Brilliant location, great views, plenty of room, good facilities.
Lovely little village. We found some great walks in and around the area which were very pretty and interesting. The Emporium was fun to look around and there was a good selection of places to eat for such a small place.

Seems not many people have heard of Thorpeness, and niether had I before finding it this summer. It was created in the early 1900's as a holliday village in a mock tudor style. Very calm and lots of character. Right next to the sea, shingle beach, quite a few swimmers in August.
If you are looking for a relaxing stay next to the sea it's perfect.

Unfortunately the weather was against me enjoying the outdoors as much as I would have liked. However the potential is there with some nice walks for someone fitter than I am.
The town is so attractive with its lake and prettily designed houses.
The beach is stony but less so at low tide. It is only a couple of minutes from where I stayed and I would certainly have spent more time searching for interesting stones had the weather been warmer and drier.
The Antique Emporium is interesting - but worth checking some of those in surrounding villages.
Thorpeness is a very good location for enjoying immediate surroundings but also for visiting many interesting places nearby.
I particularly enjoyed the small weekly Tuesday market and local shops at Framlingham.
Many of the small towns have their own museums and I particularly enjoyed Dunwich explaining the history of the lost city beneath the sea. With a free car park at the stony beach where it is possible to hunt for amber and a rather good cafe with excellent hot chocolate and fruit cake it is a real pleasure to visit, especially with a brisk cool wind at the end of a damp May!!!
I would certainly return as there are so many interesting places to visit.

Lovely village to walk around. The boating lake is central to everything. Go and visit the Thorpness emporium for a look around followed by a coffee @the kitchen.
If you are looking for a good pub for dinner go to The Dolphin Inn, a good menu and its dog friendly; as are lots of eateries in the area.

Thorpeness is a designer village based around a shallow boating pond called The Meare and a tennis courts etc.It is on the beach with plenty of parking close to it. There is no village shop so you would need to go down the coast to get supplies.

Thorpeness is a busy village.
Thorpeness is a busy village. It has both the sea & the river. There is a cafe, which serves delicious food but is a bit pricey. There is a duck pond & boating lake. A pub & tea rooms. A short drive or walk in fine weather is Aldeburgh. Both places are very doggie friendly
Quiet location. Parking right in front of house. Spotlessly clean. Warm. Spacious light and airy rooms. Comfortable beds. Downstairs toilet plus 2 bathrooms. Kitchen very well equipped even an electric whisk.. Thorpeness is a unique village and a delight to walk around. Would stay here again.
