Features

Arranged across three floors, Garrett House offers a comfortable, sociable space to unwind and spend time together. The country-style kitchen is well equipped for everything from quick breakfasts to unhurried suppers. The dining room sits just off the kitchen, seating five guests comfortably and lending itself equally well to casual meals or something a little fancier.

The living room is a welcoming space to settle into, with a large corner sofa and armchair all gathered around a cosy wood burner, which is particularly welcome after a day exploring Snape Maltings and the surrounding area. There’s also a Smart TV,...
along with a selection of games and puzzles for quieter evenings in. A cloakroom is conveniently located on the ground floor.

Spread across the first and second floors are three comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing a practical and easy layout for families or groups sharing. With space to spread out and unwind, the upper floors offer a calm retreat at the end of the day, complete with crisp 400-thread-count linens for a touch of extra comfort.

Message from the Owner

We have known the area for several years now and fell in love with Garrett House at Snape Maltings when we first viewed the property over 8 years ago. The property is so full of character and is especially cosy in the Winter months, while still being a fabulous base for exploring the surrounding areas all year round.

The back door accesses ‘The Courtyard’ which is a private garden with mature fruit trees and lovely seating areas to enjoy a morning coffee or an early evening drink in the sunshine.

There is so much to explore in and around Snape Maltings including some lovely shops, cafes, restaurants and some stunning walks. Located on the banks of the River Alde you are surrounded by nature but very close to Aldeburgh (and the beach), Woodbridge and Orford. We think it is an ideal spot to take time to relax, unwind, and discover this beautiful part of Suffolk.

We have recently completed extensive renovation works at Garrett House which we hope will enhance your stay - enjoy!!

The Location

Snape is a charming village located in Suffolk, about 5 miles inland from the coastal town of Aldeburgh. It sits along the River Alde, which winds through the surrounding countryside. The village has a rich history, with roots tracing back to Saxon times, and features traditional Suffolk architecture, including brick cottages and flint churches.

Snape Maltings, located just outside the village, is a renowned arts complex and cultural hub. Originally a Victorian-era maltings (where barley was processed for beer), it has been beautifully repurposed into galleries, shops, cafes, and a concert hall. The concert hall is home to the...
annual Aldeburgh Festival, founded by composer Benjamin Britten. Snape Maltings is a popular destination for art lovers, offering year-round music, exhibitions, and nature-inspired experiences.

The surrounding area is rich with natural beauty. The River Alde and its marshes attract birdwatchers and walkers, especially in the nearby RSPB North Warren Nature Reserve. To the east is the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), known for its diverse wildlife, heathlands, and charming coastal villages like Orford and Thorpeness. The region is perfect for walking, cycling, and exploring quiet, scenic landscapes.
