Customer Reviews
Lovely cottage overlooking the lake, spacious, clean and nicely decorated! Location is perfect. Thorpeness is very cute with lovely places to eat and drink and people are very friendly. There isn’t a shop nearby so plan ahead or bring own groceries/toiletries etc.
Samantha – Oct 2024
Absolutely lovely
Gilli – Jun 2024
A lovely home and first class location – Great value for money too. This is a great location for a short break. Thorpeness is a ‘one off’ creation from the early 20th Century. The local pub has great food and the cafe just yards from 5 The Haven is a treat – massive portions – so share ! The house was immaculate. We were only a party of three but we could see how up to nine persons would be just as comfortable. Parking at the rear of the property and in front on the road. The decor was very easy on the eye and it was spotless. March is chilly but we were incredibly cosy in there. A good hour long walk to Aldeburgh along the beach is a must. We have already recommended the property to many within the family. Great value for a family get together.

This is a beautiful home in a perfect location. The house is immaculate and well equipped. The views are stunning and we didn’t want to leave.

Gorgeous house, gorgeous location, easy parking, tranquil.
Carolyn – Sep 2023
Great place in a beautiful setting overlooking the Meare and very close to the beach. Just as described, with all the facilities and equipment that you could need. Excellent service all round. Would highly recommend.
Naomi – May 2023
Great location, comfortable and really well equipped. This is a lovey property. We really enjoyed our stay. The house is perfectly located and one of the best equipped that we have stayed in.
Geoffrey – November 2022
We had a great stay in 5 The Haven. The house accommodated us easily with plenty of space to socialise, sleep, cook and eat. The house has a modern kitchen and bathrooms but with lots of lovely rustic features and decor. We loved reading about the history of the house. The view of the Meare is wonderful and Thorpeness is a great location in itself and also in terms of accessing the local area. We would definitely return!
Pamela – April 2022

Louise – April 2022

Bobby – March 2022
What an amazing place! Great views; quiet, clean and warm. Looking forward to our next stay!
Tony – March 2022
This is a really nice house overlooking the water and in perfect striking distance for Aldeburgh, Snape, Southwold etc. The rooms – especially the kitchen/dining/sitting room floor – are much bigger than you’d guess from looking at the pictures on this website, and the whole place is in really good nick. It also has the best-equipped kitchen of any rental cottage I’ve ever been to – proper knives, pans etc but also stuff like a big le Creuset casserole, a fish kettle, a funky lemon squeezer and generally any implement you could possibly need for some ambitious cooking. The bathrooms etc are of a similar standard. In short, highly recommended.
Chris – February 2022
This was an amazing house – so clean upon arrival and so much more than we expected in the property. A perfect location for walking along the beach all the way to Aldeburgh for fish and chips on the beach. The dolphin pub up the road provided a fantastic Saturday night dinner. Somewhere we’d love to return to soon!
Beccy – January 2022
A really fantastic house in a lovely village. The house is very relaxing and comfortable, incredibly clean and spacious, and equipped perfectly. The view over the Meare is wonderful- it was great to wake up each day and see the water. The village is very charming, and the coastline is very nice to explore. A really lovely week away
Joseph – January 2022
Really lovely house in perfect location . The meare view is beautiful and house is only 2 mins walk to the sea for early morning dips. Communication through Aldeburgh Coastal Cottages also great. Would visit again. Thank you.
Helen – November 2021
The house was amazing and had every possible thing you could need. We had fabulous weather the whole week and spent nearly all our time around and about the garden just watching the world go by. Opposite the mere there was always something going on with people out on boats. The beach was on our doorstep as well. Would stay there again in a heartbeat
Susan – October 2021
Absolutely wonderful place. Immaculately clean and well kitted out. Beds were very comfy with plenty of space. The area is fantastic with loads to do for both adults and children. Highly recommended. Will definitely be back!
Nicholas – August 2021
We had a brilliant time at The Haven and the house is exactly what we needed. It was really well equipped for a big group – comfy beds and great bathrooms and we had lots of great dinners both inside, and outside on the table over looking the Thorpeness Meare. The view is truly lovely and it’s so close to the beach too. We had a great time doing lots of walking (Aldeburgh is a lovely walk along the coast), and exploring local towns. Thank you so much for having us we would definitely come back!
Imogen – July 2021
We had a wonderful stay despite the weather. The house is perfectly located, walking distance to the beach, pub, golf-club and with a glorious outlook onto the meare. The interior is clean and lovingly refurbished and the kitchen is very well kitted out – we even baked during our stay.
Kate – May 2021
Fantastic, comfortable home, lots of wardrobe and drawer space, well appointed kitchen for baking and a great choice of board games. We loved our stay.
Mary Mulvey-Oates – October 2020
Great place in a perfect location.
Jamie Barwick – July 2020
This is a stylishly decorated and well maintained property. The kitchen was very well equipped and the music system, games and visitor information added a lot to our stay. We loved Thorpeness too, the house has a great view over the Mere and it’s close to the beech. The perfect location for a family holiday, highly recommended!
Nigel Roberts – February 2020
Impeccable property, really beautifully finished and a pleasure to stay in. Fab location and communication from the hosts. 5 star rating from start to finish! Highly recommend.
Miriam – December 2019
Such a great house for my family get away. The house is big, spotlessly clean, has a well equipped kitchen and in a great location. I would highly recommend booking this house, especially if you’re travelling with a large group of people.
