Guests say
The Lantern Loft receives glowing praise for its beautiful decor, immaculate cleanliness, and superb central location in Walberswick. Guests consistently highlight the comfort, well-equipped kitchen, and peaceful atmosphere, making it ideal for families and groups. The proximity to local pubs, cafes, and the beach is a major plus. Thoughtful touches such as welcome gifts are frequently mentioned, though not guaranteed. Minor issues, such as the lack of a garden, occasional missing items, or tricky fridge handles, are far outweighed by the overwhelmingly positive feedback and repeat visits.
Cleanliness is repeatedly described as 'spotless', 'immaculate', and 'very clean' by numerous guests, with no significant negative comments. Only one minor mention of an unemptied dishwasher was noted, but this did not detract from the overall impression.
The location is universally praised as perfect, central, and ideal for exploring Walberswick and Southwold. Guests love the proximity to the beach, pubs, cafes, and ferry, with no negative comments about the setting.
Guests consistently describe the property as comfortable, relaxing, and well-suited for families and groups. The beds, furnishings, and overall atmosphere are highly rated, with only very minor comments about missing cot/travel cot for infants.
The apartment is described as well-equipped, stylish, and thoughtfully renovated. Facilities such as the kitchen, balcony, and bathrooms are praised. Minor issues include tricky fridge handles, lack of trouser hangers, and no garden (just a balcony), but these are rare and do not significantly impact the overall experience.
Many guests mention thoughtful touches such as welcome gifts (wine, biscuits, apple juice, fudge), high-quality crockery, and diffusers. However, as gifts are not guaranteed, future guests should note that these may not always be provided.

Elizabeth Cooper
Had an excellent week's stay at the Lantern Loft. Gorgeous accommodation and well equipped. Enjoyed many evenings watching the sunset from the balcony. It is a great central location in Walberswick with parking available in the Village Hall Car Park close by. We didn't really need to communicate with the owners as there were no problems but they were helpful on arrival and departure days. Staff in the cafe below were very helpful and friendly. The cake, scones and pizza from the cafe were delicious!

Confirmed Guest
A superb, well equipped, very clean apartment in an ideal location,...a minutes walk to the lovely beach and a couple of minutes to the ferry boat over to Southwold. The owner was very helpful with a small issue we had and was regularly on site in the cafe below. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back
