"Drift Cottage was a perfect location down a quiet lane but close enough to all the amenities. Great coastal and country walks. The accommodation worked well for 7 people and I would highly recommend it to future holiday makers". - Sian Dorrington

Escape to this delightfully renovated 1920s cottage right in the heart of the village of Walberswick. Right from the doorstep, outdoor enthusiasts will relish in the endless trails and walking spots to be sniffed out with their four-legged friends.

This period property offers spacious living with a cosy ambience. Sitting proudly as the centrepiece of the room, curl up in front of the intricate wood burner and let furry tummies soak up the warmth. With snuggly sofas in tow, chat to your loved one’s way into the night or hunker down with a good book in the snug room, complete with a sofa bed and TV. The kitchen is ideal for rustling up some family favourites or experimenting with new exotic flavours, before serving up in the large dining space with French doors opening to the garden. When it''s time to lay your head, wander through to the double room on the ground floor or head upstairs, where three tastefully decorated rooms invite you to hit the hay. Make a fresh pot of tea and let the dogs out for a stretch while enjoying the sun trap of the south-facing enclosed garden.

Pull on your walking boots and amble along the local footpaths to lose yourself in the stunning landscape and scenic coastline. For topping up the pantry, shop for locally caught seafood from the fishmongers or dine alfresco at one of many tearooms and harbourside eateries in Walberswick. Hop aboard the ferry to the traditional seaside resort of Southwold, home to a 250m pier and colourful beach huts, perfect for taking some snaps. Also home to a sand and shingle beach, your hound will adore having a paddle at this classic coastal retreat.

Drift Cottage is a wonderful place to stay in Walberswick - in a quiet location with just a short walk to the local supermarket, deli, pubs and beaches. The cottage has been renovated with fun and cosy interiors and was fully equipped. We really appreciated the enclosed, large rear garden for our dogs and also the charging point for our electric caRead morer. The welcome gift is one of the best we've had. Hide

We spent a week at Drift Cottage at the beginning of June with our 2 dogs. The cottage was perfect with comfy sofas, plenty of space for coats, shoes, dog beds etc. The bedrooms were lovely and again felt really comfortable. It was a proper home from home with everything you need and more for a self catering holiday.The cottage is ideally located iRead moren Walberswick, with walks to southwold and the estuary right on your dorstep. The dog friendly beach is only a 5 minutes walk away which was perfect for a last walk before bedtime. There's also a well stocked Co-op and the fabulous Black Dog deli and 2 pubs just moments away. All in all it's a perfect place to stay, a real gem, and we will certainly be back again. Hide
