Everything

Played golf on 31.01.26. Have played here before and cannot recommend the course enough. In fabulous condition for the time of year. A lot of bunkers were designated as ground under repair which tells me the commitment to ongoing improvements. Lovely, true greens, tee boxes are very good. Welcoming staff. Thoroughly recommended. Can’t wait to play there again.

You don’t have to be golfers to have a lovely stay. With our fox terrier, Floss, we had a one night in Room 22. The room was large and on the ground floor. It had all the facilities you need for a short stay: kettle, tea bag’s etc, hair dryer. Lovely king size bed, very comfortable mattress and bedding. En-suite had a shower over the bath. Shower pressure was very good. Didn’t like the shampoo and shower gel fixed to the stand but hey ho. No dog bed, bowls or treats supplied for the dog but we had our own anyway. We had dinner in the bar (calamari for him and chicken pie for me) both very nicely presented and very tasty. Next morning we enjoyed a cooked breakfast (also nicely presented and good quality). All staff we came across were welcoming and friendly. We had a very lovely time and left there feeling we’d enjoyed a treat.

Amazing location - overlooking The Mere and only minutes to the beach. All of the staff were friendly and helpful.

Rooms were clean and spacious but in need of a little update in places.

We booked Christmas Day Lunch for our immediate family. From the outset the reception staff were exceptional, organising a table where our dogs would be welcome away from Christmas crackers etc and arranging alternative courses to suite all requests ie allowing choice from classic and vegetarian menus. On the day the six course menu was beautifully cooked and presented, how the Chef and kitchen, waiting and other staff managed to serve so many people at exactly 1p.m. is beyond belief - well done to them. Overall, from the manager down, all the staff were attentive, caring, polite with an obvious intent in carrying out their various duties as professionally as they could. They even provided a specific wine which was not on their usual list but requested in advance. The ambience was cosy with open fires, you immediately felt welcome and at home . After dinner coffees were served in the lounges which were tastefully decorated with no pressure to leave. We, as a family were suitably impressed, very pleased with the whole experience and at a competitive cost. Thank you all and a very Happy New Year to all those involved. We would recommend Thorpeness Golf and Country Club Hotel, not only for golf but for any occasion where hospitality and catering are desired.

We love this place - not glitzy or making luxury claims - a lovely atmosphere in the bar with the golfers, dog-friendly, and great food. Roast beef Sunday lunch was delicious and plentiful, and reasonable at £17, but lots of other choices are on the menu. Our waitress was chatty, and kindly provided a water bowl for the dog, and some biscuits. Great dog walks in the local area. There is also a nice lounge looking out over the lake, where we had a late morning coffee while reading the Sunday papers.
