This is a beautiful and comfortable house in a great location but not easy to find in the dark! No street lights so road names not easily seen! Very lovely area, peaceful, close to beach, good food at pub next door. Close to Leiston and Aldeburgh for shopping.

Staying at Whinlands Thorpness is like being part of history. The house has a very well equipped kitchen and as we were there in winter, very efficient central heating. Good sized living room for a large group and the dining room also good.

This property was ideal for a family break. It was very well equipped, warm and cosy. The location was perfect for long walks with children and dogs.

The property has a good location in Thorpeness, right next to the Dolphin which is a great Pub/Restaurant. However although the property is quite old and you must expect some quirkiness it was not very well maintained. The radiator in the first floor shower room was very rusty with paint peeling off and the one in the groundfloor shower room was alRead moreso badly stained. The upstairs landing carpet was stained in several places. Several blinds were broken - reported to Suffolk Secrets twice by phone! Hide
