Places to Stay in Thorpeness.

Thorpeness is unlike anywhere else in England: the boating Meare, the House in the Clouds rising over the trees, mock-Tudor cottages and a beach all of its own.

It was purpose-built as a fantasy holiday village in the early 1900s and has lost almost none of that strangeness.

Hire a rowing boat on the Meare, walk the coast path to Aldeburgh in 40 minutes, and have lunch at the Dolphin.

Children, in particular, never quite forget Thorpeness.

That mix is exactly what makes places to stay in Thorpeness so worthwhile for the right kind of guest.

We've spent years curating the kinds of places to stay we'd actually book ourselves: characterful, comfortable, properly clean and run with care.
