Guest Reviews

"We absolutely loved our stay at River View. The location is simply perfect - peaceful enough to escape the crowds but close enough to enjoy everything the area has to offer. Watching the sunrise over the marshes from bed was magical, and the apartment itself is beautifully appointed with everything we needed. The Sailors' Path walk to Snape was a highlight, and we enjoyed spotting so many birds from the garden. A fantastic base for exploring the Suffolk coast - we'll definitely be back!"

Book Your Stay

Your Suffolk Riverside Escape

River View is aptly named - the vistas across the marshlands of the River Alde are genuinely spectacular, changing with the light throughout the day and offering a front-row seat to Suffolk's abundant birdlife. This elegant first-floor apartment strikes the perfect balance between seclusion and accessibility, set back from the road yet just minutes from both the cultural buzz of Aldeburgh and the musical heritage of Snape Maltings. The contemporary interiors offer all the comfort you could want - a well-equipped kitchen for cooking fresh local seafood, a relaxing living space to unwind in after a day's exploration, and a spacious bedroom where the morning light reveals the marshes stretching to the horizon. It's the attention to detail that sets this place apart - quality furnishings, immaculate presentation, and thoughtful touches throughout. Whether you're wandering the Sailors' Path that passes by the property, teeing off at the nearby golf course, or simply sitting in the garden watching egrets and marsh harriers hunting over the reeds, River View provides a genuine connection to this special corner of Suffolk. The area offers so much - from Aldeburgh's independent shops and renowned restaurants to the concert hall at Snape, from the wild beauty of Minsmere to the quaint charm of Orford and Southwold. But the joy of River View is that you might find yourself equally content simply staying put, watching the tide ebb and flow across the marshes, enjoying a glass of wine in the garden as the sun sets, and feeling the stresses of everyday life melt away. For couples seeking quality time together in beautiful surroundings, River View offers not just accommodation but a genuine experience of Suffolk coastal living at its finest.
