Features

The Space

Entrance
Lucky guests are welcomed in to this outstanding property through the entrance porch from the front garden, into the family friendly, open plan living space, with uninterrupted views of the beach and sea. The ground floor has hard floors with rugs throughout.

Swimming Pool
The private, indoor heated swimming pool is through a lockable door and down some stone steps, to the right of the entrance hall. And if the pool isn't enough, there's a bubbling jacuzzi and steam room too.

The pool is 10m in length and 1.5m deep, with steps down into it. The cover is electric and the heating is automatically set to stay at around 28 degrees C.

Kitchen
This beautifully designed and crafted kitchen is ready and waiting for the chefs of the group to prepare the Christmas culinary creations. It's a social space with a breakfast bar at one end which leads to seating and the dining space.

Appliances in the kitchen include a huge electric range with two ovens, a grill and a six ring gas hob and extractor over. There's a full size integrated dishwasher, coffee machine, integrated microwave, under-counter fridge and other work-top appliances.

At the rear of the kitchen is a utility room which offers a large American style fridge freezer, another sink with worktops, a washing machine and dryer and there's a back door to the outside space. There is also an additional cooker with gas hob and a slimline dishwasher in the utility room.

Dining
The dining table extends to seat up to 12 guests with an additional leaf if required. The views of the beach from the dining table are dazzling at any time of the year.

Living
There are various carefully arranged seating areas in the living space which fully exploit the views whilst offering a cosy and intimate ambience. There's a wood burner for those wintery nights and plenty of wood provided by the owners.

You can even view what's happening in the pool through the glass windows (with blinds) if you wish.

TV Room
A cosy retreat for adults and children with massive wall mounted Smart TV which has full SKY.

First Floor
Wooden, floating stairs with strengthened glass handrail rise to the first floor where you'll find a huge landing with seating and a computer desk. The views from the landing are stunning from the balcony.

Guest can enjoy the four beautifully furnished bedrooms which all have en-suite bathrooms.

Spinneys Suite
The largest of the four bedrooms with super-king bed placed centrally, facing the beach.

The open-plan en-suite offers a free standing luxury bathtub with central mixer tap, a walk in shower which leads to a WC. Twin basins and lots of marble surface allow plenty of space for indulgent lotions and potions.

There is hanging space in the wardrobes and plenty of room for clothes in the drawers.

Sunset Bedroom
Positions at the front of the house, where the sun sets and with views of the famous Thorpeness 'House in the Clouds', this sophisticated bedroom has a super-king bed facing the windows and an en-suite bathroom. The en-suite has a bath with shower over, a wash basin and a WC.

Pink Bedroom
Another gorgeous with views of the beach and sea beyond, guests have a king sized bed and a large en-suite bathroom.

The en-suite has a centrally positioned bath, a separate walk in shower, a wash basin and a WC.

Blue Bedroom
Located at the front of the house, this bedroom offers another king sized bed and an en-suite bathroom with walk in shower and roll top bath room, with walk in shower, WC and wash basin.

Outside

The outside space wraps around the house.

Spinneys Boathouse (The Annex) may have a separate party of guests and Boathouse permits dogs. We therefore separate the outside decked area with temporary fencing.

A gate from the decking leads through a fenced grass area which is shared with the neighbours next door. There is another gate which then leads directly on to the beach.

Pool/Hot Tub

The private, indoor heated swimming pool is through a lockable door and down some stone steps, to the right of the entrance hall. And if the pool isn't enough, there's a bubbling jacuzzi and steam room too.

The pool is 10m in length and 1.5m deep, with steps down into it. There is no shallow end in the pool. The cover is electric and the heating is automatically set to stay at around 28 degrees C.

Guests are welcome to use the pool toys and exercise equipment kept in the pool area, at their own risk.

Parking

There is off-road parking for three cars on the drive.

Why book with us?

When you book with The Suffolk Cottage Collection, you're getting the best possible price- no hidden fees, no inflated commissions. And if you speak to us, chances are you'll chat with Donna, who turns bookings into a breeze and always goes the extra mile with a smile. "Donna was fantastic with communication. Nothing was ever too much trouble."

We are local

We're not just in Suffolk - we're part of it. Our little farmhouse HQ looks out over rolling fields and winding lanes, and when we pop out for a walk, it's usually through the same villages and footpaths you'll be exploring on your holiday. We're properly local - and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Always here to help you

No robots. No "please press 1." Just real people who pick up the phone and actually want to talk to you. Got a question? Want a recommendation? Need to know which pub does the best Sunday roast? We're here. And if we don't already know the answer, someone in the village probably does.

Handpicked with heart

We don't do bland. Every one of our cottages is chosen because it has something special - the kind of place we'd book ourselves (or proudly recommend to Mum). If it's in our collection, it's passed the The Suffolk Cottage Collection Standard: charm, comfort, and a sense of place you can feel the moment you step through the door.

Thorpeness

Thorpeness is home to a heathland Golf course and Country Club. During the warmer months there’s boating and kayaking on The Meare and the village is home to The Dolphin Inn, The Kitchen and a popular café next to the Meare.

The bustling seaside town of Aldeburgh is only a couple of kilometres down the road or beach if you'd like the walk.

Guests will need a car or taxi to get around the area. The bus routes are few and far between.

Guests are welcome to bring bikes and comfortable shoes as the area offers plenty of walking and cycle routes.
