Bring together friends and family in this striking holiday home overlooking the Meare at Thorpeness. Sleeping eight guests and one hound, the property is perfect for large get-togethers and celebrating special occasions. The holiday home boasts a large garden with a lawn and is just 160 metres from the beach, which welcomes four-pawed explorers all year. The property is 2 miles from the seaside resort of Aldeburgh.
The timber house is decorated in neutral tones, with subtle nautical touches throughout. The ground floor houses a spacious lounge, with sofas and armchairs to snuggle up on, and a cosy wood burner-effect electric fire providing a cosy dozing spot for Fido. The large kitchen/diner is a sociable area, with ample worktop space to cook up a feast, and a dining table to accommodate everyone. After dinner, why not enjoy a singsong around the piano? A shower room completes the ground floor. The four beautiful bedrooms are located upstairs. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite shower room, and there’s also a stylish bathroom on this level. Outside, a mature garden awaits, with a large lawn for the hairy hound to play on whilst you dine alfresco on the patio and soak up the tranquil views across the water.
The unique village of Thorpeness centres around a manmade Meare, which covers 3 acres and is dotted with Peter Pan-themed islands. You and your canine sidekick can hire a boat to go on a fairy-tale adventure to explore these tiny islands, followed by a picnic on the pretty, woof-friendly beach. There’s a lovely coastal walk from the village to the seaside town of Aldeburgh (2 miles). Here, you’ll find a great selection of paw-friendly eateries. There are some stunning doggy-friendly beaches along this stretch of coast, including Dunwich (10 miles) and Walberswick (14 miles).
