Fen Cottage, Walberswick

A light and airy three bedroom cottage, sensitively renovated to high Eco spec with super insulation, triple glazing, EV charger, and an air source heat pump. This charming cottage with fantastic views is hidden away down a quiet lane yet close to the beach, a popular green with slides and swings, the ferry to Southwold and two excellent pubs. Despite the extensive renovation, the interiors have plenty of residual charm throughout the sociable open plan ground floor, the three 1st floor bedrooms ( 2 double,1 twin) and bathroom.

Fen Cottage offers a year round opportunity to sample a high comfort, yet low carbon lifestyle in a beautiful setting in one of England’s loveliest seaside villages. There are three bedrooms with the capacity to sleep four adults and two children. The cottage is timber clad and has a stable door front entrance into the main sitting and dining space, with a back door to the courtyard style garden.

Reviews:
1. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fen Cottage thank you. The cottage is beautiful and had everything we needed. We didn’t travel too far, but did a couple of lovely walks worth noting. we walked from Walberswick to Dunwich one day for lunch at the pub and back. We had a wonderful meal at The Ship. We also walked a circular route from Sizewell to Thorpeness and had another wonderful lunch at the pub in Thorpeness. Other than that we walked our dog a lot around Walberswick and Southwold and relaxed in the garden of the cottage. We certainly hope to return one day.
Thank you!

2. Hello, had a lovely stay, cottage very well equipped and a very convenient location. We enjoyed the outside space. Bed and bedding really comfortable, everywhere was very clean. Thank you!!

3. We chose to stay at Fen Cottage primarily for the car charger however having stayed in the property next door last Summer, with our Labrador, we also knew it was positioned down a quiet lane with fantastic views to Southwold Blackshore. Wildlife enthusiasts will enjoy the wild geese grazing on the field behind. Seeing the lighthouse blinking at night and stepping out with so many lovely (dog) walks on the doorstep, not least a short stroll to the harbourside (plus ferry) and beach is a real treat.

4. The cottage itself is very much run along sustainable lines and has an air source heat pump which successfully heats the property. It is well insulated, so during the early Spring months we were warm and cosy with the added bonus of an open fire should we wish .

Please note the maximum occupancy of the cottage is four adults and two children, not six adults.
