Property code: OC-AB2TL

This luxurious apartment boasts sea views and is set within the grounds of Thorpeness’s esteemed country club. The property sleeps four guests and one hound and would make a delightful couples’ retreat or coastal bolthole for a small family. Less than 100 metres from the apartment is the beach, which welcomes furry visitors all year. You’ll also be just 300 metres from the Meare.

The stunning two-storey apartment has a reverse-level layout and is decorated in neutral tones with little luxurious touches to make your stay feel extra special. The property is bathed in natural light and enjoys far-reaching views out to sea from its first-floor living area. On the ground floor, you’ll find two bedrooms – a king-size and a twin – overlooking the beach. The king-size has an en-suite shower room, and there’s also a stylish family bathroom. Upstairs, the lounge/diner is a stunning place to unwind, with a choice of comfortable seating arranged and a large dining table for spending mealtimes together. There’s also a breakfast bar in the separate kitchen for informal dining. The apartment has no outside space, but with the beach on your doorstep, you’ll find plenty of space to walk the woofer and fill your lungs with fresh, sea air.

The woof-friendly sand and shingle beach is backed by pastel-coloured villas and cottages, and is a charming place for a morning walk with your four-pawed chum, with views looking across to Aldeburgh and Dunwich. A 2-mile walk along the coast path will bring you to the seaside town of Aldeburgh. The town has a vibrant arts scene, and you’ll find plenty of galleries to explore, as well as some beautiful sculptures dotted throughout the town. Be sure to sample the iconic fish and chips when you’re here, too.

Lovely quality accommodation with view of the sea. Unusual problem in that bathroom toilet was initially unavailable but the owner arranged for an emergency plumber to attend twice to resolve this during our stay. This was greatly appreciated & did not have an effect on our overall holiday experience.

Upon arrival the apartment looked lovely. However there were a few issues with both bathrooms which meant we left 2 days early. Generally the place was fine but needs a little TLC to make it a lovely place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay. The location of the apartment is obviously fantastic - to look out and see the sea and walk on the beach within less than a minute is priceless. We found the apartment very comfortable and well equipped, with some lovely touches. The owner was both professional and friendly, and responded immediately if we asked a questiRead moreon. We will be staying again. Thank you Jenny Hide

Lovely location. Excellent views. Nice decor. Well equipped kitchen. Downsides: downstairs rooms smelt musty, not helped by extractor fan not working in bathroom. The standard of cleaning let's an otherwise lovely property down
