Owning a chalet in Thorpeness is a great privilege, many of the buildings are passed down through families, it is a fascinating and historic spot with great charm. The rental fee for this chalet for one night was expensive but as it is in such a great location it seemed worth it... but in reality not so much, as the garden is a little neglected like a typical rental, and the chalet interior is very clean but clearly not regularly aired and obviously suffers from people checking out post showers followed by short visits from cleaners, other than that the mattresses could not be more basic and the roof is long overdue some thoughtful care and investment. So it is a little sad as this extraordinary little place does not feel loved but more like a managed asset that is under appreciated. The parking instructions are also quite unclear.
