Mock-Tudor Cottage for 8 in Thorpeness

This 4-bedroom group cottage is a striking mock-Tudor property sitting right in the centre of Thorpeness village in Suffolk. Sleeping up to eight guests, this is a seriously impressive group booking. The property occupies the courthouse of the grand Ogilvie Hall, a genuinely special setting you won't find anywhere else.

Thorpeness is a wonderfully quirky seaside village on the Suffolk coast. Think brightly coloured buildings along a long shingle beach, a famous Meare boating lake and a windmill just a few hundred metres away.

The layout is reversed, so bedrooms sit downstairs and the living space is upstairs. There are 4 bedrooms: 3 king-size rooms (one with en-suite) and 1 twin room. Two bathrooms serve the group. Upstairs opens into a vast open-plan living area with a three-storey vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. A spiral staircase leads to a mezzanine snug with floor cushions. The kitchen has a breakfast bar and large dining table by leaded windows.

Aldeburgh is just 2 miles away with galleries and restaurants. Snape Maltings is a short drive for live performances. The Meare boating lake and golf course are both under half a mile away.

For groups wanting something genuinely special, this rental delivers real wow factor with its grand architecture, spacious living areas and brilliant village-centre location.
