Happy as a clam

Happy Days – the coast is clear. From seaside walks with fish and chips in hand to exploring markets and discovering castles. Aldeburgh, Suffolk,  is the prime location for your next seaside escape. Settled on the Suffolk coastline and surrounded by marsh land, Aldeburgh is steeped in history. From coastal bombings from the World Wars to the source of England’s richest archaeological discoveries of the Anglo Saxon period, Aldeburgh is a tapestry of those that have lived and loved there. Just under three hours from central London, discover Suffolk’s hidden treasure through Quince founder and Aldeburgh resident, Sarah’s eyes. Our latest addition to the Quince property portfolio, Penty on the Hoo, is designed with hints of the 50’s and 60’s married with our iconic Quince finishes. High on a hill, just minutes to the shore line, there’s so much to explore when staying with Quince.

A whale of a time

Take a dip into the Suffolk coastline. With East Anglia being enveloped by countryside and farmland, we think it’s time to focus on the coast. When we think of a seaside staycation, we think of crunching on shells and shingle, local strawberries and cream, and of course, fish and chips. Aldeburgh is the setting of our latest seaside addition at Quince, Penty on the Hoo. It’s the Suffolk home of culture, wildlife, history and art. Explore the East coast with Quince.

High on a Hoo

Celebrating all things Suffolk seaside. Home to indulgent fish restaurants, seaside art galleries and boutique shops, Aldeburgh offers a unique seaside holiday that takes you back. If you’re looking to bring the family together with minimal effort and maximum fun, we’ve got you covered. 

Roll Up!

From fish counters, deli delights and even local chefs creating culinary specials just for you. The Aldeburgh Market is a gallery for the best food products created and sourced locally for all to enjoy. Celebrate local businesses and indulge in the Suffolk produce, whether you’re purchasing ingredients for your kitchen masterpiece at home or taking the night off cooking and leaving it to the professionals. The Aldeburgh Market also has a restaurant for you to get a taste for your ingredients.

Rock the Boat

Iken Canoe is the perfect place to hire canoes and body boards for your multi-generational stay. The Canadian canoes will transport you through the River Alde estuary, a few miles up the river from Aldeburgh town. Gaze upon the world renowned Suffolk skies.

Castle on the Hill

Yes, the very one. Located in, you guessed it, Framlingham just a 30 minute drive away from the coast, Framlingham Castle is indeed the muse for Ed Sheeran’s hit song. Surrounded by a beautiful lake, the castle was once a home to earls and dukes of Norfolk. Take in the view after the spectacular wall walk and see how special this gem truly is.
