The Bay Tree Studio, Thorpeness

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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☺

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

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
