A lovely stay in Walberswick.
Pros:

Fantastic location in Walberswick

Cons:

Rooms are a little tired, especially the bathrooms. Shower cubicle could be bigger. Full English breakfast wasn’t singing - fried eggs overcooked.

A really nice short break in a lovely village, very relaxing.
Pros:

We had a lovely few days at the Bell Inn. The staff were friendly and attentive, the room was comfortable, the breakfast was good, and the location was really good, albeit, that if you did want to get around you did need a car.

Cons:

I have nothing to complain about.
