What can guests enjoy when staying in the Thorpeness area?
The Meare is within walking distance of the house, and here you may rent a boat to explore the Pirate's lair, Wendy's home, and Captain's house, to mention a few. Guests can also rent kayaks, dinghies, and canoes. Golfers will be keen to take to the 18-hole championship course, which is widely considered as one of the best heathland courses in the UK. A swim in the sea is always a must on hot days, and Thorpeness boasts a lovely shingle beach. Aldeburgh, a popular seaside town, is located along the coast. The town is home to a thriving art and music scene, as well as a lively high street lined with independent stores, cafes, and restaurants. If you can pull yourself away from the stunning Suffolk coast, there's plenty more to see, from the imposing castles of Framlingham and Orford to the mediaeval towns of the wool trade like Lavenham and Long Melford.
Where can guests enjoy food and drink?
The Dolphin Inn, directly across the street, serves a delicious Sunday lunch, or head to The Kitchen for a light bite. Head along the coast to the popular seaside town of Aldeburgh, a true foodie heaven, with its abundance of delis and tasty restaurants.
