Thank you for your review. Lovely to hear you had a fantastic stay and were able to take advantage of the location to visit some great places! Thanks too for highlighting a couple of maintenance issues which we will get addressed. Property Owner

“The cottage was exactly as described.”

The location was perfect and we were able to park the car just a short walk from the property. Woodbridge itself is a lovely place to wander around with loads of history. The only issue we had was the oven thermostat seemed a little hit and miss but that might have been down to operator error! Overall we had a thoroughly enjoyable vacation.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed the cottage’s convenient location and enjoyed your time exploring Woodbridge. Property Owner

“The cottage was immaculate and well equipped.”

Very well located. It was wonderful to be able to pop out to shop. And walk down to the river so easily. Woodbridge is a very pleasant town. Little st John Street was amazingly quiet considering how very Close it is to the town centre. A delightful few days. Being nearly perfect I would like to suggest a few improvements! There is no dining table except outside. Eating on knees is uncomfortable. Could a small folding one be attached to the wall, positioned where the television is? Folding chairs could be incorporated into the design. Perhaps the TV moved to above the fireplace? The garden is extremely bare! I'm sure it's maintainance free but it is cheerless and shadeless. Easily improved with some very very large pots containing substantial drought resistant small trees ie: Olive and large shrubs: big Rosemarys, cistus, sage. Maybe a parasol. I had a lot of trouble with the key safes. And indeed took a while to be able to unlock the door too. It may just be me at fault but if not might be worth checking Everything so nice to use. Thank you for a really delightful stay.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay. You’ve made us realise we need to make it clearer to our guests that the coffee table can be raised for dining purposes. Sorry about the door key - it’s been replaced now as it had become bent. Property Owner

“I spent three nights at 1 Tailors Cottage with my dog.”

I don't drive so parking was not an issue and it is an easy walk from the station - 10 mins max. The location is excellent for the town and to walk down to the River and quayside. I had a little trouble with the key on arrival but this was quickly sorted by staff at Best of Suffolk. The cottage is lovely, and had everything I needed for a short luxurious stay. Very comfortable bed, lovely big bath, spacious sofa and a welcome bottle of wine and nibbles! I had problem getting a signal for the TV but was able to access catch-up apps so used those. I would recommend the cottage and hope to return.

- Jane, June 2023

Thank you for your review. We’re glad you found your stay luxurious and were able to enjoy the lovely walks Woodbridge has to offer. The TV should be able to receive all main channels via the satellite dish so we will get that checked. Property Owner

“We enjoyed our stay in Tailors Cottage.”

We found it very comfortable. It was very clean and well equipped. Location was only a short walk from the heart of the town. When we booked we were aware that there wasn’t any off road parking, but we didn’t realise we would have to rely on paying car parks for all of our stay in Woodbridge. There was a long stay and a short stay carpark within a short walk of cottage. Once we installed carpark app (Ring Go ) it was easier

- Betty, June 2023

Thank you for your review. We’re glad you found the cottage comfortable, clean and well equipped. Some of the surrounding streets have unrestricted parking and the Ringo App is a good suggestion - most car parks are council run with reasonable prices and free overnight. Property Owner

“Really loved this little cottage.”

Will definitely recommend to others & visit again. Lovely sunny week, walking everyday we were here. Recommend Sutton Hoo & a trip over to Orford Ness. Need to book in advance via NT website. Great walks along the river in both directions and at Aldeburgh. Recommend drinks at the Mariners and had a lovely meal at The Table on Quay Street, it is obviously popular - great food.

“Thank you for the wine and olives.”

The cottage was beautifully clean. As I put in the visitors book I found the stairs very dicey. I felt another rail would be really helpful. I used to hold the banister outside the bathroom for support when I got heat to the top of the stairs. Unfortunately found the mattress very hard so took to doubling the duvet yo lay on and used blankets from home. Extra blankets in the cupboard would be wonderful to have available. Apart ftom this the utensils etc in kitchen were lovely and clean and sugar available was great too!

- Helen, January 2023

Thank you for your lovely comments Helen! We are glad that you found the cottage to be clean and well equipped. Sorry that you found the mattress to be on the hard side – it’s a medium firm Restopaedic Restapocket 850 Mattress which has great reviews and which we hope most people will find comfortable. However, we appreciate you can never usually beat your own bed for comfort Property Owner
