If you're looking for a Bed & Breakfast close to the Suffolk coast with extraordinary views of a stunning estuary and accommodation offering privacy, comfort and style…well, you've come to the right place!

Completely refurbished in 2022, River View sits on the southern bank of the Alde estuary at Iken Cliff, near Aldeburgh in Suffolk, one mile down stream of the renowned Snape Maltings concert hall, café, shops and pub.

River View overlooks the estuary as it winds its way from the Suffolk coast, past historic Iken Church and on up to Snape Bridge and the Maltings. 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.

Bird watching at the RSPB's reserve at Minsmere is half an hour's drive away and close by is Orford and Framlingham with their respective ancient castles. The seaside town of Aldeburgh is 15 minutes away, 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.

PLEASE NOTE:
River View is available for B&B guests only - there is no kitchen for self-catering. It is available for a minimum stay of two nights throughout the year, for 2 people maximum in one or two bedrooms (tents cannot be erected in the garden to accommodate extra persons!).
