Customer Reviews
We had a wonderful time staying at Meare House. The location was perfect. The house was ideal, clean, well presented and well equipped. We’d definitely come again.
Claire – Mar 2024
A lovely place in a quiet location within walkable distance to a great restaurant (The Dolphin). It suited our combined family group of 7 as all 4 bedrooms had access to individual bathrooms and everyone felt as though they had their own space. The communal areas were great for relaxing in en masse and had everything you would expect in terms of entertainment (TV / Sat, Sonos, games etc) We would be more than happy to revisit on another occasion.
Peter – Feb 2024
Lovely house in a lovely location, a wonderful place to celebrate New Years with our family. Very clean, dog and child friendly with everything you need. Great room sizes and a wonderful welcome with flowers and fizz. We would love to come back and stay again in the summer as the village is beautiful and so close to the beach. Great hosts who reply very promptly. Would highly recommend.
Jessica – Jan 2024
Lovely property, conveniently located within walking distance to pubs and restaurants and only 2 minutes from the beach. Would highly recommend a stay for a peaceful, private and relaxing getaway.
Steve – March 2023
Lovely house, well equipped and comfortable. We particularly appreciated how warm and cosy it was!
Gillian – March 2023
We had 9 of us ladies stay for the weekend and the place was big enough for us. The beds were so comfortable. The house was beautiful. and just a short walk up the road either way was a beautiful pub one way where we had a beautiful steak for dinner and a cafe the other way in the morning where we had a gorgeous breakfast. so all in all a really fab stay and highly recommend xxx
Claire – March 2023
Meare House was perfect for a family getaway with young children. Especially liked the stair gates in kitchen so we could keep the dogs/children contained, the well stocked kitchen and the choice of toys/games/books. The nespresso coffee machine was a bonus too! Really good location and easy to get to, Thorpeness is definitely worth a visit. My sister has already booked the house again for her and friends in November and we plan to return next year. Many thanks!!
Liz – January 2023
Had a wonderful time here with the family. Lovely location for walks and great rooms. Thanks
Chris – December 2022
An enjoyable stay right in the heart of Thorpeness. The house is well equipped, comfortable and well laid out. We really appreciated the call to let us know that the property was ready ahead of time. Well located with excellent access to Suffolk’s heritage coast.
Jenny – November 2022
Fabulous house and location! Highly recommend for families and adult groups. We were parents with 3 grown up children plus partners plus dogs and there was plenty of space for us to be together when we wanted to be but also to have our own space when we wanted it. Wonderful holiday
Jacqui – July 2022
This is a wonderful family cottage right next to The Meare and the beach and in fact it is a short walk from everything in Thorpeness. Very spacious and comfortable bedrooms and a well equipped kitchen. Large sitting room and even a separate snug room for youngsters. The small secluded garden is completely enclosed so safe for children and dogs. We had a fabulous week there and hope to return in the very near future. Thanks very much from Fiona.
Fiona – June 2022
Our family weekend away staying at this lovely house was just perfect.
Andrew – April 2022
Great location- overlooking the Meare and great sized property for a family or group of friends.
Alexandra – February 2022
A really great place in an excellent location. If anything it exceeded our expectations as it had a playroom loaded with toys, which we didn’t realise and went down very well with the four little ones, and was in walking distance of a great pub.
Jemimah – November 2021
Amazing! Girls weekend away. The house is amazing, clean and everything it says it is, location is great. Highly recommend a visit to The Dolphin too.
Katie – October 2021
We have just returned from a fabulous weekend at Meare House. The location is absolutely perfect right in the heart of the bustling village of Thorpness there is a great pub called the Dolphin and a lovely cafe called The Emporium literally within a stones throw. The house backs onto the lake and the beach is just down the road. We went on a great 10k walk to Aldeburgh which is also a beautiful town with great shops, cafes, restaurants and ice cream parlours. The house is great for a big group and well equipped. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
James – September 2021
Great week spent in Thorpeness. The house was stunning, very comfortable, spacious and immaculate. The view overlooking The Meare lake was beautiful and we were fortunate to see the Thorpeness Meare Junior regatta and firework display which was amazing. A real treat! The games, books and toys were a real bonus for the kids and a coffee machine for the adults! The location is fantastic with the beach just a couple of minutes away. We had a wonderful week away and hope to return again in the future. Thank you Emma and team.
Alison – August 2021
We loved the location near the Meare, beach and Dolphin Inn. The size of the property was fabulous. The little touches really enhances our stay, like board games and a coffee machine
Kate O’Gram – October 2020
Couldn’t have wanted for more! Meare House is easy to find with plenty of off road parking. A large, attractive and spacious house that is more than big enough to sleep 6, 8 or 10. It is well appointed and importantly in 2020 is spotlessly clean! In addition to all amenities there’s the pleasure of a log burner and an elegant bath in the large master bedroom as well as sight of the lake from a couple of the windows. Though the October weather precluded this, it is set up for visitors outside in the garden with table and chairs etc. For anyone wishing to visit the beauty of Thorpeness, Aldeburgh and Southwold we highly recommend it as a place to stay!
James Elliot – October 2020
Great house is an idyllic location. We hope to come back one day!!
Sarah Freeman – March 2020
An amazing property set in such a lovely location. Completely clean and just stunning. Can’t recommend the property enough!
Ben Harrison – February 2020
Our stay at Meare House was amazing! The location is perfect and relaxed. The house is comfortable, homely and very well equipped with plenty of space for the whole family. The driveway parking is an added bonus. Angela and all her team provided an excellent, professional (yet friendly) and very helpful service prior and during our holiday. Our sincere thanks to you all.
Marian Luck – January 2020
Holiday makers can expect a wonderful stay at this beautiful, well equipped house, in a stunning location. It is just 5 mins walk from the beach (very pebbly!) and fronted by the gorgeous Meare lake. It has a sleepy village feel, is tranquil and very pretty. The windmill and House in the Clouds are a must see and lovely Aldeburgh is just 5 mins drive away. Perfect place to stay for any time of year, whatever the occasion.
We had a great time! Even the weather was a bit better than forecast. The house is lovely and the location really beautiful and relaxing. We even loved the wild sea on Saturday, in the gale force wind! We also loved the House in the clouds, the Windmill and the swans on the Meare. We were all agreed that it would be a great place to holiday in the summer too. The house itself offered perfect bedroom set up for our family, with plenty of space and exceptional levels of equipment. The only slight disappointment was that the woodburner was out of action, but did not detract from our enjoyment, and we were given a refund by way of compensation, which was a much appreciated gesture. Thank you! Hopefully, we will be back again. What a great weekend!
Carol – November 2019
Hospitality and communication were excellent, house was beautiful and in a fantastic location, comfy beds and a lovely bath, well equipped for everything you’d want for a getaway! Our girly weekend was lovely here thank you, and our little sausage dog Reggie also enjoyed it 😊
Rachel, Meare House – November 2019
Excellent location with very comfortable accommodation.
Vanessa – November 2019
We had a lovely stay here in late October 2019. Angela and her team were very quick with their communication and were even there to help when our food shopping arrived at the house before us. Beautiful surroundings area to explore and the house provided plenty of space for 4 adults and 4 children. Thanks for a great stay.

‘A good company to deal with’
As always who ever answered the phone was very helpful and cheerful. Any request large or small was dealt with very professionally.
