About this property

Boasting impressive views over Thorpeness Meare and close to the popular seaside town of Thorpeness in Suffolk, 2 The Bays offers the ultimate in family holiday accommodation. Also suitable for a gathering of friends, the property is spacious and well-presented. Your holiday begins as soon as you pull up outside the house and park up in the allocated parking space. Guests are welcomed into a light and airy living space complete with an inviting sitting area, stylish kitchen and elegant dining area. This is a wonderfully sociable space and you can imagine your guests gathering in various parts of the room with their favourite tipple in hand while the designated chef whips up delicacies in the kitchen. If you want to get away from it all and chill out, then there’s a cool snug ready for you to curl up in and enjoy some much-needed down time. There is a bedroom to suit everyone and all are stylishly presented and offer a welcoming sanctuary after a hard day of holidaying. With three bathrooms there won’t be any queues either! The gardens are a real feature of the property with lawns for the children and pet to explore while the adults can pull up a chair and enjoy some drinking and dining time alfresco. Tempting as it is to not leave the house, you’ll be wanting to get out about and discover the delights of the local area. Thorpeness Meare is literally on the doorstep with boating opportunities and a cafe to look forward to. If you want to go a little further away then hop in the car and head out to attractions such as Framlingham Castle, Africa Alive Zoological Reserve, Easton Farm Park, Yoxford Antiques Centre and Gardens and Somerleyton Hall. If you like a tipple then head off to Adnams Brewery, the English Whiskey Company or Shawsgate Vineyard or for some beautiful walks and hikes head to the Suffolk Coast and Heaths region which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Time spent at 2 The Bays is time well spent.
