Literally just moments away from the dunes at Thorpeness in Suffolk, 2 The Dunes is a wonderful holiday destination ideal for families. Having undergone a complete restoration, the property boasts a wealth of traditional features whilst still offering all the mod cons any discerning guest would expect. A real selling point of the house is the fact it directly overlooks Thorpeness Meare and the views are simply stunning. The stylish sitting room has attractive oak flooring and a woodburning stove as well as an extensive seating area making it the ideal place to gather and enjoy quality time together. The contemporary kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to rustle up delicious food for everyone and guests can choose from informal dining at a bistro table in the kitchen or more formal meals in the dining room. Upstairs the five bedrooms are all charmingly presented and the master bedroom benefits from a balcony with sea views. Imagine waking up and stepping out onto the balcony in the morning and soaking up the Suffolk ambience. Outside there are benches and a dining table and chairs helping to entice guests to enjoy time alfresco. The location of 2 The Dunes is simply sublime with the Meare directly in front of the property and Thorpeness itself within a short walk. Nearby towns worth a visit include Southwold, Aldeburgh and Orford with attractions such as Snape Maltings, Framlingham Castle, Easton Farm Park and Africa Alive Zoological Reserve definitely justifying a scenic car drive. Enjoy some fantastic walks and hikes anywhere within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and don’t forget to take your camera for some great photos! If you want a day at the beach then pack a picnic and head to Dunwich, Aldeburgh, Walberswick and Kessingland. For a relaxing break in sumptuous surroundings, book a visit to 2 The Dunes.
