Customer Reviews

This is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay by the beach with everything you need for a relaxing visit.
Gemma – Oct 2024

We stayed for a long weekend and had fantastic weather. The house is spacious with 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and quite quirky but cosy communal spaces. There were seven of us and we all had comfortable rooms and beds and the place was extremely well equipped for self catering. The pub is nearby and the lovely Thorpeness kitchen, and only a short walk/drive to Aldeburgh for a range of eateries and fish and chips. The house has direct access to a secluded beach and the mere has kayaks and rowing boats. We enjoyed the outside seating areas which were a real suntrap. The stairs are steep and there is no bathroom on the first floor but these didn’t spoil our stay. I have a feeling we’ll be back!
Maggie – Oct 2024

The house was very quirky 10 of us stayed and we all had the best time in the house very prepared for a lot of people with plenty of cooking equipment very pleased with everything will definitely return location fabulous and house was exactly what is described very pleased with everything
Kevin – Sep 2024

Lovely house which was spotless and had anything we could need for our stay! Thank you!
Bev – Mar 2024

Shore Cote was in a beautiful location, we have always loved Thorpeness as it’s so peaceful and quaint. You can take a walk along the coast to Aldeburgh or stay in Thorpeness and take advantage of the lovely coffee shops and emporium. As a group of ladies on our annual weekend away the house was perfect. The sitting room cosy and comfy for us all and the bedrooms warm and clean. The dining table was also perfect for 8 of us to have our evening meal. We had an issue with the water one morning but it was quickly resolved with a guy coming out to check on us, very helpful. The garden overlooks the sea, a bit blustery for us to sit out but I can imagine in the summer months it would be the perfect location to sit and take in the nature. We would highly recommend Shore Cote.
Oliver – Dec 2023

The most idyllic property that was home for a long weekend for a group of ladies. The view is like nothing else, the house is very cute, lovely and warm, lots of crockery and cutlery and plenty of cosy spaces to all hang out together
Emma – Nov 2023

Lovely house with plenty of charm and character plus great sea views. The cottage is well equipped and we had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. There’s a great pub only a short walk away. The unseasonably warm weather was an added bonus.
Pete – Oct 2023

Beautiful location and perfect for what we needed – we had an excellent weekend
Pippa – June 2023

Lovely beach house with 5 bedrooms, good size garden and direct access to the beach via a garden gate and small path. Beach is lovely and not very busy, allowing you to get some quality R&R. The house has pretty much everything you could need to start your vacation in a relaxed and carefree manner. The owners even brought us a new gas canister for the gas bbq when we discovered it was empty. Thorpeness is a beautiful country village and perfect for ‘getting away from it all’, including a boating lake, windmill and fabulous local pub a short walk away. In summary, fantastic place to catch up with friends and family! Thank you for an amazing stay!
Chris – June 2023

Lovely stay with family thank you to celebrate my 70th birthday. A great seaside cottage and the location suited us well with easy access to other places by bicycle or car. The cottage was well resourced with plenty of kitchen equipment, cutlery and crockery. The rooms were comfortable and worked well for our family. Just lovely to see and hear the sea.
Clare – May 2023

Located on the beach the bedrooms have a fabulous view of the sea. Described as quaint, homely, different, it was like stepping into a home with furniture chosen to allow one to relax. A reasonable stroll along the beach is the best fish and chip shop ever, but beware of the seagulls who will be happy to steal anything. The Bull pub is a few hundred yards away and does a great Sunday lunch, make sure you book a table as it is very popular. Then there is the mere, loads of swans and ducks to feed and boating in the summer. This is a great place to get away and simply leave the world behind for a weekend.
Bernie P – December 2022

Gorgeous place, really well equipped and in the most beautiful setting with glorious views over the sea. It was spotlessly clean and the beds were super comfy
Kath – December 2022

What a wonderful place to stay. Everything you would need, spotlessly clean and a perfect location. Great communication throughout the process and during our stay.
Dena – November 2022

We stayed at Shore Cote for a long weekend to spend some quality family time together, it was myself with our children age 8yo and 17yo and my mother in law. The house was really clean and exactly as advertised. The location and views are spectacular and we all loved it, the beach is quiet and ideal for a cold morning swim, the girls loved exploring the beach! As well as exploring Thorpeness, we walked into Aldeburgh during our visit (which is a lovely coastal walk) and spent some time at the boutiques and pubs. In the evenings we played boardgames while admiring the view and listening to the ocean with the electric fire for ambience – just perfect! The communication and flexibility around our stay was brilliant and the service was excellent.
Sarah – November 2022

Shore Cote was exactly as described. Beautiful location within the sounds of the sea, absolutely tranquil yet near to the pub and golf club with excellent food. Every amenity one could wish for and the comfortable beds and super soft pillows were a joy to sleep in. No issues at all. Look forward to returning.
Janice – June 2022

We had a fabulous stay at Shore Cote to celebrate my 70th birthday. There were nine people ranging in age from 11 months to 70 and the house was extremely well equipped and suitable for all of us. The location right next to the beach with an uninterrupted view of the sea was idyllic. There are three outside eating areas so if it is windy there is one that is more sheltered. Thorpeness is delightful and boating on the Meare is highly recommended.
Julia – May 2022

Shore Cote is a perfect house for a family holiday. It is well equipped for a large group. The garden is very safe for children with a gate leading on to the beach. The location couldn’t be better. Highly recommended. Shore Cote House was perfect for our family holiday. The house was well equipped and very comfortable for us. My grandchildren loved the garden and the gate from the garden straight on to the beach was a big bonus. Thank you to your team who were super efficient, friendly and always happy to answer any queries about the house or local area. We will be back.
Patricia – April 2022

Wonderful stay! The house had everything we wanted and more! Beach is on the doorstep! We will definitely be returning next year… thank you
Zoe – March 2022

A lovely house in an idyllic location. We had a wonderful weekend.
Kathryn – March 2022

We had a wonderful long weekend. Amazing location, cosy, welcoming and beautifully furnished home. Kitchen fully equipped for every need. Thank you for such a lovely stay.
Steph – February 2022

What a fantastic location, couldn’t ask for better. My family and I had a wonderful weekend. The sunrises are spectacular.
Anita – January 2022

Fantastic cottage full of character and light with fantastic views over the beach and along the coast! Beautiful spot with opportunities for walks along the coast and a dip in the sea if you’re brave.
Carrie – January 2022

Perfect autumnal escape. Shore Cote is a lovely quirky beach house perfect for bracing coastal walks & making great memories.
Langers – November 2021

We loved our stay at Shore Cote. Easy check in, very clean and comfortable beds. The view from the decking is 1 in a million and we never got bored of it, we spent every evening looking out onto the sea and sky, it made our stay very memorable. On our last night there were fireworks on the beach which was lovely to watch. We went to a food festival on the Saturday which was great, local tennis courts near by at the country club and boat rentals nearby. There is a little path from the garden straight to the beach which is a stones throw away. Plenty of seating space inside and outside including a fabulous bbq which we used everyday. Bedrooms are a great size and we thought that the kitchen was very well stocked to suit 8 guests. Small issue of some flies in the house however that was probably because we left the windows open as the weather was beautiful the weekend of our visit. Stairs are quite steep inside however there is a bedroom downstairs for anyone who isn’t able to climb up them. We would highly recommend staying here and look forward to revisiting. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay, we lovely it and certainly one to remember.
Mollie – October 2021

Wonderful location, just a short walk from the village of Thorpeness, with direct access to the beach. Shore Cote was a truly characterful property, with plenty of space, which suited our family reunion perfectly. Angela and her team are a delight to deal with, yet very professional. We have rebooked for next year already. Says it all !
Trusted customer – September 2021

This house is perfect for a big family or bunch of friends to get together. Five bedrooms in total, eight beds and its on the sea front. The house is equipped with everything you’ll need and we had a lovely stay. There is ample parking outside the long private road and its within walking distance to the local pub, lake and cafe. The sea can be choppy at times but we still had a lot of fun. If you arrive on a Friday and want to go out for dinner after a long drive, I’d suggest to book a table and also go as early as possible. Most of the local pubs and restaurants stop serving food around 8 to 8:30pm. All in all, a wonderful stay and would love to return again one day soon.
Chris – August 2021

This is a super cottage in the most glorious position. well equipped for larger groups and plenty of space on the decking to enjoy the view and sun. There is a little path directly down to the beach and we swam every day. Highly recommend and good value for money too. Many thanks
Tam – July 2021

Lovely house and ideal location to explore Thorpeness and Aldeburgh.
Siobhan – May 2021

Really beautiful setting and a thoroughly bright and welcoming home. Loved every minute of it and can’t wait to come back!
Dulcie Menzie – April 2021

Amazing character and stunning location. Highly recommended. We really loved our stay at your house, it’s gorgeous and will definitely be booking in again soon! Hopefully minus covid! Thanks for a wonderful place to stay!
Victoria Biscoe – October 2020

A beautiful house with an absolutely stunning location. We loved being able to walk out of the gate and down to the beach or sit watching the waves from the deck. There was everything in the house we needed, great facilities. Thank you for a fabulous stay.
Kate Veale – September 2020

A super week by the sea! Thank you to you and the team Aldeburgh Coastal Cottages, we had a super holiday!
Jo Bleasdale – September 2020

The House was wonderful! Thank you!
Celia – July 2020

Great location, comfortable accommodation that was quirky and ideal for 6 guests.
Debbie Wright, Shore Cote – March 2020

Amazing, quirky place. Great location, plenty of room, close to the beach with plenty of room. Will definitely book again.
Suzanne Harris – February 2020

We stayed here as a group of friends. I have rented several cottages in the past and this was the best equipped one I have rented. I can’t think of anything we wanted that was missing. The house is in a quiet location on the beach within walking distance of a great pub (with great food). Check in process was easy. Would definitely return!
Virginia – January 2020

The most fabulous place, stunning setting, beautifully furnished, homely yet quirky. There is literally nothing you need to take but yourself, it literally caters for every eventuality. 9 of us had the best Christmas ever. Would come back every year if we could. Utterly perfect .
Joanne, Hullbridge – December 2019
