Guests say
The Lodge in Walberswick is highly praised for its charming character, spacious and well-equipped interiors, and large garden. Its proximity to local amenities, the beach, and the ability to accommodate large groups and families, including pets, makes it a favoured holiday spot. Guests appreciate the property's peaceful location and the convenience of nearby attractions.
Most guests found The Lodge to be well-maintained, though there were isolated mentions of cleanliness issues such as a cupboard needing cleaning and a dishwasher not being emptied. These seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is consistently lauded for being ideal, with easy access to the beach, local shops, and pubs. Its seclusion within a bustling village adds to its appeal.
The Lodge is frequently described as comfortable and spacious, suitable for large groups and families. However, there were minor comments about a chilly downstairs bedroom and the need for windows that could open.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the kitchen and garden. Criticisms include the need for better Wi-Fi, a larger TV, and maintenance of the dishwasher. Some guests struggled with the induction hob, and there were comments about broken windows and a lack of expected outdoor furniture.
While guests express delight with the property and mention a welcome note and tray, there is insufficient information to determine if this is a consistent offering or a one-off gesture. Therefore, a score cannot be accurately provided.

The Lodge was perfect for our multi generational family; grandparents, parents and 4 children ages 2, 3 & 7. It provided a wonderful base for exploring Walberswick and the surrounding area. Near to The Anchor pub the Black Dog Deli, small Co-op, tea rooms, gift shops, village green, car parks and ferry. It is tucked away down a small lane so very peaceful. Although the garden is advertised as not being secure we couldn’t find any means for our little ones to escape and the large garden was perfect for them to play in while we watched on from the large well furnished patio. The house with its amazingly large kitchen overlooking the garden and patio is well stocked with everything you might need. There is plenty of parking space, probably could accommodate 5 or 6 cars if needed. We had a magical holiday here, would highly recommend The Lodge and happily return.
