Is Vine Cottage Walberswick Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

The cottage offers space for hide and seek across multiple rooms. The beach sits 900 feet away for sandcastle building and crabbing at the quayside. However, cottage-style stairs throughout and a fenced pond in the front garden require supervision. No stair gates are provided. One review specifically noted the property isn't best suited for young children due to the layout and creaky upstairs floors.

For Couples

Couples can enjoy the 7-seater hot tub in the private courtyard after coastal walks. Two separate lounges with wood burners create cosy spaces. The cottage sits 260 feet from The Bell pub for dining out. Beach sunsets over the water are accessible within minutes. The secluded front garden with patio offers peaceful morning coffee spots. While spacious, the property works better for couples as part of a larger group booking.

Pet Friendly

Vine Cottage welcomes two dogs with ground floor access only. The enclosed rear courtyard provides secure outdoor space. A converted garage stores bikes and dog walking equipment. Coastal paths start from the doorstep with beach access 900 feet away. The village green sits opposite for quick exercise breaks. Reviews highlight the property as brilliantly set up for dogs with practical facilities throughout the ground floor areas.

Diane

A lovely big holiday house with hot tub in a great location. Plenty to see with two lovely pubs in the village. Heating instructions are not clear and if visiting with small children be mindful that window upstairs open very wide.

Karen

Great location. Well fitted out, great house for hide and seek. Local pubs close. As is the sea fab to listen to at night. End of season so needs a good clean in the downstairs communal areas.

Deborah

This cottage is ideal for a group . Lots of rooms and places where you could all be together , or find a place on your own . Lovely location in the village close to the ferry , beach, pubs , and shops . Comfy beds , practical kitchen, two fridges , wet room , laundry room and hot tub !! Weâ??d love to visit again !

Christopher

A lovely and unusual cottage in a great village. There were many amenities in the house. We were able to take our dogs on lovely walks. There are plenty of places to vist within easy travelling distances from Walberswick.

Mrs H M

A lovely, characterful cottage, or two in reality, merged into one. Two kitchens, which was handy as we had both meat eaters and vegans amongst us. The setting in Walberswick is really lovely, affording interesting walks and sunsets over the trees and the water. Visiting in winter parking was not a problem (four cars) within the small drive and the street where the cottage is. Restrictions apply at other times. As a setting for an annual weekend away for our amateur writing group the cottage suited very well, with lots of corners to hide away and write, and a generous sitting room to come togehter as well. A splendidly big table was great for shared meals! We all agreed, despite a few minor niggles (the house was freezing cold when we arrived, would have been good if the heating had been turned on for us) we would definitely come again.

Deborah

we rented Vine Cottage for two families with children wtih autism - they do not get holidays, they loved the space and locaation

Sally

Vine cottage is such a beautiful place to stay. We couldn't have asked for more in terms of facilities and comfort. We loved the hot tub too. The location is perfect also. Would highly recommend and return ourselves.

Teresa

Not best for children due to so many rooms / doors /stairs no stair gates, odds and ends in the cottage and floors very creaky upstairs so not best when trying to sleep

Katherine

Brilliant location for a beach holiday, the cottage is well equipped and sleeps plenty, although space wise it did feel a little cramped with 8 adults and 3 children!

Christopher

Fantastic location. Peaceful and relaxing. Great walks and two lovely pubs close by. Excellent deli in the village and handy local shop.

Carolyn

A well stocked very spacious property in a lovely location. The dining room with its dual aspect folding doors creates a lovely space for eating and family time. The information in the property could do with updating and being a little more detailed. Sadly the rugs and chairs were unacceptably dirty and not what you would expect from a property of this calibre.

Lucy

The perfect choice for a relaxing 50th birthday weekend with friends. Flexible living and sleeping space and lovely outdoor areas to enjoy the fresh air. Hot tub was a fun bonus! Incredible location overlooking the pretty village green, easy walking distance to great pubs, beach and village shop. Spotlessly clean, and a thoughtful welcome basket of snacks and staples was much appreciated. Would definitely stay again.

Catharine

Lovely location, very close to great pub and many lovely walks including beautiful beaches, plenty of bathrooms, comfortable beds, good family space. Hot tub much enjoyed by all! Information regarding property requires updating and isn't currently accurate.

Sarah

We had a lovely stay. The cottage was generally well equipped and was brilliantly set up for the dogs Lovely social dining area which was well used by us as was the hot tub.

Lesley

Quirky, cosy, comfortable

Sara

Vine Cottage was lovely and in the perfect location for our multi-generational family Christmas. It was wonderful being only 100 steps from The Bell pub and 5 minutes from the beach. The cottage was cosy and welcoming, with very comfortable beds, great bathrooms and the bonus of a hot tub! Easy parking too.
