  • A light and relaxing Arts and Crafts-style ground-floor apartment in the coastal village of Walberswick
  • With a grand piano, wood burner, leaded windows and a beautiful private garden
  • Ideal for couples seeking a romantic hideaway or for smaller families exploring the Suffolk countryside

Property code: OC-HSTONE

The spacious apartment is located on the outskirts of Walberswick. The property makes the perfect couples’ retreat or base for a small family looking for a traditional seaside getaway with the woofer. The village has a gorgeous beach that welcomes hounds all year, as well as two cosy pubs. Picturesque coastal walks lead to nearby highlights such as Southwold (3 miles) and Dunwich (7 miles). After a busy day, relax in the enclosed garden with a sundowner.

The ground-floor apartment has an arts and crafts-style design and is decorated in a contemporary style. The sociable lounge has ample comfortable seating and a cosy wood burner providing a snuggly spot for Fido to curl up (basket of logs provided) There’s also a piano for musical guests to enjoy. Patio doors open from here to the garden, providing easy access for the pup. The accommodation also comprises a brand new and recently renovated kitchen/diner, as well as two bright and airy bedrooms – a king-size and a twin. The brand new family bathroom completes the property. Steps lead down to an enclosed garden, with a large lawn for the woofer to play on and a choice of seating areas for soaking up the Suffolk sunshine.

A ferry ride or coastal walk brings you to Southwold, known for its colourful beach huts, pier, and historic lighthouse. The beach here has a seasonal dog restriction, but there is a section just past the beach huts that welcomes hounds all year. Another coastal town that’s well worth adding to the itinerary is Aldeburgh. Rich in culture and heritage, the town hosts an annual literary festival and has a plethora of galleries to explore. The town is also known for its delicious fish and chips. The area is a haven for walkers, with nearby routes taking you around the perimeter of RSPB Minsmere (9 miles) and Dunwich Heath (8 miles).

Cosy arts & craft era ground-floor apartment brilliantly located in Walberswick. Lovely garden spaces and incredibly quiet with the most amazing wood burning stove. The cottage kitchen is lovely and well equipped and the shower is great. The owner was so helpful and really nice. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We had a wonderful stay at 1 Millstones, despite a week of varied weather!

Millstones was a really lovely apartment in a fabulous location. I especially liked the thoughtful kids toys and games they really added to our holiday experience.

I was a little worried after reading a review after booking about lack of ceiling lights especially as we have young children and I tend to cook.

Had a lovely week in this charming house. All the rooms provided a home from home level of comfort and I loved the homely vibe.

Waberlswick is delightful; old world charm and a great base for the busier Southwold and Aldburgh. A great stay. Hide

My husband and I, and our Springer Spaniel, enjoyed a lovely peaceful, comfortable and relaxing week. We have stayed at 1 Millstones on several occasions now, it is extremely well equipped with all that we need and this time it was particularly helpful to have a kitchen and front door that both opened perfectly.
