A home away from home in the seaside village of Thorpeness, this modern and cosy property offers comfortable accommodation for up to five guests seeking a peaceful break. Thanks to its position within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this spot opens up wonderful opportunities for exploring the very best of the Heritage Suffolk Coast on foot or by car. It has a light-filled conservatory for kicking back with fellow guests, plus an enclosed garden that’s ideal for if you want to bring the dog.
The comfy living room contains inviting sofas where you can while away the evening watching some Smart TV accompanied by the crackling open fire. Sliding glass doors lead out to the lovely conservatory, a perfect spot for morning coffees while you hatch a plan for the coming day. Cook up yummy holiday meals in the well-equipped country kitchen, then serve them up in the separate dining room which overlooks the garden. Outside, furniture and a good-sized grassy lawn set you up for relaxed evenings making the most of the fresh Suffolk air.
Thorpeness is famous for its large, shallow artificial boating lake (500 metres) where you can hire dinghies, kayaks and punts for a fun afternoon out with the children. For a scenic walk, head south along the cliffs then descend to the shingle beach. You’ll eventually end up at Aldeburgh, 2 miles away. You’ll love exploring Aldeburgh’s quaint high street or enjoying some local history at the Red House (3 miles), home to the composer Benjamin Britten for nearly 20 years.
