  • "Three generations holidayed at 6 Whinlands."

    It’s a quirky cottage that catered well for all ages. The kitchen has everything we needed and the beds were super comfy and for me that is so important. Our only quibble and it’s a small one was the parking. There were no available spaces when we arrived. We had to unload further down the road and cart everything up to the house. Other than that, Thorpeness is such a stunning location and we were blessed with fantastic weather.

  • "Lovely period house - well appointed."

    Every comfort was there. One small suggestion is to improve the level of lighting over the dining table as we had people studying! It was so nice for all 3 generations of the family to be so well catered for and that none of the bedrooms were a compromise in any way, which we have often found to be an issue in other holiday lets.

  • "Thank you for the great stay at this lovely house."

    We had a wonderful base for our excursions. The weather didnt stop us! Southwold has something for everyone, nice walks but also great mini golf and arcade for the younger people in the family. We also had a great time at The Suffolk Show. The Suffolk punches are always a winner. Closer to home, the shell on the beach at sunset is beautiful!

  • "We have had a lovely stay in this beautiful house."

    So comfortable and just right for our extended family. We enjoyed trips to the beach and Sutton Hoo, Rendlesham and off for a boat trip today. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

The property

Just a short walk to the famous Meare in Thorpeness, 6 The Whinlands is in an ideal location for you to enjoy all the village has to offer.

Also suitable for a gathering of friends, the property is spacious and well-presented.

Your holiday begins as soon as you pull up outside the house and park up in the allocated parking space.

Guests are welcomed into a light and airy sitting area leading onto the stylish kitchen and dining area.

This is a wonderfully sociable space and you can imagine your guests gathering in various parts of the room with their favourite tipple in hand while the designated chef whips up delicacies in the kitchen.

Additionally on the ground floor is a very handy utility rooom with shower, perfect for washing off those sandy toes after a day at the beach.

There is a bedroom to suit everyone all of which are located on the first floor and all are stylishly presented and offer a welcoming sanctuary after a hard day of holidaying.

With two bathrooms there won’t be any queues either!

The garden is a real feature, wrapping around the property, ideal for the children and pet to explore while the adults can pull up a chair and enjoy some drinking and dining time alfresco.

Tempting as it is to not leave the house, you’ll be wanting to get out about and discover the delights of the local area.

Thorpeness Meare is literally on the doorstep with boating opportunities and a cafe to look forward to.

If you want to go a little further away then hop in the car and head out to attractions such as Framlingham Castle, Africa Alive Zoological Reserve, Easton Farm Park, Yoxford Antiques Centre and Gardens and Somerleyton Hall.

If you like a tipple then head off to Adnams Brewery, the English Whiskey Company or Shawsgate Vineyard or for some beautiful walks and hikes head to the Suffolk Coast and Heaths region which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
