Property code: OC-HHOCK

Situated in the very heart of the quintessential seaside village of Walberswick, sits Hollyhocks – a charming and welcoming holiday home perfect for your next Suffolk staycation. With the sandy shores and beautiful walks just a stone’s throw from the front door, this is an ideal spot for relaxing and having convenience during your stay.

This charming and beautifully presented property offers a great space for four. Entering the lobby from the garden, you will find a utility space ideal for coats, shoes and sandy feet! Housing a washing machine and a separate ground floor cloakroom in here further adds to the convenience for your stay. Hollyhocks offers a farmhouse style kitchen/diner which is a generous space for whipping up some culinary delights and reminiscing after days spent exploring this beautiful coastline over a home cooked meal. With beautiful bespoke units, this well-crafted kitchen is a great space for prepping meals during your stay. To the front of this charming cottage is the sitting room which has comfortable seating and a Smart TV. The light and airy space is made private with café style shutters at the front window.

Upstairs, you will find two bedrooms and a spacious shower room. The master bedroom is a generous room hosting a king size bed and you can open the shutters and look out towards the distant sea. Again, your privacy is in mind here with shutters at the windows. The second bedroom sits to the rear of the property, overlooking the rear courtyard garden. It is beautifully presented and hosts full size twin single beds, making this an ideal property for families and friends looking to holiday in this popular location.

Outside the cottage has a small front garden and, to the rear, a pretty, private, fully enclosed, courtyard style garden offering peace of mind to any visitors with young children. The gate has a high latch as added safety for young children. Start your day with a coffee in the morning sunshine or relax out here into the evening; whatever you decide, this well-presented courtyard with pretty borders is the perfect addition to this seaside cottage.

So, to be in a prime position in this gorgeous seaside village then we truly do recommend a stay at Hollyhocks.

We have been using Suffolk Secrets for a number of years and must confess this was probably our best stay yet. The decor of the property was first class. Beds and linen clean and comfortable as was the furniture. Cannot thank you enough for allowing us to stay at Hollyhocks.

This was our third stay booked through Suffolk Secrets. The location of the house was perfect for our needs; however, we were slightly disappointed that there was no Christmas tree for our stay. In our previous stays around the UK, a tree has always been provided, so we had to rush to find one ourselves. Additionally, the kitchen could use more cleRead moreaning supplies. Despite these minor issues, we had a fantastic stay in a great location, close to the sea and even closer to the pub. Hide

This is a hard one as the cottage and the village ate so lovely. However, it is right opposite a pub which us not just a quiet village pub. They have a licence for weddings and private parties in a marquee attached at the back. This went on til midnight on the Saturday and the Wed of our stay and it was like sitting in a nightclub in the lounge of Read morethe cottage. This wasn't what we signed up for when we booked a holiday in a "sleepy village" and really spoiled the experience. Hide

Fabulous cottage right in the centre of Walberswick. The cottage has everything you need for a stay by the coast and has been equipped to a high standard. Excellent walks from the doorstep either along the river and beach or inland. Great pubs and an excellent Deli in the village too!
