The Viking Hutte--complete with roof top vulture keeping a keen eye on the neighbours--is a dual purpose building in the grounds of our main house. One wing of the Hutte is a music studio/office, the other a large bedroom with comfortable kingsize bed. Guests have sole use of bedroom, large shower room, eat-in foyer, kitchenette and patio. Main door into foyer occasionally used by composer husband for studio access but he's only a little chap and not noisy and rarely there when you are.
The space
We live in the main house and share the drive. Hutte kitchenette has a fridge and microwave but no hob. I provide Welcome Snack Basket plus good quality bread, granola, yogurt, milk, jam and other breakfast basics but if you want a cooked one, the Anchor is a short walk down the road and they will oblige (to be paid for separately).
No children. Both my husband and I work from home. I'm a writer, he's a composer. No dogs. Love them to pieces but Mabel our Parsons Jack is an unwelcoming snob regarding any guest with four legs.
Parking space available. Please keep gate shut for Mabel's sake.
There is no TV but good wifi and lots of books.
Hutte is on one level, one small step up over the threshold.
Guest access
Guests are welcome most anywhere on the property, as long as tidy and not playing loud music and don't let the dog out.
PLEASE NOTE:
We have a 4 NIGHT MAXIMUM BOOKING policy, except by arrangement. The reason for this is work-based, we often have visiting recording artists staying and sessions sometimes over run and so on. Message me.

Accommodating up to ten guests, this spacious, modern house is thoughtfully designed, with artwork on the walls and a gorgeous garden complete with private swimming pool, sun loungers and crochet for the lawn!
Throw open the doors of the spacious living room and let in the coastal air, allowing you to wonder from indoors to out with ease, Pimm’s in hand! A large log-burner warms the room on colder months, whilst lunch or dinner can be enjoyed either at the large oak dining table or al fresco on the garden furniture.
A farmhouse style kitchen has a breakfast island and smaller table, perfect to enjoy a coffee and croissant whilst planning you day out on the coast. With pretty dressers and modern amenities from dishwasher to range cooker, it will be a delight to spend time prepping meals whilst chatting and catching up over a glass of wine.

Two of the bedrooms benefit from access to a lovely, shared balcony overlooking the garden and providing an idyllic spot to enjoy your morning coffee in peace and tranquillity.

With a BBQ on the go and a game of croquet on the lawn, it will be hard to tempt your group back inside of an evening! Yet, with the unspoilt Suffolk coast at your door, there is much to explore in the delightful village of Walberswick from the local sand and shingle beach to nearby marsh and heathland, plus with two local pubs at your disposal it would be wrong not to enjoy a tranquil pint in the sunshine.
The lovely village of Walberswick has a nostalgic charm, with a pretty sand and shingle beach complete with grassy dunes. There are some lovely cycle routes to take and explore giving great opportunities for birdwatching along the heath and marshland or crabbing of the pretty wooden footbridges. Two local pubs serve the village well, the Anchor and The Bell, serving local ales and delicious food, a great end destination after a long walk down the Suffolk Coast Path that leads to the historic village of Dunwich.
Accessible by a summer foot ferry, or a stroll down the old railway path is the town of Southwold which combines a sandy shingle coastline with a bustling market town with much to see and do. Clamber to the top of the town’s working lighthouse, operating since 1887, this remarkable landmark is a great place to survey the coastline from its inland location.
The calling card of many a British seaside town is the pier, and Southwold doesn’t disappoint. Southwold pier has many crafty shops and a wall of crazy mirrors to keep the kids entertained. An eccentric Under the Pier show offers an array of weird and wonderful coin-operated interactive machines which is well worth a visit and why not finish it off with some chunky fish finger sandwiches at The Boardwalk on the pier or for the best local fish and chips head to Sole Bay’s Fish Company.
For further coastline exploring why not take a drive to Aldeburgh Beach, one of the most popular on the Suffolk coast, with a host of quirky historic buildings from a Martello Tower, a converted windmill and a Norman church lining the coast. A history of art and culture is connected with Aldeburgh with Caroline Wiseman’s gallery located right on the beach.
Under an hour’s drive away is Framlington Castle a magnificent 12th century fortress with a fascinating history. Embark on the 10.5m high Wall Walk that has stood for over 800 years looking down on spectacular views of Framlingham mere. There is also a workhouse and exhibition to explore, detailing the former residents of the Castle including Mary Tudor, who was proclaimed Queen in 1553 at the Castle itself.
More historic findings can be discovered at Suffolk’s awe-inspiring Anglo Saxon burial site at Sutton Hoo, the subject of Netflix film “The Dig.” Alongside the site itself you can look out from the 17-metre-high viewing tower, take a stroll through the charming woodland or pay a visit to the High Hall exhibition featuring replicas and original objects found at the site.
An incredibly striking home bursting with comfort and style, Walberswick House is a luxurious spot for a large group and all just a short walk from the beach!
As you approach the house you will be amazed by its sublime facade - a modern take on a traditional country home. And stepping inside it’s every bit as beautiful. Your vast farmhouse kitchen oozes traditional charm with a dazzling monochrome design throughout and impressive features, including a huge range cooker, a Belfast sink, blender and coffee machine. Delightfully connected alongside this through large open archways is an elegant dining area for the whole group, which itself links in wonderfully to the garden through a fully retractable wall of patio doors - inviting the warmth and sea air inside the home. There are two stunning living areas to choose from when it’s time to put your feet up. The first modelled like the dining area, with two separate entrances to the terrace through big French doors and a wood burner at its heart, the second embodying the same breath-taking bold design as the kitchen - and each brimming with cosy sofas and chairs for the ultimate relaxation.
For rest, meanwhile, there are five superb bedrooms, including four double rooms to choose from! All located on the first floor, each offers a fabulous view of the garden and, just beyond it, the sparkling sea! All five rooms, including two magnificent master bedrooms, feature the same deeply satisfying fusion of classical style and modern comfort, with huge comfortable beds set before vast French doors onto a brilliant balcony beyond or overlooking the garden. Across the balcony, sun loungers offer a place to soak up the sunshine, feel the sea air tingle at your skin and enjoy the peace of this incredible location. There are four double rooms and a fifth room with a set of bunk beds with a reading lamp over each bed. Two of the rooms enjoy fabulous ensuite facilities while there’s an additional bathroom on each floor, offering a range of walk-in showers, large bathtubs and elegant styling!
Out in your garden, meanwhile, a delightful mixture of manicured lawns and wild bushes echo the beach landscape just beyond the end of the boundary wall. Incredible garden furniture offers a comfortable spot for socialising or solitude, sunbathing or shade-seeking on a sunny day! With a fabulous table and chairs set up, you can dine alfresco together in the sun each day - perhaps enjoying a peaceful breakfast in the dawn glow!

And for something slightly bigger, just a few minutes’ walk, or short ferry journey, away, just across the harbour to the north, is Southwold, perhaps the most quintessentially English seaside town. The town itself is vibrant, with quaint shops, plenty of cafes and restaurants and countless scenic spots to sit back and watch the world go by! Whilst at the beach, you must pay a visit to the charmingly old-fashioned Pier, teeming with bizarre amusements, including Tim Hunkin’s eccentric inventions!
Meanwhile, if you fancy a tipple, or even just a fascinating few hours, visit the Adnams Brewery, winner of The Good Pub Guide 2011’s ‘Brewery of the Year’, where brewery tours are on offer throughout the year and you can try some of the huge variety of Adnams beers on offer. There’s also a thriving arts scene at Southwold Arts Centre during the summer months, so be sure to catch a show from Suffolk Summer Theatre!

At every turn in Lavenham you will encounter medieval charm with characterful timber framed buildings lining the narrow streets and lanes. Lavenham has also gained a ‘foodie’ reputation with excellent restaurants and pubs. The village offers a rich history.

The renovated Guildhall is located in the historic market place and today tells the stories of Lavenham’s fortunes. Little Hall, built in the 1390’s was once home to the Causton family and is now a museum owned by the Suffolk Buildings Preservation Trust. St Peter and St Paul Church was built at the height of Lavenham’s prosperity by Thomas Spring III in the late 15th century. The Old Grammar School is another amazing building. It was open from 1647-1887 and is a Grade I listed building whose many pupils included the famous painter John Constable. De Vere House is also know as the De Vere Hunting Lodge, the last house in Lavenham to be owned by the Earls of Oxford. Lavenham boasts a wonderful array of art galleries including the Crooked House Gallery, a building full of wonky charm. There are many charming cafes and restaurants. Lavenham is very proud of its strong links to America.
