The Penthouse

A really lovely holiday home, booked for a special birthday present - and it is really special.

Lovely views, very comfortable, high quality, everything you could possibly need - and everything works. Spacious, light and airy. Had lovely days, later evenings were cooler of course and we were very glad of the heater for an odd hour. Also works as air-con if needed. Know Woodbridge well and chose this because its a perfect location for everything, short walk into town, few minutes to supermarket, lots of places of interest, places to eat and lovely walks in the area. All good, hoping to go again. Definitely one of the very best of Sykes.

Our second visit to the Penthouse which we’d highly recommend .

We absolutely love Woodbridge - there’s always something to do, somewhere to go & even though we’ve been twice there’s still so much more to see. At the end of the day you can return to a wonderful apartment where you can witness the stunning ever changing views from a wonderful vantage point. Thank you to our hosts & to those who make the apartment a great experience.

The Penthouse was a beautiful apartment with wonderful views and ideal location.

It was well equipped and would certainly recommend it.

The accommodation is superb!

We had such an amazing time in Woodbridge & the surrounding area but what made it magical was the wonderful apartment we stayed in, complete with its own dedicated parking space.

Everything we needed, and more, was here. The decor, the comfort, the cleanliness, it was all perfect. Excellent ever changing views overlooking the river. Museums, coffee shops, eateries all around. You’ll never want for something to do or somewhere to go & when you return you can relax in the beautiful apartment.

Beautifully decorated and furnished apartment.

Lovely views across the river. The welcome hamper and flowers are an added bonus. Shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance. Super holiday!

Fabulous apartment - we absolutely loved it.

The open plan area is spacious and bright - gorgeous views from every window. Well equipped kitchen; comfy sofas and bed. Fresh flowers and treats on arrival - thank you. Storage space in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom was excellent. Very clean and well-maintained throughout. Car parking space was great and an added bonus. (It's the stand alone space on the left hand side of the car park -next to the white air con units and bin store doors - where the key boxes are. It states 'penthouse' on the ground - don't look for a '16' like we did :-)) If you want to leave the car behind there are good bus and train services close by. Lovely cafes, bars and restaurants around the town (some in the square, just below the apartment). The Tide Mill, museum and Longshed are worth a visit, and just on the doorstep. A handy Co-op just a couple of minutes drive away - or less than 10 minutes walk. We hope to return again in 2026. Thank you. A beautiful holiday home in a fantastic little town.

Wow!

We never got tired of the incredible 180° views of the river and Tide Mill. Beautifully furnished apartment with everything you need, in a great location above museums and restaurants (not noisy). Fabulous. Did we mention the views?

Lovely property with great views.

Convenient for the town, but Pizza restaurant & bars within 100m. Only niggle I had was water pressure seemed lower than normal (at home) but didn't really inconvenience us.

This is an outstanding property.

It's spacious, tastefully furnished and well equipped but the best bit about it are the views . Stunning ! It's also benefits from having a restaurant, bar and cafe literally on its doorstep and being within easy walking distance of the the delightful town centre with it's many independent shops and lovely cafes. Other attractions such as the iconic National Trust Sutton Hoo are only a short drive away.

This is an exceptional place to stay.

It was spotlessly clean and is finished to a very high standard. So much to do locally and enjoy the views over the River Deben. Woodbridge has an interesting history which we knew nothing about before visiting. Our first time visiting Suffolk and it won’t be our last.

The Penthouse is supreme quality from every aspect .

.. including the views of the tidal Deben! Beth and Nigel have created an eclectic haven of quality with so much thought and attention to unfussy detail. Having a designated parking space was an essential for us. Easy access via the lift a plus. Minimum distance to grab a meal either on the Quay or in Woodbridge Thoroughfare. Overall SUPERB.

The Penthouse is a very special place.

Beautifully furnished and decorated. Filled with light even on a wet gloomy day. The view is totally absorbing and difficult to leave for a days exploring. The bedroom is huge as is the very comfortable bed. The kitchen is super equipped. The welcome hamper and other treats were a lovely touch. Thank you for a lovely stay. Please can I come again!

The property was beautifully presented and lacked nothing to make your stay enjoyable - stunning views, top quality kitchen appliances and easy to operate.

The property had been tastefully furnished and good information re restaurants and places to visit were provided. Woodbridge was an ideal base to visit other places of interest all withing half an hour traveling by car - we would be very happy to visit this property and area again.

Excellent property, very special.

Amazing views, great location. Cleaning 10/10. Little touches wonderful. Definitely hope to book again. Cannot fault anything. Truely a 5 star property

This apartment is at the top end of the market, which is reflected in the price.

Luxurious interior design, bed and bedding of superior quality, kitchen equipped with absolutely everything you need to make self catering holiday feel even better than home! Spotlessly and sparkling clean with Turkish-type towels, his and hers dressing gowns and disposable slippers. There was also a “welcome” pack/wine, milk and vase of yellow roses. But most importantly of all is its location and all round view over the Tidal Mill at Deben. It’s windows/French doors maximise all of the above.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Penthouse.

The apartment was very clean and comfortable and exceptionally well equipped. The position overlooking the Deben estuary was spectacular with wonderful views. Loved the town of Woodbridge and the great local walks. The very generous welcome pack was much appreciated and enjoyed. We would definitely stay here again and would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

This is an outstanding property with a spectacular view of the picturesque River Deben for you to enjoy.

The Penthouse is bright and contemporary with beautiful furnishings. It is equipped to an extremely high standard. I would highly recommend this property and will definitely be returning to the property in the future!

This was our third stay at The Penthouse.

It is a beautiful apartment with fabulous views and close to all the amenities.

Beautiful apartment, spotless,comfortable throughout with everything you need .

.a lot of care , attention and love has gone into the penthouse….ideal location with amazing views. Caring helpful owners.

We booked The Penthouse to celebrate our wedding anniversary weekend as it looked so lovely and it was amazing.

Where do I start; with the wonderful panoramic views, the cleanliness and high spec of the decor and furnishings, warm, quiet, easy access. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed river walks and pottering around pretty Woodbridge then relaxed with a glass of wine and enjoyed watching the comings and goings on the estuary. Nice touch was wine and flowers when we arrived plus tea/coffee etc. Can highly recommend!!!!!

The property was stunning, with high quality fixtures and fittings, over and above the high standard that I’ve come to expect of a Best of Suffolk property!

Thank you!

The Penthouse was stunning and had an immediate wow factor!

We loved the quality of the finish and furnishings (we need that Fama chair!). Opening the patio doors after a day out and sitting with a beer looking out over the estuary would never get boring! Lovely touches like the flowers and welcome pack made our arrival extra special. Stunning location - our week went far too quickly! Loved every minute! Lee

The apartment was amazing with a fabulous view of the estuary.

Spotless clean and furnished to a very high standard. A perfect location to explore the Suffolk coast.

Beautiful flat with a stunning view, thoughtfully equipped.

Great location - a couple of good restaurants in the same building, and well sited for the town and for country walks/Sutton Hoo. My only suggestion for improvement would be to reduce the number of infusers - the smell was a bit overpowering.

5 star luxury accommodation in a great location with a fabulous view.

Beautifully maintained, well equipped and comfortably furnished……….with thoughtful extras such fresh flowers, chocolates, bottle of fizz and milk in the fridge adding a touch of romance and practicality. It is easy to imagine that this sunny south-facing apartment can be everything from a warm and cosy retreat in winter to a bright and airy, summer base. Sitting in the comfy Fama chair in front of the open French windows, there is an air of peace and tranquility as you watch the ebb and flow of the river and the comings and goings of people below. And certainly no shortage of things to do and interesting places to explore in Woodbridge and its environs. Wonderful long weekend here …… hope to come again sometime.

Having dodged the snow across the country, we turned up to the apartment, parked the car securely and walked in to a warm and beautifully presented Penthouse.

No need to unpack straight away as refreshments were to hand. Tea, coffee, juice, milk or if you preferred wine. The apartment is spacious with wonderful views, a kitchen that is easy to work in with everything to hand. Make use of the local fresh produce and sit and enjoy your food at the table watching the world and wildlife go by. We found the hallway a blessing, due to weather. You can take off wet clothing and leave it out of sight and hanging up to dry away from your private space. Bedroom and bathroom both spacious and comfortable. There is plenty to keep you busy all day. We found our hosts, neighbours and locals very friendly. Plenty of pubs and restaurants to suit all tastes. We didn’t achieve everything we had planned so we will definitely be returning in the future. We hope that when we do the Penthouse will be available.

Lovely apartment with great views over the River Deden.

The apartment was immaculate and very comfortable. Only issue we had was with the remote for the car park bollards, which was not working. A new battery sorted this out.

So lovely to meet you Beth on our arrival.

Your 'Penthouse' is beautiful, absolutely spotless and a fabulous location to enjoy the stunning views. Not too sure how having explored so many places around this area we missed Woodbridge!!! So glad we made it, and will take home great memories of a wonderful break. Thank you for the much enjoyed and appreciated 'welcome' hamper. All the very best.

Just perfect!

Another wonderful stay in your beautiful apartment. Thank you so much.

We have had a fabulous time in this very comfortable apartment.

The views are spectacular both in bright sunshine and torrential rain. We have fallen in love with Woodbridge and hope to return before too long. Thank you for the very generous welcome hamper which was much appreciated.

A wonderful stay in The Penthouse!

A special few days to celebrate a birthday. Our stay was so enjoyable, stunning views, sunny mornings, people watching, lots of fizz and making the most of the impressive property. We will most definitely be returning. A shoutout to the Woodyard Pizzas below, delicious!

We've spent an idyllic week here with perfect weather.

Husband actually relaxed! A beautiful apartment in a wonderful location. Definitely the best view of Woodbridge. The river is fascinating. Thanks Beth.

We enjoyed chilling out from the hustle of London.

The magic of the River Deben still amazes us. Thank you for providing such luxurious surroundings. We will, no doubt, be back again.

Celebrated 30th wedding anniversary.

Had a fantastic 7 days, weather good, accommodation amazing, views 10/10. Highly recommend Bistro 47 wish we could have stayed longer.

Enjoyed 7 days here in this stunning apartment - in a stunning location.

Spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need and more! This was a much needed holiday after 3 very difficult years health-wise and we haven't been disappointed. Thank you again for the 'welcome' box and beautiful roses - sorry for the confusion when we first arrived. Thank you :)

Wonderful stay.

The Penthouse is everything advertised, but much more!!! Penthouse, location, view, parking, welcome basket- all amazing. Its little touches you dont expect and just make you smile and feel cosy. Thank you for letting us share a bit of luxury.

We cannot praise your stylish apartment in its stunning location enough.

Superb! Thank you.

Beautiful apartment, stunning views - an ideal base for discovering Suffolk which has exceeded our expectations.

Had no idea of such a rich diverse history - beautiful un-spoilt villages - every day has been action packed with new discoveries from the church at Orford - amazing organ, views from the castle, Benjamin Britten's House, the theatre, concert hall at Snape, the museum below an amazing reconstruction of the Anglo-Saxon Ship.

We've enjoyed a few relaxing days in this beautiful apartment.

The views will be remembered. Helped by the lovely weather we've had. Many thanks.

Enjoyed a very relaxing break in this most stunning apartment.

The views are amazing, river walks and interesting museums are close by. We highly recommend. Thank you for the little extras, much appreciated.

Just one word Fab-u-lous.

My first visit to Woodbridge and I couldnt have chosen a better property. There were times I had to motivate myself to leave the wonderful views to explore Suffolk. Thank you for the welcome hamper.

Wow!

! What a beautiful apartment, everything you could wish for. Immaculate and very comfortable. Stunning and unique location. We shall return. Thank you also for the generous treats.

Beth and Nigel - I am not going to repeat all the accolades or there would be no more space in your book!

We have had a wonderful week including lots of sunshine. The Woodbridge area was my family house from 1970 so I needed no introduction to the area. The tidemill has changed so much and your fantastic apartment is a huge asset. We will visit again!

Our most favourite place to stay!

Perfect views, perfect apartment... Just perfect!

Thank you for the most wonderful stay.

It has been perfect. Beautiful apartment, amazing views and so cosy!

Our 1st time at 'The Penthouse' - you're right, "probably the best view in Woodbridge", the best view we have ever had from our trips in Suffolk.

Thank you for a perfect 3 nights- just perfect. Your apartment I was so sad to leave...Woodbridge just great. Can recommend The Royal Bengal, Blue Sale. We have loved this, we will be back. Thank you

Thank you for the hamper - much appreciated.

Our first time in Suffolk. We have loved exploring the area: Minsmere, Flatford, Sutton Hoo, Lavenham and local walks along the river. We've had wonderful weather so have wanted to be outside, but this Penthouse has tempted us to stay inside and admire the view! Two suggestions: Independently working bedside lamps so the other person isn't disturbed and secondly, a measuring jug in the kitchen. Everything else has been thought about with huge care and attention. So clean and welcoming on arrival, especially the flowers. A huge thank you.

Mary's 81st Birthday.

A year later and we are happily back at the stunning Penthouse, with the spectacular views! Another lovely few days in Suffolk! My mother has enjoyed sitting for hours enjoying the views, people watching and bird watching! We have enjoyed a fabulous day in Sunny Southwold, shopping in the lovely clothes shops on Market Hill and a brisk walk along the front at Aldeburgh! A recommendation for 'Wok It' on Cumberland Street. Delicious food, great noodles! Definitely looking forward to April 26 when we will return once again! Thank you to Nigel and Beth for a wonderful stay and the fabulous welcome hamper! :)

Wow!

Another fabulous stay at The Penthouse. We've really enjoyed our time in Woodbridge and exploring the local area. We've visited Framlingham Castle, Minsmere, Southwold and taken the river/country walk to the lovely Maybush Inn - Food was fantastic with a view to match. Thanks again.

A wonderful week - great apartment, lovely weather and the best view out to the river watching all the comings and goings.

The museums and the long shed really worth a visit, as is Sutton Hoo, Orford Ness and Minsmere. Thank you for making such homely and welcoming apartment.

What an amazing apartment you have!

So elegant and stylish - my husband, Stuart, booked it as a surprise for me and when we opened the door on a Sunny Sunday afternoon- we were stunned by the panoramic view! We lived in Lowestoft 42 years ago - but never came to Woodbridge at that time. Visiting Sutton Hoo 2 years ago, we looked across the town. What a delightful town Woodbridge is We have had amazing sunny, settled weather which is always a bonus. Thanks so much

An amazing week at The Penthouse!

Fantastic views. Great for people and bird watching. Places worth a visit; Sutton Hoo River Trip Tide Mill Museum Evening meals at The Anchor, The Woodyard and The Boathouse. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Our first time to Suffolk and what a better place to spend it that in this wonderful apartment.

It has given us the chance to unwind in such beautiful surroundings. The views are magnificent. We can highly recommend; Sutton Hoo (great cafe for lunch!) Minsmere for birds and wildlife Snape Maltings There is so much to explore for us, and we will definitely be back!

Another lovely week at the fabulous Penthouse!

Thank you for the goodies in the welcome hamper, which we enjoyed along with the view! We hope to be back soon

We had such an amazing time in Woodbridge and the surrounding area - our first visit here, but won't be our last.

What made it extra magical was the wonderful apartment. Thank you Nigel and Beth for making our visit to this area so relaxing and so perfect. Everything we needed was here. Thank you for the welcome basket and the beautiful roses. We shall return!

Lovely time in Woodbridge in an exceptional apartment.

Beautifully equipped and everything we could want. Thank you so much.

Here we are again saying 'goodbye' to this wonderful apartment.

We have enjoyed our time here immensely and find ourselves running out of time to do everything we planned to do. It's a wonderful place to visit at any time of the year and we'll definitely be back!! Thanks to you both.

Thank you for letting us stay for three weeks in your beautiful apartment.

We have had a lovely stay and everything was perfect. Thank you also for the generous hamper. We would love to come back.

Although we are Woodbridge residents, we decided to relocate to your lovely apartment while our bathroom was being refitted.

What a beautiful place to stay and I totally agree with all of the comments. Thank you for the lovely hamper, we thoroughly enjoyed it's contents. Thank you once again.

As ever, Beth & Nigel, you have very content / happy / appreciative clients.

You deserve all the lovely comments... As you know, this area - Lower Ufford - was our home. It's exciting to come back yet again to enjoy the area. Staying here is wonderful. The Oyster catchers have been dancing in the mud! We have increased the profit margin of 'The Fish Hut' here in the car park. Good to see all the thoroughfare shops doing well. A total delight and thank you to you both.

Our first time to Woodbridge and we could not have picked a better place to stay.

The Penthouse is just perfect (location, views, property & amenities) We just relaxed and enjoyed the peace and tranquility. Had a great pizza downstairs, but other than that, just chilled out. As Arnie says - we will be back!

Our third stay at the apartment and again we were not disappointed.

Everything you need is on hand in this superbly appointed accommodation. Great weather for the week made for a pleasant stay and plenty of local sights as well as the lovely coastal resorts of Southwold and Aldeburgh. Would recommend the Unruly Pig for a fantastic tasting menu (10 min drive). Overall a very relaxing environment and a place to suit your mood. Thank you once again.

The Penthouse is a fabulous apartment, comfortable and absolutely spotless.

You have thought of everything. We have had wonderful weather and the fan was very welcome, especially at night. We have had a relaxing holiday here with breathtaking views and watching the birds etc. We will definitely return.

Our second visit to The Penthouse and everything was just perfect again.

We tried a few resurants this time and the highlight was Bistro@47A, which was brilliant. Great food cooked perfectly and very reasonably priced - but you must book in advance, and obviously the Woodyard Pizzas. The walks, as always, were thoroughly enjoyable just watching the wildlife and the birds. Glad we had the fans as it was a trifle warm some days, but that's the British weather for you! Already planning our next stay. Thanks

The Penthouse is a fabulous apartment, comfortable and absolutely spotless.

Our first trip to Suffolk and what a fantastic choice The Penthouse has been.

A fabulous apartment in a superb location! We hope to return soon.
