary toiletries and essential pantry items such as coffee, tea, sugar, biscuits, salt and pepper. We also provide household essentials such as washing up liquid, cling film wrap, foil paper and cleaning products.

My work: Aldeburgh Seaside Cottages - Southwold Seaside Cottages - Seaside Luxury Cottages
Speaks English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish
We are Tim and Lucy and we live on the stunning Suffolk Heritage Coast with our son Jack and our daughter Emily. We have been successfully letting our cottages: Arwen cottage in Aldeburgh, Thimble cottage in Southwold, Albion House and Stable cottage in Saxmundham and Castle Hill Cottage in Framlingham via our companies Aldeburgh Seaside Cottages, Southwold Seaside Cottages and Seaside Luxury Cottages. Our properties are self-catering and advertise on AirBnb. We are thrilled to have met such interesting people and received such lovely feedback for it. Tim was born and bred in beautiful Suffolk and I was born in Lima-Peru and brought up in Milan-Italy. I speak Spanish, Italian, French, German and English. As my husband’s family is from Suffolk we have strong ties with this beautiful part of the world. Having travelled extensively we have been inspired by the good things we have come across in properties we have stayed in. As you can tell, we are passionate about providing somewhere special that our guests will love, enjoy and return to. We feel incredibly lucky to be able to live in this part of the world and are loving sharing our cottages with some amazing people from the Airbnb community. If we had a motto to live by it would have to be Maya Angelou's: “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour and some style...”
