Mission Lodge

Pros: Really liked the location, close to the beach in Thorpeness. Great shower and log burner. The whole property was well fitted and felt homely. Will stay again.

Cons: Nothing about the property not to like

Lovely cottage located a few metres from the beach & local amenities. A great base to explore the area

Pros: Perfect location to explore Thorpeness, Aldeburgh & the surrounding area.

Fantastic quality lodge close to the beach

Pros: Great location 2 minutes walk from the beach, beautiful beach house, great facilities and quality fixtures and fittings. Amazing shower, comfy bed and lovely vibe. We loved it!

Cons: It was great!

Quiet, comfortable accomadation

Pros: Compact but complete with all amenities. Nice outside space. Well presented and clean. Good central location.

Cons: Access to road was on an acute bend. Bit of a lottery getting out as the road is used a lot as it leads to Aldeburgh.

A very pleasant and peaceful stay close to the beach, but close to amenities.

Pros: A great little property for 2 people in a great location for Thorpeness and Aldeburgh, and just yards from the beach.

Cons: The property was clean, but it wasn't sparkling. It wouldn't stop me from staying there again, but a little more attention to detail in the cleaning would have made it exceptional.

Brilliant little property in a great location.

Pros: Lovely little property in a great location. Although small the lodge was cosy and had everything we needed. It was clean and bright and comfortable. The added bonus of sun loungers in the courtyard was brilliant. The kitchen was well stocked and the oven easy to use. The shower was excellent. All round very happy with our stay.

Cons: Just a small thing but a larger saucepan would have been handy for boiling pasta!

Able to relax in a good location and ammenities close by.

Pros: Clean and tidy, with good quality furnishings. Parkign next to the property and off road. Private patio area. Close to beach. Location perfect to explore the area.

Cons: The recycling arrangements were rather confusing. The explaination in the information pack e.g. colours of bins did not match what was actualy on site.

Fabulous. Wish we had booked for longer.

Pros: Location perfect. So close to the sea and we walked to the pub, and a fabulous place for breakfast

Cons: Would have liked a table and chairs outside, rather than sun loungers; a very personal and tiny issue tho'

Cosy, Comfortable and Perfectly Located to Enjoy this Part of Suffolk and the Coast.

Pros: I had never been to Suffolk so the area was a delightful surprise. Mission Lodge was especially comfortable with everything I needed for my stay. The weather was particularly miserable while I was there and one day cold and wet. However I had a personal visit to see if I wanted heating temperature increased. As I had already made up the log fire it was all very cosy and continued to stay warm during my visit.

Cons: For self-catering nearby supermarkets are a bit limited but the Co-op in Aldeburgh has Cook frozen meals which I can highly recommend as I always look out for them when I am away. These are also also available at Friday Street Farm shop, Aldeburgh, along with excellent choices of fresh meat, dairy etc and some independent shops in the town. It is also worth looking out for local weekly markets where there are stalls selling fresh produce. Although the lack of a quality supermarket is something I have listed as an initial problem, it was my first time in the area and, on future visits, I would very much enjoy visiting local small towns to try out independent producers.

Good option for self-catering

Pros: Quiet location, has parking, well decorated, private outdoor seating area.

Cons: Lack of toiletries including toilet roll that was stated as included. Bed was quite low. Lack of visibility of oncoming traffic exiting the road.
