Overview
Property code: OC-GRS

Gorse Cottage is a charming and cosy former fisherman's cottage in the popular seaside village of Walberswick. Found down a quiet lane, close to Walberswick Church, with the most stunning views across the Common towards the harbour beyond and Southwold. Boasting a peaceful location and with parking available, so park the car and discover this lovely area by foot or bike. The local pubs, cafes and beach are just a short distance from the cottage, as are the children's play areas. The cottage is surrounded by the Common with no passing traffic so ideal for those looking for a peaceful retreat with a rear garden to enjoy the evening nightingale's chorus. Walberswick is a prime destination for holidaymakers looking to be based at the very best of the Suffolk Heritage coast. Beach: Just a short walk Shop: 0.5 miles. Pub: 0.6 miles.

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.

We had a wonderful week. The cottage had everything we wanted, also the beautiful views and birdsong were a delight. There are many walks from right outside the front door.
