The Hut, Walberswick

‘We have stayed in many Suffolk cottages over the years but The Hut’ Walberswick is, without any hesitation, top of the list. The setting is just amazing. 
Views from the sitting room, garden and beautiful new annex bedroom are just stunning. The cottage is very comfortable and although simply furnished 
had everything we needed. We even managed to cook using the baby belling cooker- memories of our first home in early 1980’s. The hut feels like a cosy original home -
 beautiful artwork on the walls and colour in the furnishing. We did not want to leave and have many super memories - fish and chips from Southwold harbour 
(which can be seen from the cottage windows), hiring bikes and cycling to Dunwich, a whole day walk to Covehithe and back are just a few of them.

  We had such a lovely time thank you. It was particularly nice to be there for the fete although alas that was our one day of bad weather! 
  We had a lovely meal at the Anchor and enjoyed ice creams from the Parish Lantern as well as great cake at the tea shack. We enjoyed the exotic garden at Henstead and visits to both Blythburgh and Southwold churches which are fantastic historical buildings. We also enjoyed fish and chips from the Little Fish and Chip shop in Southwold. 
  In terms of feedback about the house, it is truly lovely, very nicely decorated and such great views across the river. RC August 2024

   

  One of the surprises that we enjoyed immensely was the ever changing view - the cloudscape was absorbing - pinks & blues in the September light. The cattle and geese revolved around the pastures & bats appeared at dusk, with geese flying in to roost. The Hut was a charming base - comfy beds. We have a Labrador aged 11 years, the property worked very well for holidaying with pet. Perfect garden space. We've enjoyed having a whole week to enjoy Walberswick when (as Suffolk residents) we normally only come for day trips. Thank you. I & S M September 2022

• This is our second visit & for 2 weeks this time which made it even more relaxing. Such a great house & wonderful view. We arrived to hot summer weather & it was cool autumn by the time we left. Thank you Amanda! September 2022

• We had a great time at The Hut last week. What great weather we had! We spent a lot of time on the beach and generally exploring the local area. The Hut itself is really nicely presented and it feels well thought out. I like the interior design, the owner has obviously put a lot of effort into making it a lovely space. The kitchen is well appointed, sometimes in holiday cottages you don't get enough utensils etc to actually do proper cooking but everything we needed was there. We really liked having the space in the garden, and of course the views across the marsh and to Southwold harbour. The hut was clean and whilst it is a bit small was ok for us as 4 adults and 2 children. It's really peaceful and quiet. Thank you for a pleasant stay, hopefully we will be back in Walberswick soon!

• We had a lovely time in the Hut last week, thank you. And we were so lucky with the weather! We all feel quite sad to be back home. The house is great, a very clever design making the most of the site and its views. And it feels like a real home (some lovely pictures) not just a rented place. We also enjoyed sitting in the garden watching the changing scene. The beds are very comfortable. The arrangement was particularly suitable for us because our 22 year old son could have privacy whenever he wanted it in the annex. LW September 2021

• “we have had so much fun staying here. We have been on lots of beautiful walks and played on the beach. We are so sad to leave The Hut but we hope to come again soon”. Nell, aged 9, May 2021

  “From inside to outside, its slanty lines and Scandi decor provide the perfect views and refuge” Miranda, May 2021
