About this property

This lovely farm house provides a wonderful base for exploring the stunning coastline of Suffolk. Th

This lovely farm house provides a wonderful base for exploring the stunning coastline of Suffolk. The house is tucked away on a no-through road in Thorpeness, close to the beach and meare and not far from Aldeburgh. The downstairs space is open-plan and gives you lots of room to relax in whilst the second sitting room has the added benefit of having a wood burning stove to come back to having been out exploring the area. The kitchen is well equipped with a conventional aga range cooker, large American style fridge freezer and dishwasher. The televisions downstairs have a Sky package whilst the master bedroom upstairs also has a television.

Outside is a large enclosed garden which backs onto the practice range for Thorpeness Golf Club. The pretty Victorian seaside town of Aldeburgh is only a short drive away or if you feel like some exercise, it is a lovely walk along the beach and past Maggie Hambling's famous scallop sculpture.

Alexander House is available throughout the year, sleeping 13 guests - you can view the house and prices for this option here. The options to sleep 4 or 6 guests are only available in the quieter periods outside of school holidays.

8/10 Good

Quiet Position
This house is tucked away at the end of a lane (no through road) with only dog walkers passing by, so nice and quiet. The pub is a stroll away and the beach an easy walk. There is a gate through to the golf course but I'm not sure if this to be used. Super large family room / kitchen, comfy seating (plenty of it) light and airy house. Off road parking Sadly we experienced a heating problem when we visited but Suffolk Hideaways were quick to try to sort it out.

Great house and location
Really enjoyed the house, it was clean and comfy and on the golf course and just 60 yards from the pub. The only negative points were no tea, coffee or milk provided on arrival. The super king mattress in the master was a bit hard round the edges and the bins have to be wheeled right down the lane to be emptied ! Very small points were no tumblers for a G&T or squash and very small mugs !

A wonderful stay
Alexander House was just perfect. The quality of the bedding, towels, kitchen equipment was first class (except for the knives which were bent and blunt. We’ve learned over the years to take our own, we just forgot this time) I would recommend this house, especially for a large family group. We would definitely stay again
