Hoist Cottage, Walberswick

My family and I were delighted with Hoist Cottage .

. We found it to be very stylish and roomy with a comfortable lounge and lovely kitchen /dining room and it suited us very well .. there is a spacious private garden with a driveway for the car with lockable gates and high hedges and fences .. Walberswick is a very pretty village and Hoist Cottage is a short walk to the beach and two pubs/restaurants ..both serve lovely food and wine.

A fantastic stay at Hoist Cottage.

It was comfy, cosy and very welcoming. Looking forward to booking a further visit at some point.

A wonderful cottage with everything needed for a relaxing break.

The cottage although in a residential area is surrounded by tall hedges and secure fencing so feels very private. It is in a great location for access to shops and places to eat and the lovely beach at Walberswick. Hope to return next year

A very nice cottage couldn’t fault it , only negative A gardener turned up to do some gardening & mow the lawn at 7 in the morning which is not ideal when you are on holiday

Very comfortable and a lovely property.

Nice secluded garden.

This was the perfect Suffolk base with our two children.

They absolutely loved the garden and their garden room and spent many hours playing happily in the sun. The house was cosy and welcing and very well equipped. We loved it so much we've booked again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

My mother struggled with her mattress, it was lumpy and thin.

...she had several uncomfortable nights. The table in the kitchen was too low to sit under and we wondered whether we could find some bricks to sure it up. I slept well but the mattresses were on the tin side and it took a few nights to get used to that. Apart from these things, the cottage was excellent with all that we needed. We loved the garden and the layout of the house, the views from the sitting room.

Ideal for us.

Especially the bike storage. Clean and roomy. However, spent all week looking for the welcome pack without any luck.

Hoist Cottage is a lovely clean and spacious holiday cottage.

All the facilities we needed were available and we loved the large garden which suited out seven year old twin grand children. Bonuses, Close to the sea, walk to the shop and the pub and easy trip to Southwold. We will book again.

We had a lovely week in hoist cottage.

Very comfortable, clean with a lovely big garden. The summer house was full of toys and one of the bedrooms had soft toys and books for younger children, a thoughtful touch. It would have been nice to have a welcome pack with a few essentials, bread, milk etc ( not a criticism a suggestion). Lots to do in the surrounding area, a great family holiday.

Everything excellent including your communications.

Not a complaint but the welcome pack referred to in the Guide was not there.

Our second time to this fabulous and comfortable cottage.

Everything we needed for a relaxing no worries week away.

Very comfortable and clean with all the facilities you need.

Not sure if it is Sykes Cottages policy but missed not having a welcome pack on arrival.

We enjoyed much of the stay and found the cottage generally spacious and comfortable, however there were a few issues worth mentioning.

The main kitchen table and chairs are not very well matched; we were 6 normal sized adults and all found it hard to sit and eat with sufficient legroom under the edge of the table. Either the chairs need to be lower or the table higher! One of the bath towels had several bleach stains on it - that's definitely not the standard we expect from Sykes. The kitchen area had two spotlights blown when we arrived (we informed Sykes and the owner); we were surprised to find only one spare bulb in the utility cupboard. Given the flow of traffic outside the front gate we wondered whether it might be safer to trim back the immediate shrubbery - to allow clearer visibility? Hope you find these points constructive...and we loved the village, its surrounds and the walking opportunities.

A lovely cottage, well equipped and very clean.

The big garden is a great bonus!

Lovely cottage with everything we needed!

Beds and bedrooms very comfortable as well as the lounge room. Equipment in the shed for crabbing very helpful. Summer room lovely for children, and a very nice welcome with soft toys in the bedroom. Lego under the stairs was also fab! A new potato peeler would be welcome… Thank you very much for a fantastic week!

Stayed there twice before, only minor complaint was dust under the beds which hadn't been cleaned.

Otherwise all great

It was very clean and well-kept with fresh and pleasant decor.

Particularly liked the bath with a view! One of the two paving stones by the front gate tips underfoot, which could do with fixing for safety given that the road is right in front. Didn't notice the arrival of the oil refill people as warned by email, but the timing of the gardener's visit on the first morning of the stay was unexpected and a little obtrusive, although he tried to be as discreet as possible.

A beautiful cottage with everything you could need.

Thank you!

The cottage felt like a home away from home.

Very peaceful and relaxing. We have been spoilt with the sunshine so we made the most of the outdoor space. Thank you.

3rd time at Hoist and another magical holiday with the family.

Lots of sea swimming, crabbing, trips to Southwold and relaxing at the house. Look forward to returning soon :)

Great location for a family with young children.

Liked the garden activity equipment.

Had a lovely time, in fact so good that we've booked again for 2024.

Owner was very prompt in responding to an issue with the hot water - thank you.
