Property code: OC-SPINN

Situated on a quiet country lane in the seaside town of Walberswick, this quaint cottage is perfect for families or a group of friends and one lucky pup looking for a relaxing seaside retreat. Walberswick is an ideal base for exploring the spectacular Suffolk coastline, and the dog-friendly beach is less than a mile away via the rowing boat ferry. By car, it''s a 9-mile journey, and you can stop off in the vibrant town of Southwold (8 miles) on the way.

A unique and beautiful two-storey property with exposed beams, bold and eclectic decor, and a cosy feel. Each of the spacious rooms offers something distinctive in terms of country style with a contemporary twist. On the ground floor is a bright kitchen/diner with Shaker-style cabinets, all your essential appliances and a rustic wooden dining table where you can enjoy your favourite family dishes or celebratory meals. Unwind in the peaceful lounge area and get cosy in front of the crackling wood burner while your hound slumbers at your feet. There are plenty of comfortable chairs to rest on while you chat or watch the Smart TV. On balmy summer evenings, you can open the French doors and settle down on the terrace to chat. Upstairs, you will find the family bathroom along with three bedrooms - a double room with an en-suite shower room, a double and a family room with a king and twin beds in. Outside, there is almost an acre of lawned area to enjoy along with a wildflower garden and a patio area with garden furniture including children's swings.

Local attractions for top dogs include a trip to RSPB Dingle Marshes, where you''ll need to keep your pup on a lead while they seek out adventure on the circular walk through a shingle ridge, marshes and the edge of Dunwich Forest. If your pup loves to hunt for sticks, then head to Dunwich Forest (5 miles), with its mix of forest, marsh, and wetlands. Tunstall Forest and Trails (20 miles) is also ideal for exploring and meeting other pups out on their walks.

Wonderfully luxurious to have such spacious rooms. We have stayed in Walberswick many times and we found that having such a very large garden made a big difference to the children, who spent plenty of time outside playing (note tree house is broken, but there are several wonderful swings). Multiple times a deer appeared in the garden, quite magicalRead more. We really liked the telly being off in its own snug room and not in the main living / dining room, that probably also helped keep the children outside! It was lovely to stay somewhere which gives the joys of a gorgeous traditional building - but then actually has easily-adjustable underfloor hearing and non-drafty windows. Great to have nice big table outside and loungers to enjoy the garden. All round very happy with the house. Hide

Had a lovely stay at Spinners, large quiet and secluded garden away from beach. Wonderful prospect and outdoor dining areas. House was comfortable and a pleasure to stay in. Look forward to returning.
