Customer Reviews

We’ve just a wonderful stay at Sanctuary House. Loads of room for 2 families of five to stay with no problems. The house is in fantastic location, overlooking the beautiful boating lake in Thorpeness and just a stone’s throw from the beach and pub. Rooms were well-supplied and presented, communication from host was personal and helpful throughout. All in all, a great stay – highly recommended. Thank you!
John – April 2022

This is a magical place in a fantastic location. Ten of us went there for a weekend away to celebrate a special occasion. The house was immaculate and we all had plenty of space. The location is beautiful, so peaceful and with amazing walks and views. Highly recommended.
Wayne – March 2022

We had a wonderful weekend stay for my Wife’s Birthday. The location was the highlight, a beautiful village 5 mins walk from the beach. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!
Tom O’Shea – February 2022

Lovely house in great location looking over The Meare. 4 big bedrooms and 2 singles all with super comfy beds and bedding. Lovely dining room that seats 10+ and comfy living room with fire. Had a great pre Xmas stay with all the family and cooked a full 3 course Xmas dinner in the spacious kitchen.
Moira – December 2021

We had a fabulous stay at The Sanctuary. We went with our family for a few days relaxation and found the house to be perfect for the 9 of us. Grandchildren loved exploring the house.
Heather – November 2021

This is a great house, fantastic location with lovely views out over the Mere. Easy access to the beach and a lovely walk into Aldeburgh for restaurants and pubs. Well equipped with comfortable furnishings and enough room for a large group to spread out. Loved the wood burner after a chilly day out on the coast.
Jo – November 2021

Fabulous position overlooking the boating lake, and very close to the beach. The house is welcoming and well-appointed, and the team at Coastal Cottages helpful.
Alison – July 2021

Great accommodation and views. Perfect family getaway. Once again another spotless house run by Aldeburgh Coastal Cottages. Flexible accommodation, right on the doorstep of the Meare. We loved it!
Elle – June 2021

Fantastic location… House had wonderful views, lots of space and comfy beds!.. Would definitely stay again!
Leanne – June 2021

Lucky us – we had a wonderful winter lockdown!! Cosy fire, winter walks, bike rides & fabulous internet connection for school & work. Suited our family of four perfectly. Will definitely return when we can enjoy the Meare, beach and friends as the ideal location on the village green.
Mary-Anne – May 2021
