    “This was taken as a last minute availability because our original booking had to cancel.”

    The general consensus was we got a better holiday. All the group thought highly of the Bridewell and its quirkiness. Woodbridge offers so much and all in walking distance. Bridewell has heritage, age and as such steep steps to the front door on a very busy road and narrow’ish pavement. Possibly better access would be through side gate to rear door? Also some form of extra step to kitchen would be useful. Minor details, all in all a great holiday.
