A lovely comfy cottage in a great location. Walberswick is a beautiful village and we had a great time. We can highly recommend the Bell Inn and there are lots of great walks from the doorstep.

Lovely cottage in a perfect situation, close to the beach and with a beautiful view of Southwold across the river. Good pubs and a useful Co-op. Go in July when the holly hocks are in full bloom!!
