    A lovely place to stay, so quiet, peaceful and relaxing with wonderful views over the river. The cottage had everything we needed and the continental breakfast provided was delicious (especially the raspberries and bluberries) It's a great...

Kate Kilburn
A Bed and Breakfast for couples, individuals or friends close to the Suffolk coast with extraordinary views of a stunning estuary and accommodation offering privacy, comfort and style. Completely refurbished in 2022, River View sits on the southern bank of the Alde estuary at Iken Cliff, near Aldeburgh, one mile down stream of the renowned Snape Maltings concert hall, café, shops and pub, and in the middle of the Suffolk Heritage coastal area. River View is a self contained bed and breakfast (self-service Continental breakfast included) with its own private entrance. The entire space, including living/breakfast area, entrance hall, bathroom and bedrooms is yours alone. *Please note: Although there is a second, twin-bed, bedroom in addition to the double-bed room, the maximum number of guests at River View is two people. If the two guests require a room each, there will be an additional one-off laundry/cleaning fee to pay during your stay (fifteen pounds).
Kate is an experienced host who has operated self-catering and B&B lets since 2003, and she looks forward to welcoming you at River View or at her other property, River Cottage.
River View overlooks the estuary as it winds its way in from the Suffolk coast and on up to Snape Maltings - a world renowned centre for music and culture (a beautiful 20-minute walk by footpath). Bird life is in abundance including avocet and a multitude of other waders, while common seals can be seen on the mudbanks when the tide falls, or swimming in the river channel. All can be seen from River View. Bird watching is also a feature at the RSPB reserve at Minsmere – a half hour drive away, and close by is the delightful village of Orford. The seaside town of Aldeburgh is a 15 minute drive, while Thorpeness, Woodbridge and Southwold are within easy reach, not forgetting the pretty villages of Walberswick and Dunwich. In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, River View really does offer a unique location for a short-break stay in a wonderful part of the country.
