This was our second stay in this accommodation and we had an equally pleasant stay as last year. The apartment is set in a very tranquil location in the lovely village of Walberswick, which is ideally situated for exploring the attractions of this part of Suffolk, such as the RSPB reserve at Minsmere and the nearby seaside town of Southwold.

Absolutely wonderful well equipped property, great location to get to Southwold or just wander round Walberswick, lovely walk along to Dunwich. Southwold Lighthouse well worth a visit as is The Black Dog Deli and Anchor pub. A delicious cherry and almond cake was left for us which we thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely visit again.

This cottage is in a lovely, quiet part of Walberswick, and its possible to walk to the beach. Good sized accommodation, which is all bright and modern. Lots of kitchen equipment should you want to cook. I would note: the bed in bedroom one is two singles zipped up, not a king size bed and the sofas in the living room are quite low, not that easy tRead moreo get up from. Theres a lovely big shared garden. We also had use of the parking permit which was very handy. Wed recommend The Tea Shed in the village for breakfast and cakes; and The Bell Inn for a welcoming pub meal. It was our first visit to Walberswick and well be back. Hide
