Mrs Foster
5 The Bays is a great property for group or family stays offering fantastic views of the Meare. The beds are all comfortable and the rooms well equipped with plenty of storeage space. The large kitchen diner is a perfect sociable space with ample refrigeration space. The lounge is incredibly comfortable and putdoor seating is also available. Thorpeness is a small but pretty village with an amazing boating lake (The Meare) and a variety of places to eat. Aldeburgh is an easy walk away along the beach. We had an issue with the door alarm while we were there and this was dealt with on the same day, very efficiently.
