Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage is consistently described as clean and well-kept, with only a couple of mentions of areas needing attention, such as the oven and bathroom mould. The high standard of cleanliness contributes positively to the guests' experiences.
The location is highly praised for being central, quiet, and convenient, with easy access to local attractions, shops, and the river. Parking challenges are mentioned, but the proximity to amenities offsets this for most guests.
The comfort of the cottage receives positive remarks, particularly the comfortable bed and cosy atmosphere. However, some guests noted issues with the mattress firmness and the heating system, which suggests room for improvement.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the property being well-equipped. Criticisms include the lack of a dining table, garden maintenance, and some difficulties with keys and locks. The oven and heating controls were also points of contention for some.
Guests have mentioned thoughtful gestures such as wine and olives upon arrival, which add a welcoming touch. However, as these gifts are not consistently referenced, it is polite to note that such amenities are a bonus and not guaranteed with every stay.

It's a sweet little place just behind the main pedestrian street in Woodbridge, on a quiet street only about a 5 minute walk to the river. The lift-up coffee table was ingenious, but not quite the same as sitting at a table. Otherwise, it was all good - comfortable bed, very warm and cosy and a fantastic location.

Cosy, quiet but close to everything... shops, Longshed, Riverside Theatre, Tourist info/library etc. Beautiful walk along the river to Sutton Hoo and bus 64 to Aldeburgh with lots of interesting places to eat and things to see. It has been so good, we look forward to returning. Thank you!

Some nice thoughtful bits and wine left out on arrival. Underneath this a lot of housekeeping and needs TLC and upgrade repairs as a damp smell is very evident and on all our clothes and blankets so all in wash on return home and not good for allergies as seems an issue with damp , but this in more detail is so going in a seperate note to owner out of respect to them . Not a five star property and some safety bits like the steep stairs and no handrail in sort and big door step at front with a hard lock to open door and sticky keys on back door too. Side is very dark and gate not good to open and shut with sinking stones to walk so not ideal for any one with mobility issues visiting . Lots of bits indoors not quite on point and heating is so difficult to navigate to hot and cold upstairs and down. Dog friendly was not entirely correct for our puppy letâs say that and lots of dog rules as well so hard to keep these and with paying a high cost for the week a bit extensive list of do and donât . Noisy at night with cars racing and people shouting in street, parking a huge challenge even just to unload car as neighbours not friendly near GP surgery and moaned at car opposite garage for one night on yellow line but weather was cold wet and late on arrival so difficult to navigate parking with puppy and being bank holiday side streets were busy too and all on time Limits for cars and car park not cheap either . Need to consider mobility and safety of darkness at night as light is by the back door so very dark otherwise. If you just sleeping quite quaint but not totally great all day and had to clean cooker to cook dinner as all burning and alarms went off so a housekeeping error here . Not really worth the cost in comparison to others we have been too for much less but close to family so that was a bonus was able to leave car and have a ten minute to fifteen minute walk back .Dort key sticky on back door and front door deadlock a challenge and very high door step out for puppy so back door best but gate hard to open and close as was open on arrival and could see why that might be so no lock facility on gate either so a bit unsafe . GP surgery generates a busy full road too so no where to unload car and load car on departure so for a week itâs a challenge to carry it all back to car . So mixed bag but will talk to owner directly on anything else needed to be addressed .Would not stay again .
