We had an excellent trip to Thorpeness recently and although we did not stay at the hotel itself because we had opted to rent locally, we so enjoyed the facilities on offer. Paula on reception had handled all the administration and each time we visited the bar for food and drink we we well looked after by all the staff... More

I organise a group of 32 golfers to play a Ryder Cup style weekend at Thorpeness every year and we could not find a better place! The course itself is fantastic and it is always being improved (making it harder for us mere mortals) although we did get hit by the snow this year! The hotel is great and welcoming,... More

We visited this hotel just overnight for a quick break and it was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a superior room with patio which was at ground level in the annexe by the car park. Ordinarily, that might have been rather exposed but there were not many guests due to the atrocious weather (one large... More

We came here for a midweek golf break and we had a great time. Although it is not perfect, it still warrants a five star rating. The staff are helpful, welcoming and efficient, the hotel is charming, and the golf course is interesting and well maintained. The golf course is very nice. It was a wet and sometimes snowy week...

This was an attractive traditional style Golf Club hotel. King size bed with balcony, friendly staff and close proximity to great coastal walks. Excellent value for money and dog friendly. Thorpeness is an excellent destination for a weekend away. The architecture is 1920's Tudor revival with pretty houses and boating lake and long pebble beach with grassed Heath.
