The Red House, Aldeburgh

Attended with my daughter today and participated in the Easter activities. The staff were brilliant. A great range of tasks which were interactive so the children could get fully involved. My thanks to your staff for planning and running such a brilliant event.

Myself, Daughter and Granddaughter visited on a very wet day a few days ago. We had decided a Cultural Visit would be just the thing how wrong were we. Firstly we were not advised re the headphones however we enjoyed looking at the exhibits behind Reception we then went into the Library which is beautiful the soft furniture had ropes across but the Refrectory table and benches did not as an avid reader I wanted to look at the titles of the books lower down I therefore sat on one of the benches for a good few mins before being very rudely approached and spoken to like a naughty child by a young Woman!! No need for the telling off put up signs requesting not to sit there. We then left the Library and went into the Red House to be greeted by what I can only describe as an officious jobsworth Woman who made us feel like Burglars! She was not informative at all just spoke about what she thought would have occurred in each room. As an aside the overshoes you are made to wear are extremely dangerous especially for older people far too large and slippery, I ended up changing into the blue plastic ones. We were not told there was an opportunity to view upstairs either although to be honest we couldn't wait to leave. The so called Croquet Lawn was full of uneven lumps and bumps, clearly the flower beds in Spring and Autumn would be lovely. All in all not a friendly place to visit. I wiuld not recommend to anyone. We then visited Moot Hall which was a delight full of really interesting information well laid out and two lovely approachable Guides well worth going to.

Although I'm only taking my daughter to work in the morning, Red House is the home of the late Sir Benjamin Britain. Being Britain's best loved composer and conductor of the 20th century. Situated in Aldeburgh on the east coast, it's well worth a visit especially spring and summer when the gardens are in full bloom, Visit the house ect, they have a website where you can find out more information.
