Overview
Property code: OC-VIN

Celebrate with friends, family and your four-legged friends at this quirky cottage which is a fantastic option as two former cottages joined together ensuring ample space for everyone. Situated in Walberswick, you’ll be less than a mile from the beach which welcomes pups all year round to run and fetch to their hearts’ content.

Seamlessly blending the old with the new, this large Victorian house has two spacious living rooms, both furnished with sumptuous seating options and wood burners whilst one features a dining table seating six. The main dining room benefits from being dual aspect, allowing natural light to pour in through the front and back of the room whilst you gather together to eat on the stylish, modern table. Two kitchens ensure ample space for preparing breakfast, lunch and dinner for large numbers, as well as the opportunity for two groups to enjoy their own space by sharing the facilities. Completing the ground floor is a wetroom-style bathroom and a cloakroom for extra storage. Upstairs on the first floor, you’ll find a selection of bedrooms including a king-size bedroom which has an interconnecting door to the twin room, ideal for families with young children. In addition, there is a further double bedroom and two bright and airy single rooms. At the front of the property there is a pretty lawned garden with an enclosed pond where tranquil days can be spent with your pup whilst at the back, a patio area offers a third option for dining when the weather is warm.

Walberswick itself is a wonderful location for a holiday, oozing with charm with a number of dog-friendly pubs and restaurants to visit during your stay. Let your dog lead the way to the ‘lost city’ of Dunwich where you’ll now find an atmospheric shingle beach and a heathland nature reserve with plenty of flora and fauna to sniff out on a walk. Hop aboard a river tour at Oulton Broad (17 miles) for a calming afternoon gliding along the waters, or take on the 7-mile long Sailors’ Path between Aldeburgh (15 miles) and Snape Maltings (17 miles) to experience a plethora of terrain from whimsical woodlands to sun-dappled spots by the River Alde - a route which is sure to get tails wagging.

Lovely holiday home in excellent position. Living rooms very homely, kitchens and bathrooms clean and efficient, plenty of hot water, masses of cutlery and crockery and kitchen implements. Great to have two fridges, dishwashers, etc. Only disadvantage that one set of stairs was a bit difficult for anyone with any mobility issues. Front garden veRead morery pleasant to sit in, well screened from road, safe for dog. Hot tub worked well. Two good pubs within short walk, local shop and deli within ten minutes walk, tea rooms just across the green, dunes, beach and ferry to Southwold just down the road. Plenty of room for nine of us with dog. Hide

The cottage itself was in a great location, it was clean, with lots of facilities and worked well to accommodate 9 of us sharing a family birthday celebratory weekend together. However on arrival my elderly parents found there was no heating on and no electricity in half of the house. It was dark at this time, and they couldnt work out how to turnRead more on heating. We called maintenance who came out to sort, which they did, although they didnt call us back to tell us, and eventually we warmed up the house (it took a day to feel actually warm as it had got so cold inside). The system seemed very old and temperamental. Luckily we found lots of extras duvets to help keep us warm and had brought some wood for wood burner. I was mostly disappointed that no one had clearly visited the house that day to turn on the heating as you would expect. The heating system itself needs a serious upgrade too as it was hard to operate. It seemed to either be too hot after that, or it would switch off again completely and get cold very fast. Not ideal, with young children and elderly parents. One of our party also needed the EV charger. They had contacted beforehand to find out how to use but on arrival we couldnt make it work. More phone calls where we were told to phone the owner on the number in the welcome pack at the house. We searched for this to no avail, so another call, a phone number passed over, contact made with owner and eventually we got it working. A lot of unnecessary stress on our first night, which did not go down well and was a very disappointing start to our weekend away. Otherwise hot hub was great, and we had a great time. Loved location, pubs are lovely in village and all round had a great stay. Hide

A lovely big holiday house with hot tub in a great location. Plenty to see with two lovely pubs in the village. Heating instructions are not clear and if visiting with small children be mindful that window upstairs open very wide.

A lovely, characterful cottage, or two in reality, merged into one. Two kitchens, which was handy as we had both meat eaters and vegans amongst us. The setting in Walberswick is really lovely, affording interesting walks and sunsets over the trees and the water. Visiting in winter parking was not a problem (four cars) within the small drive and theRead more street where the cottage is. Restrictions apply at other times. As a setting for an annual weekend away for our amateur writing group the cottage suited very well, with lots of corners to hide away and write, and a generous sitting room to come togehter as well. A splendidly big table was great for shared meals! We all agreed, despite a few minor niggles (the house was freezing cold when we arrived, would have been good if the heating had been turned on for us) we would definitely come again. Hide
