Guests say
Barrie House in Thorpeness is a stunning and comfortable cottage, highly praised for its high standard of furnishings and equipment. Its proximity to the beach and local pub adds to its charm, although some guests noted minor issues with cleanliness and facilities. The property's thoughtful touches, such as welcome gifts, were appreciated.
Guests were generally pleased but one mentioned finding a mouldy loaf and questionable towel cleanliness, suggesting room for improvement.
The cottage's location is ideal, close to the beach and opposite a pub, in a beautiful village.
The property is noted for its comfortable furnishings, especially the beds, though outdoor space was deemed impractical for large groups in summer.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, but there were comments about a problematic shower, a subpar dishwasher, and a lack of cutlery.
The welcome wine and crisps were a nice touch, though it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed.

Barrie House is stunning. We had a wonderful week there. It is furnished and equipped to an extremely high standard. We couldn't think of anything we needed which wasn't provided. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. The Dolphin pub is great and just across the road. I can't think of a better holiday property for 8 people. Thank you
