The White Lion is a traditional hotel opposite Aldeburgh's shingle beach, where wooden huts line the shore. Some of the cosy, inviting rooms have far-reaching sea views. The privately owned hotel offers excellent service and fresh Suffolk produce served from delicious menus. Dine in the informal beach-facing bar with Real Ales, or the light and airy oak-panelled restaurant with an AA Rosette. With its warm atmosphere, log fires and good food, The Best Western White Lion is a wonderful seaside hideaway. In the area are: Snape Maltings concert hall, walking trails and RSPB and National Trust reserves. Tennis at the Country Club and golf on the established James Braid course can be arranged at nearby Thorpeness.
