"Drift Cottage was a perfect location down a quiet lane but close enough to all the amenities. Great coastal and country walks. The accommodation worked well for 7 people and I would highly recommend it to future holiday makers". - Sian Dorrington

Escape to this tastefully remodelled 1920s cottage with a bright interior and crisp design touches, nestled in a peaceful location on the Suffolk coast. This inviting property is ideal for families and groups seeking a seaside retreat. Step out into the delightful heart of Walberswick, 200 metres, and enjoy a selection of tearooms, galleries, and crafts shops, or venture to the harbour and pick up some fresh seafood for dinner.

While away the hours on the sandy shores of Southwold Beach and dine alfresco on the impressive pier.

We spent a week at Drift Cottage at the beginning of June with our 2 dogs. The cottage was perfect with comfy sofas, plenty of space for coats, shoes, dog beds etc. The bedrooms were lovely and again felt really comfortable. It was a proper home from home with everything you need and more for a self catering holiday.The cottage is ideally located iRead moren Walberswick, with walks to southwold and the estuary right on your dorstep. The dog friendly beach is only a 5 minutes walk away which was perfect for a last walk before bedtime. There's also a well stocked Co-op and the fabulous Black Dog deli and 2 pubs just moments away. All in all it's a perfect place to stay, a real gem, and we will certainly be back again. Hide

Perfect location with good access to walks and beach. Cottage suited our needs and was well fitted out. Could do with more instructions for hot water and appliances.
