1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

We stayed at this hotel for a wedding (which was wonderful). Priced at £150 for a standard double it was horrendously over priced. The fixtures and fittings are old fashioned, the mattress was very soft and extremely uncomfortable. The breakfast took 30mins to arrive and was basic. Although the staff were pleasant, don't assume the hefty price tag is getting... More

Four of us stayed here for 2 days and ate in the restaurant both nights. Food was good and variety would please most people. While we did not play, the hotel is frequented by golfers who are a very happy group. Plenty of parking, rooms are very comfortable but in need of a little TLC. Breakfasts are well prepared. Staff...

Weekend break at Thorpeness to celebrate my birthday with 6 of my family. We all had a lovely time; all of our rooms where comfortable and spotless. We enjoyed a family meal on the Saturday evening which was lovely with friendly, attentive staff. Breakfast on Sunday was also great. Will be returning for another weekend break soon.

Stayed for 2 nights on a golfing break with 40 Leicestershire golfers. the course layout is outstanding, and although the course is still recovering from the dreadful weather of the last year, it looks like it will be spot on soon. The new 9th green looks spectacular. Surprised by the negative comments about the rooms. I had room 6 which... More

Thanks for taking the time to tell us your thoughts. The course is getting towards where we want to be and the Course Manager is grateful that the warmer weather has now arrived. The new 9th hole including the new green will turn the hole from a par 4 to par 5 and is due to be open by the... More

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.

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
