Holiday Rental Description

Holiday home
A charming holiday cottage ideally located in the picture-perfect Suffolk seaside village of Thorpeness. Ideal for a couple looking to get away from it all in stylish accommodation. Thorpeness is one of Suffolk's best-kept secrets. Just a mile and a half along the beach from Aldeburgh, this charming holiday village was largely designed by the Scottish playwright and barrister Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie a century ago. He decided to create an idyllic model seaside village, inspired by the writings of JM Barrie, author of Peter Pan. The village has a meare which can be explored in the summer time by rowing boat. Plus, there's tennis courts and a games room at the nearby Thorpeness Country Club during the summer months. Keen walkers (either two legs or four paws!) will enjoy the area as it's ideal for walking and cycling, both along the coast and the inland countryside. You can then relax and put your feet up in your cosy cottage after a day exploring all that Suffolk has to offer. The views over the meare in the living room and front patio really are rather spectacular. Picture yourself opening a bottle of something cool and bubbly whilst taking in the magic of Thorpenss meare.
