“The Brudenell sits right on Aldeburgh's seafront, a place where the staff truly make the difference, their warmth cutting through any chill in the old hotel's bones. Rooms, some with balconies overlooking the sea or the more intriguing marshland views, are comfortable and well-appointed, though the heat can be noticeable on upper floors. It's a solid base for exploring the high street and coast, with a restaurant that serves good food and a bar that feels like a proper drawing-room by the waves.”
