Lovely light and spacious house, good for larger groups, good modern appliances and great location. Its a pity the council dont empty the rubbish bins weekly and the previous holidaymakers hadnt taken their empty bottles to the bottle bank - the maintenance man kindly did that. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend this property

The cottage is in a great location, but more attention to detail would make a big difference to the experience.

This is a beautiful and comfortable house in a great location but not easy to find in the dark! No street lights so road names not easily seen! Very lovely area, peaceful, close to beach, good food at pub next door. Close to Leiston and Aldeburgh for shopping.

Staying at Whinlands Thorpness is like being part of history. The house has a very well equipped kitchen and as we were there in winter, very efficient central heating. Good sized living room for a large group and the dining room also good.
