Property code: OC-GRS

A small end-terrace cottage on the edge of Walberswick, located in a quiet area of the village, with the common on the doorstep and the most stunning views across the Common towards the harbour beyond and Southwold. All amenities being nearby. Offering a peaceful sitting room, dining room, kitchen and an enclosed rear garden, this dog-friendly cottage is perfect for small families or a pair of couples longing for a restful break surrounded by gently undulating countryside.

Located on a quiet lane, this deceptively large cottage dates back to the 19th century and makes good use of space across its two tastefully-appointed floors. The sitting room is a comfortable place to enjoy refreshments and film nights and is just a few paw prints from the dining area. The family bathroom is found on the first floor, with the first floor bedrooms accessible via a staircase in the galley kitchen. There is ample storage space in the double bedroom, while the twin bedroom features bunk beds designed for guests young and old. The enclosed patio garden at the rear of the garden is split into two sections and is a fantastic spot for morning coffees, catching the sun over a good book or fortifying nightcaps before lights out.

Walberswick is an attractive village offering a host of dog-friendly amenities, with various paths and trails leading off in all directions across open heath and mixed woodland. Minsmere Nature Reserve, home to some of the UK’s rarest wildlife, lies within 2.5 miles of the property, while Dunwich, the site of the former capital of the Kingdom of the East Angles, feeds towards a shingle beach. The colourful and bustling seaside towns of Aldeburgh Southwold both lie within 10 miles.

Quiet location easy walks from the door and into the village. The main bedroom is very comfortable, the hot water is great, well equipped kitchen, everything you needed. Everything worked. It is a little scruffy but it is a cottage! The bunk beds are very low so difficult to get in/out of if kids or adults are normal size.

We had a great holiday. The village and location of the property are idyllic. Such a peaceful setting. Cottage in our view is probably 3 star, rather 4.

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.
