Just a mile north of Aldeburgh is this fascinating seaside village, built in the 1920s by Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie, an architect, barrister and playwright. The mock Tudor style of building is now the hallmark of Thorpeness, where the amenities include the Dolphin Inn, the Thorpeness Hotel with its 18-hole golf club, a country club with tennis courts and the Meare - a large shallow boating lake with tearooms nearby. The beaches are mainly sandy and behind the village is a myriad of footpaths over heath and common land.

We booked this accommodation as we were attending a wedding at the country club that our son was not invited to. This was perfect location next door meaning our son could be on site with his grandparents while we were at wedding but still close by to check on him. Perfect location in a stunning place. Easy access to beach was great with our son. AnRead mored lovely walks from the doorstep. The car was only used once during our week stay. Hide
