Situated in the coastal village of Walberswick, Pembroke Cottage makes for the perfect seaside escape. With a layout ideal for both families and friends, no matter the occasion, you are sure to have a memorable stay in this stylish self-catering cottage. Walberswick is a firm favourite with those looking for a coastal retreat with its sandy beach, great pubs, the picturesque harbour which separates Walberswick from neighbouring Southwold, and being arguably, one of the best crabbing spots around! Pembroke Cottage is ideally located to fully experience all that this seaside village has to offer.

Pembroke Cottage isn’t short on space and it has been beautifully furnished to provide a comfortable and welcoming space for six guests. The cosy sitting room is a sophisticated space – picture yourself spending an evening in playing games with your family in front of the roaring open fire. There’s also a playful snug ideal as a breakaway space for relaxing but be warned, if you have children with you then they may just take this space as their own!  Continuing on the ground floor, there is a spacious and contemporary kitchen/diner which is well equipped with everything you need for your self-catering stay. A utility room has all the essentials; equipped with washing machine and tumble dryer and offering a great place to stow away those sandy shoes!

When it’s time to recharge your batteries, then it’s up to the first floor where you’ll find four chic bedrooms. Bedroom 1 provides flexibility with zip and link beds meaning it can be made up as either a twin room or a super king bed (please let us know your requirement at time of booking). This room also boasts an ensuite shower room.  Bedroom 2 has a king size bed and the two remaining rooms host single beds. Completing the first floors is the family bathroom with bath and overhead Aqualisa shower.

The snug has french doors leading to the outside space – an enclosed garden with small patio area. Just picture yourself here, dining alfresco in the summer sunshine.  

There are two pubs and a café within walking distance from the cottage so you have the option of eating in or dining out. If you’re looking to explore a bit further then we recommend crossing the harbour to neighbouring Southwold via the quirky foot ferry, where you can soak up the vibrance of this popular seaside town and its delightful pier. If it’s the beach you’re after, the sandy stretch of beach and the dunes of Walberswick will not disappoint. Pembroke Cottage is ideally located to enjoy all of this and much more - it is sure to be a cottage you’ll be itching to return to!

Pub: 0.6 miles  Shop: 0.3 miles  Beach: 0.8 miles

What we love about this property? The ideal location is a firm favourite, being a short walk from the beach, pubs and the shop. So, whether you’re planning on stocking up and eating in, dining out or spending your days picnicking at the beach, you’ll have it all a stone’s throw away.

Perfect location with walks including into Southwold practically from the door step. Cottage was warm and open fire was most welcome as was the wood supply. Cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable. This was our second visit and we will certainly be back.

A super place to stay, in a quiet and very picturesque village. The Coop and deli are just a few minutes walk away, the lovely and easily accessed beach a little further, about 10 minutes. The cottage is beautifully decorated throughout in clean, light shades and quality furnishings. It's also wonderfully spacious, with plenty of space to store thRead moree large amount of paraphernalia that a holiday by the sea always seems to need! Plus, we had our 8 month old grandson with us so even more paraphernalia needed! The kitchen is very clean and well equipped, again with good quality items, and we didn't find anything lacking. The bedrooms are spacious, the showers efficient and there was no shortage of hot water. The garden is a nice space, well maintained. Despite the rather rainy weather we all enjoyed the holiday, and Pembroke Cottage was a lovely and very comfortable place to return to at the end of the day. Hide
