To stay in the House in the Clouds is to take your family to one of the country’s most famous follies. It started life as a water tower for a Peter Pan-themed 1920s fantasy children’s holiday village. Children will just love staying in this bizarre holiday home with its games room above the tree tops and stairs, stairs, stairs everywhere.

Thorpeness Meare is an enchanting man-made lake with fishing and boating. Still on the Peter Pan theme, children can explore the Pirates’ Lair and Wendy’s Home on the Meare. The beach is nearby and the House in the Clouds has one acre of private grounds, table tennis, lawn tennis and boules.
