The rooms were spacious, clean and extremely comfortable. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful - on reception, in the dining room and the bar. When they realised one of us had mobility issues, they went out of their way to make sure that things were made as easy as possible. The breakfasts are superb. Overall, a marvellous hotel with staff to be proud of.

A good option for Thorpeness

Good value, but rooms really need some attention. Clean though, and the superking bed was massive. Nice view over the putting green. Breakfast was excellent in a lovely room, and the service from the woman at breakfast was faultless.

Excellent base for the Suffolk area

Thorpeness is a good base to visit the Suffolk coast and surrounding area. We stayed midweek in a very hot spell of weather....and had a wonderful few days. A few minutes walk to the main lake - you can sit by the hotel if you don't want to walk, but there are steps. 15 mins or so walk to the beach, albeit a very stoney one, but a nice breeze once you're there. We ate (and had a few drinks!) in The Dolphin, which was lovely, and walked into Aldeburgh. That took almost an hour because we kept stopping to look at things! The Scallop sculpture, scenery etc. But Southwold was our favourite. Half hour drive, and well worth the day to wander round the town, have lunch and enjoy the sandy beach. Be careful on the beach though, as the tide comes in about 3.00.....we nearly lost our chairs!! But a lovely place to stay. Breakfast was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed. No air con in our room, but it wasn't that bad at all. We slept pretty well...and it was hot! Would recommend.
