When you are not exploring the region’s beautiful countryside or the wonderful beaches of Suffolk, you can relax in the hotel’s 2 spacious and attractive lounges. There are comfortable chairs in which you can settle down with a good book or the day's newspaper. Alternatively, you could sit by the window with a coffee and watch the world go by as people stroll along the seafront. In the summer, you can relax with the sun on your face in one of the lounges’ sunny spots and in winter, you can warm yourself by the roaring open fire.

Outside, there are 2 sea-facing gardens in which you can sit and enjoy the sun and the sea views. Morning coffee, light lunches and cream teas are served in the gardens. Darfield House, which is opposite the main hotel, also has a delightful courtyard garden.

There are 35 carefully furnished rooms at the Wentworth Hotel, many with views over the beach and the sea. The rooms vary in size and 7 of the rooms are in Darfield House, opposite the main hotel. These rooms are particularly spacious and well appointed. Guests staying in Darfield House also have the use of a secluded patio garden.

Binoculars are provided in the rooms with sea views, so that guests can study the not-so-distant horizon.

Rooms are regularly refurbished to a high standard and are bright, cheerful and welcoming. Each room has a copy of Catherine Hale’s book, A Seaside Holiday, a story about Orlando the cat and his holiday in Owlbarrow (Aldeburgh).

The restaurant has received 2 AA Rosettes for the outstanding preparation of its food and the good quality of the ingredients it uses. The elegant candlelit restaurant offers an attractive and relaxing setting in which to enjoy your meal. The menu changes on a daily basis, reflecting the finest, freshest seasonal produce available locally.

Whatever you have planned for your holiday, the hotel’s generous and tasty breakfasts are a great way to start your day. You can enjoy fresh fruit salad, yoghurt, cereals, porridge, locally smoked kippers or the hotel’s full traditional cooked English breakfast.

At lunchtime, the terrace bar offers a wide choice of dishes, from light bites to cooked meals. In season, you can enjoy a fresh crab sandwich or you could always have that old favourite, traditional cod and chips.

The hotel offers an impressive seafood menu, including fresh, locally caught fish from a Lowestoft fishing boat crewed by Aldeburgh fishermen.

Aldeburgh is a quiet, but flourishing town on the unspoilt Suffolk coast, internationally famous for its annual music festival founded by Benjamin Britten in 1948. The town also has a strong maritime tradition dating back to 1300. There are still long-shore fishermen who launch their boats from the shingle beach and sell their catches from the black-tarred huts.

The area has something for everyone, from sports and the arts to stately homes and castles. The area’s charming country lanes, delightful, traditional cottages and heath land and gardens are all surrounded by the beautiful, unspoilt countryside of the Suffolk coastline.

Aldeburgh lies in an area of outstanding natural beauty. It has a championship golf course, excellent sailing on the River Alde, many country and beach walks and a number of bird reserves close by. Minsmere Bird Reserve is operated by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and the Marsh Harrier and Bittern both flourish there. Nearby Havergate Island is a home of the Avocet. The Alde Estuary is popular with sailors and for keen golfers, there are 2 challenging golf courses within a few minutes’ drive.

Nearby Snape Maltings provides a venue for music throughout the year, including the world-famous Aldeburgh Festival in June and the Snape Proms in August.

Other nearby attractions include the Oysterage at Orford, Framlingham Castle and Leiston Abbey. The city of Norwich is a relatively short journey away.
