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.
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.
Beautiful location right next to the beach. Great walks from the door to Thorpeness and Aldeburgh. Beds really comfy. Very clean. Easy to find - perfect for dog walks. A great base for exploring the coast.
Thorpeness is a delightful place to visit. 1 South Cotrages was a lovely place to stay. Only small problem was the stairs they were very steep and narrow.
