Right by the beach.

Stayed in June 2024

Sofa a bit tired and not that comfy. No tin opener.

Beautiful location right next to the beach. Great walks from the door to Thorpeness and Aldeburgh. Beds really comfy. Very clean. Easy to find - perfect for dog walks. A great base for exploring the coast.

The property was very small. The second bedroom upstairs had no door, it made it noisy if others were up early.

The location was amazing. The house is beautifully decorated and well maintained.

Perhaps consider some curtains for the loft bedroom. It is still getting light very early in the morning. A part of the shower trim had fallen off and was clearly going that way before we arrived. The layout downstairs was a little odd as the cutlery was in the sitting area in the dresser and access was slightly cramped getting round the breakfast bar.

The location is outstanding. Right next to the beach and the sea was warm. Pebble beach so make sure you have protective footwear! The chalet is close to Thorpeness village with a fantastic Kitchen for breakfast etc. and good pub. The walks around the area are interesting and varied. The chalet itself is cosy with a genuinely 'beachy' feel about it. An outside area for get togethers is a great touch with a stove. TV has Sky and there are games etc. There is a very large safe area for dogs to roam and play which is enclosed. Parking is safe and off road. Nice touch to have a dishwasher.

Nothing to not like

Gem hidden, Spinney’s Boathouse On The Beach, Thorpeness, Suffolk. Beautiful, boathouse accommodation with stunning views over the beach/sea and the outstanding nature it has to offer. The Spinney’s Boathouse has a lovely kitchen/ living room together with everything you would need, even boardgames and books for your relaxing stay. The bedrooms and bathroom were spotless including the most comfy large bed. From the beach you can see Aldeburgh which is a lovely walk along the beach or walk along the beach in the other directions to the heart of Thorpeness. This picture postcard village has a fabulous cafe with a delicious bakery, which leads to a large antiques store. Opposite on the village green there is another tea room overlooking a huge lake (you can hire boats), and a duck pond. Turn another corner and you will find the Dolphin Inn servicing delicious food and the sister inn The Parrot, in nearby Aldringham, is well worth a visit. We would highly recommend The Spinney’s Boathouse On The Beach, please book, (we would like to revisit) and enjoy the lovely memories as we did on our stay with our puppies (which were warmly received). The Spinney’s Boathouse On The Beach, Thorpeness, Suffolk, hidden Gem.

Wasn't happy with £110 cleaning fee yet we had to strip beds take bins out ect. There was no vacume in the cupboards.

Location was amazing and room was good think a smart TV may be better than fully loaded sky box.

The main bedroom was a little tight & the hot water didn’t stay on long enough for 3 quick showers at a time. We could have done with more mugs and bigger water glasses (however I know we drink a lot of water).

Wonderful location, easy walk into both Thorpeness & Aldeburgh.

Amazing location

Great location for a short break enjoying the local area. Property perfect for our group and outside space fantastic for relaxing in both morning and evening. Everything we needed for a perfect stay was there for us. Communication before and during stay was spot on and response was quick.

location was superb, beautiful views from bedroom

The only little niggle is that we were requested to keep our dog (a 5kg mini dachshund) on a lead - so he couldn't run in the little yard between the cottage and the beach. I think the owner (or whoever was in the big house adjacent) has dogs, but still it would have been nice for ours to be able to run around and sniff.

Well decorated little cottage (and most aren't nicely decorated!) literally on the beach. Comfortable bed (see my last sentence!)

The directions provided for the property were not accurate. The pre-arrival information pack was not accessible and so we didn't know whether we needed own towels etc. We did ask for the info to be sent in a different format, twice, but received no response. The entire place absolutely stank of fish, so much that when trying to dry after a shower, it was like drying with a fish as the towels stank so badly of fish, utterly repulsive. The heater didn't work in the bathroom and so it was absolutely unbearably freezing at a time when the outside temp was zero degrees. Reported the issue on night one and got a plug in heater on the evening of night two. Although there are beds for 6 people, this place is only just big enough for 4 people. It just felt a little unkept.... Standard lamp not working, heater not working, shower wouldn't turn off, plug stuck in the bath.... The location is perfect, albeit absolutely empty during January, literally not anyone around, no lights on in any houses, really eery but very peaceful. We wouldn't return here.

Adequate for 2 person.

Some sort of curtains/basic blinds needed for upper bedroom which is not too comfortable Sofa shabby and dirty Lounge curtains shabby and don't cover the window when drawn Lounge dresser unit shabby/dirty Pipes around sinks/radiators dirty/dusty. Bathroom mat needs cleaning Welcome pack minimal- scourer and 3 washer tabs plus cloth Info pack ranks somewhere between useless and officious whilst being none too informative Area around the property strewn with broken, rusted bits and bobs - mostly placed in full view outside boathouse entrance and windows- Rusted garden swing, rusty bbq in a torn cover, flower pots. Feeling that the boathouse is very much secondary to main house

location great-boathouse wonderfully placed for beach and near to road without being troubled by traffic in any way.

the bed was low and uncomfortable as were the pillows. we did not sleep well. the seating in the living are was also uncomfortable, very well worn and low to sit on causing back ache. there was no wardrobe in the bedroom only hooks on the wall to hang clothes. there was a cupboard which was not suitable for clothes storage but did look good! a full length mirror would have been useful, we found one under the bed, very dusty, when we were doing a last check to make sure we hadnt left anything. the info brochure in the house is out of date. i tried to send an email to the address in the brochure but it could not be delivered

the location was good next to the beach. the view of the beach was great but a shame it was only from the bedroom and bathroom. the area is very nice with lots of interesting walks.
