"Drift Cottage was a perfect location down a quiet lane but close enough to all the amenities. Great coastal and country walks. The accommodation worked well for 7 people and I would highly recommend it to future holiday makers". - Sian Dorrington

This is a delightful 1920s semi-detached period cottage, sitting on the edge of the common on a quiet lane. Drift Cottage sleeps eight in four or five bedrooms, has private parking, and enjoys open views from the front aspect. It has a charming and good sized south-facing garden that is fully enclosed, the main village shop, the main street, and the beach beyond are also within easy walking distance along with Southwold harbour.

We spent a week at Drift Cottage at the beginning of June with our 2 dogs. The cottage was perfect with comfy sofas, plenty of space for coats, shoes, dog beds etc. The bedrooms were lovely and again felt really comfortable. It was a proper home from home with everything you need and more for a self catering holiday.The cottage is ideally located iRead moren Walberswick, with walks to southwold and the estuary right on your dorstep. The dog friendly beach is only a 5 minutes walk away which was perfect for a last walk before bedtime. There's also a well stocked Co-op and the fabulous Black Dog deli and 2 pubs just moments away. All in all it's a perfect place to stay, a real gem, and we will certainly be back again. Hide

Lovely well equipped cottage in a fantastic setting, nice large private garden. Easy walk to the village. We all (large family group) thoroughly enjoyed the long weekend, great sociable space in a terrific location. Booking process was clear and well managed. Would definitely stay here again and would also book other locations with Original CottageRead mores. Hide
