Property code: OC-GRS

Set in a traffic-free location, this quiet terraced cottage in the sought-after village of Walberswick is perched on the edge of a common and is perfect for walkies with the pups. Get together your family or small group of friends to escape to this stunning part of the country.

Enter this former fisherman’s cottage and head into the light and airy living space. Find a corner to read your book or gather the family and watch a film with your pups nestled into your feet. Meanwhile, the sizable dining room seating six serves up ample space for guests to celebrate their getaway. You’ll also find plenty of appliances and cupboards for knocking up culinary creations for hungry visitors. Speaking of space, there is a handy little WC and cloakroom too, where you can park your coats and dog leads after a long day of exploring. Say goodnight to your pups and climb the staircase to find two tastefully furnished bedrooms; one king-size room and a full-size bunk room, where views of grassland will relax you to sleep. On balmy mornings, enjoy a coffee outside and let the dogs have a stretch in the enclosed garden at the rear of the property. There is on-street parking nearby.

From your front door, head out with your canine companions along the quiet lane and past Walberswick Church, where gorgeous views are to be admired. To get supplies for tea, shop for locally caught seafood from the fishmongers or dine alfresco at one of many tearooms and harbourside eateries in Walberswick. There are plenty of wonderful walks to sniff out including a stroll across the bridge to the Edwardian coastal resort of Southwold. Alternatively, stay closer to home and make the trip to the dog-friendly marsh and heathland. Don’t forget your camera as sometimes deer, otters and a range of wild birds pop up to say hello!

Only thing which is really picky is that there was not kitchen roll and the frying pans could do with replacing. Other than that absolutly perfect.
