Infused with character, home to celebrity residents and once world famous for its crab-catching competitions, Walberswick is among the most desirable locations along the Suffolk coast. The village has much to discover, including a long sand and shingle beach backed by grassy dunes (2 miles). Sitting amid the Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape, it’s a great base for walks. You could follow walks along the River Blyth, over Bailey Bridge, or take a short ferry ride to the Blackshore, Southwold’s historic harbour – with a choice of cafes, restaurants and pubs. Head across Southwold Common (1.5 miles) or along the beach to the town’s iconic seafront, lined with beach huts and featuring a landmark lighthouse and pier. Southwold is home to the Adnams Brewery, alongside an excellent choice of independent stores, galleries and fine food purveyors. Visit the store or book a tour for a true taste of local life.Located on a quiet residential close, this stylish holiday home sits midway between Walberswick’s historic church and its unspoilt beach. Step inside and a shower room is conveniently positioned off the main hallway – perfect for rinsing off the sand and salt. Head onwards and the living room has a seaside vibe, with a choice of comfortable sofas arranged before the Smart TV and wood burner. Huge bi-fold doors open directly onto the patio and lawned garden beyond, linking your inside and outdoor living spaces. A separate snug with its own TV offers an alternative lounge area for guests seeking time away from the larger group. The kitchen is sure to be a hive of activity; the one here has all the essentials for fuss-free self-catering and features a retro breakfast table and chairs combo which complements the more formal setting of the adjacent dining room. A utility room off the kitchen adds to the ease of your stay, with a changing area that can be accessed directly from the front of the house – ideal if the dogs have sandy paws after their adventures at the beach. When night falls, head upstairs and choose from five fabulous bedrooms. For ultimate flexibility, three of these have zip-and-link beds, which can be made up as either a twin or a super-king-size bed. There’s one single room and a master super-king-size room, which has its own en-suite bathroom. A separate family bathroom completes the convenience for all.The enclosed garden here is huge, and south-facing so it captures the sun throughout the day. Complete with a lawn, a choice of seating areas and a BBQ deck, it also has a shed that houses a range of outdoor games, including badminton, croquet and table tennis. There’s also plenty of private parking, so you can explore Walberswick and its surroundings at your leisure.
