Spinney's Boathouse by The Suffolk Cottage Collection

Gem hidden, Spinney’s Boathouse On The Beach, Thorpeness, Suffolk. Beautiful, boathouse accommodation with stunning views over the beach/sea and the outstanding nature it has to offer. The Spinney’s Boathouse has a lovely kitchen/ living room together with everything you would need, even boardgames and books for your relaxing stay. The bedrooms and bathroom were spotless including the most comfy large bed. From the beach you can see Aldeburgh which is a lovely walk along the beach or walk along the beach in the other directions to the heart of Thorpeness. This picture postcard village has a fabulous cafe with a delicious bakery, which leads to a large antiques store. Opposite on the village green there is another tea room overlooking a huge lake (you can hire boats), and a duck pond. Turn another corner and you will find the Dolphin Inn servicing delicious food and the sister inn The Parrot, in nearby Aldringham, is well worth a visit. We would highly recommend The Spinney’s Boathouse On The Beach, please book, (we would like to revisit) and enjoy the lovely memories as we did on our stay with our puppies (which were warmly received). The Spinney’s Boathouse On The Beach, Thorpeness, Suffolk, hidden Gem.

Nothing to not like

clean, warm, comfortable

Wonderful location, easy walk into both Thorpeness & Aldeburgh.

The main bedroom was a little tight & the hot water didn’t stay on long enough for 3 quick showers at a time. We could have done with more mugs and bigger water glasses (however I know we drink a lot of water).

location great-boathouse wonderfully placed for beach and near to road without being troubled by traffic in any way.

Some sort of curtains/basic blinds needed for upper bedroom which is not too comfortable Sofa shabby and dirty Lounge curtains shabby and don't cover the window when drawn Lounge dresser unit shabby/dirty Pipes around sinks/radiators dirty/dusty. Bathroom mat needs cleaning Welcome pack minimal- scourer and 3 washer tabs plus cloth Info pack ranks somewhere between useless and officious whilst being none too informative Area around the property strewn with broken, rusted bits and bobs - mostly placed in full view outside boathouse entrance and windows- Rusted garden swing, rusty bbq in a torn cover, flower pots. Feeling that the boathouse is very much secondary to main house

Amazing location
