Unfortunately the weather was against me enjoying the outdoors as much as I would have liked. However the potential is there with some nice walks for someone fitter than I am.
The town is so attractive with its lake and prettily designed houses.
The beach is stony but less so at low tide. It is only a couple of minutes from where I stayed and I would certainly have spent more time searching for interesting stones had the weather been warmer and drier.
The Antique Emporium is interesting - but worth checking some of those in surrounding villages.
Thorpeness is a very good location for enjoying immediate surroundings but also for visiting many interesting places nearby.
I particularly enjoyed the small weekly Tuesday market and local shops at Framlingham.
Many of the small towns have their own museums and I particularly enjoyed Dunwich explaining the history of the lost city beneath the sea. With a free car park at the stony beach where it is possible to hunt for amber and a rather good cafe with excellent hot chocolate and fruit cake it is a real pleasure to visit, especially with a brisk cool wind at the end of a damp May!!!
I would certainly return as there are so many interesting places to visit.

Lovely village to walk around. The boating lake is central to everything. Go and visit the Thorpness emporium for a look around followed by a coffee @the kitchen.
If you are looking for a good pub for dinner go to The Dolphin Inn, a good menu and its dog friendly; as are lots of eateries in the area.

Thorpeness is a designer village based around a shallow boating pond called The Meare and a tennis courts etc.It is on the beach with plenty of parking close to it. There is no village shop so you would need to go down the coast to get supplies.

Thorpeness is a busy village.
Thorpeness is a busy village. It has both the sea & the river. There is a cafe, which serves delicious food but is a bit pricey. There is a duck pond & boating lake. A pub & tea rooms. A short drive or walk in fine weather is Aldeburgh. Both places are very doggie friendly

We have been coming to Thorpeness since the 1960's.
We have been coming to Thorpeness since the 1960's. Irrespective of massive changes to the ownership of the "estate" the village, mere and beach still retain their charm. Its our favourite watering hole in the entire UK.
For me it is a great swimming beach but parents should note that the sea floor shelves quickly and tide and currents can be dangerous.

A small village with a very large boating waterways for holidaymakers. The golf course is first class. The whole area is great as a base with plenty of place to visit such as Aldburgh and Leiston only a few miles away. Plenty opf choice of pubs and caffes in the surrounding area but peaceful if you want that. Definitely worth a visit.
The location is excellent, right in the middle of the holiday village of Thorpeness which is quaint, busy in the day and quiet at night. The restaurant is busy , though and worth booking. The rooms are lovely, very individual, well thought out and exceptionally clean, warm and welcoming. Tea and coffee facilities were good quality. The staff are truly lovely, friendly but not over friendly and the food was excellent. Their breakfast choices are wonderfully eclectic and locally sourced. We love this place and return regularly.
The location is fantastic, it’s a five minute walk to the beach and if you enjoy the history of Thorpeness was apparently one of the early properties.
It is just down the road from the “house in the clouds” and two minutes from The Dolphin pub and The Kitchen, both great places to eat out.
There are footpaths straight from the property and you probably won’t need to get in the car again for your stay as Aldeburgh is a reasonable walk.
The location was ideal as I had a golf competition at Aldeburgh GC and Lyn loves to walk along the beach.
The little studio flat was just right for a 2 night stay.
The facilities were excellent and communications perfect.
We had a meal at the local pub on the first night and for the 2nd night went into Aldeburgh.
Quiet location. Parking right in front of house. Spotlessly clean. Warm. Spacious light and airy rooms. Comfortable beds. Downstairs toilet plus 2 bathrooms. Kitchen very well equipped even an electric whisk.. Thorpeness is a unique village and a delight to walk around. Would stay here again.
It was a lovely new and clean, well designed property with great finishings. In walking distance to the beach and little village of Thorpeness with a couple of great cafes and a lovely welcoming pub with great food. walking distance (45 mins) to Aldeburgh. Free parking.
Location in Thorpeness, half way between Southwold and Sutton Hoo that we were visiting, and a walk from Aldeburgh. complementary nibbles and wine - very thoughtful. Phonecall to say it was ready before the checking in time in case we wanted to get there early.
My two friends and I were on a bicycle tour of Sussex. Thorpeness Golf Club hotel met all our expectations during our two night stay. The rooms, breakfast and dinner and time at the bar were most enjoyable and we would thoroughly recommend it.
Beds so cosy! 3 bedrooms, nice kitchen, garden, parking. Thorpeness is such a relaxing place to stay, so to be within easy walking distance of the pub, lake, beach, etc was great. Aldeburgh do close (with more shops), and very nice too.
The property itself was very comfortable and clean. Location was excellent, plenty to do and experience in Thorpeness and surrounding areas. The area felt very safe and family friendly, great cycle routes.
We loved the village and how close we were to everything, the hotel was great value, the bed was super comfortable and the grounds, food and staff were great.
lovely room with lovely coffees etc. Felt a bit like a boutique hotel room.
Food excellent breakfast great and ate in the pub for evening meal as well.
