When you picture a quintessential seaside village on the Suffolk coast, Walberswick immediately springs to mind, with its gorgeous array of chocolate box cottages, charming independent shops, a café, delicious deli, village green and pubs. Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with an unspoilt sandy beach and grassy dunes that lead onto 1000 acres of marshland, this really is an idyllic place to come and relax. Southwold is just 5 miles away by car or in the summer months walk to the harbour and catch the rowing boat ferry across the water. Head towards the iconic lighthouse where the town boasts some excellent local shops, cafes, and restaurants. In the opposite direction, is the idyllic village of Dunwich. Meander along the boardwalk that runs alongside the river, stopping at the tea rooms on the beach before circling back along the shores of the North Sea.

This gorgeous family friendly holiday home is the ideal escape for eight. Unwind in this chic and stylish scandi property that has been wonderfully modernised whilst maintaining many of the original features. At the heart of this coastal bolthole is the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a full length floor to ceiling glass wall that looks across the garden allowing plenty of light to flood in. The kitchen is fully equipped and centred around a large island with eight wooden stools to enjoy cooking and dining together, as well as a further dining table with seating for all. A roaring wood burner situated in the original fireplace helps keep this open space warm in the chillier months and is a great spot to snuggle up on an armchair and indulge in a good book or cup of tea. To the front of the house, is an additional lounge with vintage furnishings, another wood burner and a Smart TV. Upstairs hosts all four bedrooms and continues the simple yet stylish scandi décor. There are three generous king-size bedrooms and a bunk bedroom ideal for children. An en-suite shower room serves the main bedroom, whilst a family bathroom and wet room on the ground floor is shared between the others. A utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer is a handy addition to the house too.

Outside offers an enclosed space to relax in the Suffolk sunshine throughout the day with an area of the garden laid to lawn, there is plenty of room for children and dogs to run around.

An excellent holiday stay property. My family and I were comfortable, warm and relaxed. The layout and facilities allowed for a very comfortable stay. Its position within the village is excellent too - and the garden a bonus.

Rooftree is in a fab location, couldn't have wished to be anywhere better. The property is perfect for those bringing a couple of dogs, as it was great for the garden (we did clear up after the dogs), and the wooden floors were ideal.

Roof Tree is a lovely cottage situated centrally in the village just 5mins walk from the excellent Anchor Pub. Although the central heating radiators were very efficient, in cold weather you would need it running the whole time as the house is not well insulated and very draughty. The front room wood burner that we used uses a lot of wood that you Read morecan buy in bags from the local store in the village. The house and the garden are good for dogs. Hide

Excellent location - loved that we could walk to the deli, Co-op, village pubs and the playground on the green. We had a lot of fun crabbing with the equipment available in the garage. Our two families with 4 young children (ranging from 4 months to 4yo) felt really at home and the kids had a lot of fun playing with the toys at the house. We had a Read morereally enjoyable stay and would look to return next summer! Hide
