IF you fancy a stay right by the beach but with a bit of style, you’ll want to head to Suffolk.
Here is everything you need to know about staying at Brudenell Hotel.
Where is the Brudenell Hotel?
The hotel is perched right on the beach and promenade of the sophisticated seaside town of Aldeburgh.
And the four-star boutique hotel – a local Victorian landmark – has had a makeover bringing it right into the 21st Century.
What are the rooms like?
The 44 rooms vary from standard double rooms overlooking the town through to superior deluxe seaview rooms with unparalleled views across the long pebble beach.
The beds are super comfortable and everywhere is decorated in soft, neutral tones with the occasional nautical and coastal reference here and there – like pieces of driftwood or porthole shaped windows.

There is nothing more restorative and relaxing than sitting in your room watching, and listening, to the waves crash on the beach and seagulls crying overhead.
The illuminated seafoam washing up out of the darkness of the North Sea is a hypnotic experience.
Double rooms from £164 per night, including breakfast. See here.
What is there to eat and drink?
The hotel has a terrific seafood & grill restaurant with views over the beach and offers all-day dining with a two course lunch from £20.
There are plenty of other options in Aldeburgh from the best fish and chips imaginable to pizzas and even a terrific Indian, Sea Spice, at the nearby White Lion Hotel.
What else is there to do nearby?
You have to walk the length of the beach and take in the stunning Suffolk countryside flanking the nearby winding and sprawling River Alde.
But also check out the town centre with its myriad of shops, galleries and museums. Aldeburgh is a real gem of a coastal destination.
Is the hotel family friendly?
Some of the Superior rooms and Deluxe rooms can sleep two kids, and cots are available on request.
is it accessible?
There is lift access as well as two accessible rooms.
Blue bay parking is available.
