“The White Lion's beachfront location in Aldeburgh is undeniably appealing, especially with its dog-friendly ethos extending to complimentary treats and easy beach access. I appreciate that it features two on-site restaurants, though the Indian option, Sea Spice, is a clear standout. While some rooms may show their age, the overall experience balances traditional charm with the comforts of a coastal getaway.”
