Customer Reviews

Comfortable studio accommodation with everything we needed for our short stay in Thorpeness. Quiet location. Booking and check-in arrangements all went smoothly.
Richard – Apr 2025

We had a short weekend break, everything was great – this is a fabulous location.
Nick – Dec 2024

Amazing! Everything perfect!
Vincent – Aug 2024

This is a lovely little studio just a few minutes’ walk from the sea. It’s very clean, cosy and warm — if warm is important to you like it is to us, The Bay Tree Studio is great! Finding it and parking is all easy. Although it is small, we thought it was actually bigger than the photographs suggested. A great little find. Thanks.
Paul – Oct 2023

A very peaceful place to stay great location for exploring. I was playing golf at Thorpeness GC highly recommended and easy to walk too. The Dolphin pub is good for food as well.
Mark – Oct 2023

Terrific little studio. Tucked away in the centre of Thorpeness. Everything you could need. Short walk to beach, mere, cafe or pub! Thank you.
Vivienne – June 2023

The Bay Tree Studio apartment in Thorpeness is lovely. Set in a quiet garden just 5 minutes walk from the centre of this lovely village. The accommodation was clean and tidy, perfect for a short stay. The village is very unusual and well worth a visit.
Stephen – June 2023

Perfect location to explore the local surroundings. immaculately clean and just as advertised. Would thoroughly recommend.
Katherine – May 2023

Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful apartment. We had a great stay and found everything clean and tidy. Bed was very comfortable. The apartment is ideally located and very peaceful. We enjoyed walking and visiting the surrounding area. We are looking to re-book once we can sort out holidays and would recommend your apartment to anyone. Once again thank you for letting us stay we absolutely loved it. Regards
Jane – April 2023

Thank you for a lovely stay, we really appreciated being able to park in the drive. The flowers in your front garden are absolutely beautiful!
Su – March 2023

The Bay Tree Studio is tastefully decorated, clean and very peaceful. It’s compact – but that means it also heats up very easily (and furthermore maintains the warmth very well) – so overall very cosy. It is ideally located to explore the Suffolk coast and the wonderful nearby RSPB flagship reserve, Minsmere, where we easily spent a whole day. In Thorpeness itself, the local Dolphin pub is less than 5 minutes walk away and offers a delicious menu with ample choice for dining out several evenings in a row. Take a torch (or light on your phone) though for the walk back as the village is pitch black! Excellent for star-watching. All in all a delightful bolthole to enjoy the Suffolk countryside and pamper yourself with a comfortable stay and excellent dining nearby. Car parking is generously provided by the host in front of her own home which adjoins the studio.
Frieda – February 2023

Lovely comfortable and cosy stay, great for lovely walks along the coast.
Jane – February 2023

We love this studio, compact but well equipped with everything you need. In good position for coast and pub and easy to walk to Aldeburgh
Liz – December 2022

Liz – December 2022

Lovely studio apartment. Very clean. Great location. Has all the facilities you need for a short stay. Would highly recommend
Andrea – October 2022

Our second visit to the Bay Tree Studio and everything was as immaculately prepared as before. The peace and quiet of this garden studio is wonderful and the proximity to the beach and walks couldn’t be better.
Chris – October 2022

A little gem we’ll placed for exploring this part of Suffolk.
Pam – September 2022

Really happy with the ease of check in and the location. Flat was clean and comfortable and close to the beach. The Dolphin pub is only 4 mins walk away and the food and service was excellent both nights we were there.
Brian – August 2022

Had a lovely short stay at bay tree studio, perfect little base for visiting Thorpeness and Aldeburgh. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Loved the nautical decor.
Debbie – July 2022

Absolute excellent accommodations and area. Cannot say enough good things. Every aspect was subtle, relaxing, and perfect!
Sarah – July 2022

Lovely little quiet retreat in the heart of Thorpeness. Within easy walking distance of the beach, boating lake and pub. Good communication from host and easy check in. Thanks for a lovely stay
Allison – July 2022

The studio surpassed expectation. I had a delightful stay, so much to do! The beach is just a couple of minutes walk away, Aldeburgh a 40 minute gentle stroll along the coastal path, Dunwich a short drive and Southwold within easy reach too. Thorpeness is great for a wander… and then back to the studio for comfortable relaxation. I wish I’d booked to stay for longer. Thank you for letting me store my bike in the garage.
Sharon – June 2022

Had a lovely stay. Everything we needed in the studio and lovely walks along the beach. Nice to be able to walk to the pub!
Ursula – May 2022

Lovely stay in Thorpeness. Had some walks along the front and excellent communication was quick and check in easy. Would recommend!
Joeri – April 2022

Nice room in a great location for exploring the coast. Excellent Thai food at Aldeburgh!
Ashley – February 2022

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely studio apartment, which is well kitted out with everything you need for a short break. Would definitely recommend the location too with a lovely easy walk to Aldeburgh and easy to explore wider Suffolk too. Would also highly recommend the local cafe ‘The Kitchen’ for excellent breakfast and cakes! We hope to stay again!
Ailsa – February 2022

Amazing place, with more stars at night than I’ve seen in ages!
Steven – January 2022

A really beautiful spot for an overnight stay, in a super location. Everything was spotlessly clean, well-appointed, very quiet – just what we wanted.
Joanna – October 2021

This cosy apartment provides all you need for a short stay on the Suffolk Coast.
Arran – October 2021

Excellent communication in preparation for our visit and a very well organised living space. Bay-tree studio is an ideal bolt-hole to get away from the ‘noise’ of the daily routine and relax. Near to a lovely coast with numerous wild life reserves and other sites of interest such as Aldeburgh and Sutton Hoo, there is also plenty to keep you occupied.
Cliff – October 2021

Bay Tree Studio is a gem; perfectly formed with every comfort, spotlessly clean, very well equipped, great parking, commanding a fantastic position to walk to all the beautiful locations Thorpeness has to offer. Emma was the perfect host with a very warm welcome which immediately made us feel at home; can’t recommend Bay Tree highly enough; 5 stars all round!
Ken Bates – August 2021

Amazing location in Thorpness, close to everything! Cosy cute flat, very clean and quiet at night!
Olivia – August 2021

We had a brilliant short stay here. The place was really clean and well equipped. There was also a good selection of maps, books and games. It’s a short walk to the beach, coffee and ice cream stores and the Meare. We had a delicious meal at The Dolphin but you really need to book in advance as it’s very popular. If you can’t get in, it’s not far to Aldeburgh for the best fish and chips you’ll ever eat. Great walking from the doorstep, and a short drive to RSPB Minsmere and Dunwich Heath. We certainly intend to stay here again.
Silas – May 2021

We travelled here for one night and we couldn’t ask for more! I’d never been to Thorpeness before, it’s a perfect place for a summer retreat ☀️only 5 min walk to the nearest pub/restaurant (which was lovely too). Very clean inside with all the required amenities. We highly recommend☺
Harry – May 2021

Beautiful place, very clean and comfy bed, great location close to sea. Had a wonderful relaxing couple of days. Would definitely go back.
Madeleine – May 2021

What a delightful find!
We should have spent the week on the Pembrokeshire coast but the Welsh lockdown prevented this. We looked for somewhere closer to house and were very fortunate to find the Studio was available for a short stay. We enjoyed some bracing walks in the rain and the Studio was the perfect cosy place to return to. The studio is extremely well equipped and we appreciated the maps. We found it to be exceptionally clean – thank you Aldeburgh Coastal Cottages. We hope to stay longer next time,
Carol & David Averill, Norwich – October 2020

Lovely and quiet, cosy studio in pretty surroundings in a great position to explore the local area. 2 mins to lake, 5 to the sea. Lovely coastal walks to Aldeburgh one way and Sizewell the other.
Paul Matthews – October 2020

Excellent location, quiet and peaceful
Russel Bacon – October 2020

Highly recommended. Located in the garden of the main house, this is a cosy, well-appointed, faultlessly-presented studio flat in a perfect location for beach access. Quiet & peaceful with a friendly team at Aldeburgh Coastal Cottages. Easy parking on the property. Super-comfy bed. Naturally, being a studio flat, the cooking facilities are limited to a two-ring hob & microwave – but for a long weekend, who needs more? Will definitely be back at The Bay Tree Studio again.
Chris Benstead – October 2020

Amazing studio and really cosy.
Jordan Doherty – September 2020

Splendid retreat. The Bay Tree Studio is a little gem set in a very secluded setting. It is just a 10 minute walk to the village cafe and pub who both do first class catering. The beach is the same distance and the walk to Aldeburgh or Sizewell is a joy to behold.
David – September 2020

A lovely studio in a great location!
Emma Wildman – September 2020

The Bay Tree Studio is tucked away behind the main house; easy to find in daylight, but not so easy in pitch darkness at 10.30 pm, which is when I unfortunately had to arrive! Definitely take a torch, as Thorpeness is completely black after dark! The studio is perfect for either a couple or a solo traveller; the bed is really comfortable; the bathroom is more spacious than I’d expected in such a small conversion, and the kitchen area was fine for me but would be quite tight on space for any actual cooking ( which I didn’t do!) The studio was light, bright, airy, quiet and super clean for my visit; communication with Aldeburgh Coastal Cottages was prompt and courteous, and overall I was very satisfied with my stay.
Juliet Brien – August 2020

The studio was a perfect space for a few days away and was so perfectly situated. Food and the beach were easily accessible and the studio itself had everything we needed and was deceptively spacious. Would recommend and would love to stay again. Thanks very much.
Kerry O’Neill – August 2020

Superb accommodation, everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Beautifully clean and ample parking for our large car. Minutes walk to beach and a friendly pub, would love to return!
Kate Saunders – August 2020

A perfect place to stay for 3 to 4 nights. Very compact. A great little find. So quaint and quirky.
Christine Brown – August 2020

A great little place ,ideal for a romantic getaway, clean, comfy would go again.
Gill Miller – July 2020

A beautiful little studio with everything you could want, and the beach only a short walk away! The Dolphin Inn is an excellent pub located a 2 minute walk away, serving delicious food and drinks. Bay Tree Studio is the perfect choice for a coastal getaway! Thank you for the amazing stay! It was the perfect getaway!
Charlotte – July 2020
