A hidden gem in the heart of the vibrant town of Woodbridge in Suffolk, Little Turnpike Cottage is immaculately presented and offers stylish accommodation, which has been finished to a high specification. Perfect for a family on holiday together, the sitting room offers an inviting space for everyone to curl up together around the woodburning stove and enjoy some quality holiday time. If you’re not feeling sociable then just tune in, zone out and watch some TV instead; it’s up to you! The bright and airy kitchen has everything for the keen chef to be able to produce delicious food for the whole family. If it’s a sunny day, then open up the stable door and let in the fresh Suffolk air while you’re cooking up a storm. When the food is ready, gather around the rustic dining table and look forward to long and happy meals together. If the sun is shining (which it does a lot in Suffolk!) then you can dine alfresco. The outside space is a real benefit at Little Turnpike Cottage which boasts enclosed gardens so children and pets can run around safely whilst the grown-ups can chill out and relax with a drink in hand; this is what holidays are made of. Bedtime isn’t a problem either with two wonderfully appointed bedrooms with gorgeous cottage windows helping to create a relaxing and cottagey vibe. Take a relaxing bath or refreshing shower, and you’re good to go; there is so much to see and do in and around Woodbridge it would be a shame not to get out and explore. Woodbridge itself is within walking distance and as an historic market town has loads of fascinating history and lots of interesting shops, bars, boutiques, restaurants and pubs to discover. Take a barge along the river Deben to spot birds (keep an eye out for the elusive avocet!) or indulge in some sailing, cycling or walking, all of which are popular in the area. Other places worth visiting while on a visit to Woodbridge include Sutton Hoo, Aldeburgh, the Bawsdsey Peninsular, Southwold, Dunwich, Framingham Castle and Go Ape Thetford. Enjoying a superb setting, Little Turnpike Cottage offers stylish and attractive accommodation which is sure to give its guests a truly memorable holiday.
Woodbridge is a historic riverside market town boasting an outstanding selection of independent shops, restaurants and pubs. The town has been famous for boatbuilding, rope and sail making since the Middle Ages. The working tide mill is a major attraction and a must visit for anyone staying in the area.

Temp kept at 18 not 20 as described. When we arrived temp in the house was only 12 degrees. Cleaning was ok, but mirrors were smeared and the place feels âunlovedâ eg kitchen clock batteries flat, bedding clean, but stained, chips in cups. Disappointing as itâs a lovely cottage but the failed attention to detail lets it down. Also disappointing as issues have been referred to before but owners have failed to address these which lets down Best of Suffolk

Unfortunately it was in need of a good clean. We didnât use the kettle for instance as it was so heavily furred up. There was an oven tray that hadnât been cleaned that we found in the oven. Generally the house was dusty and there were several cobwebs. The toilet seats were still lose. The mattress protector and sheet on the large bed (singles joined together) kept coming off. When we removed the duvet cover at the end of our stay we could see duvet was stained. There was nowhere to put our walking boots and shoes. The phone numbers quoted on your website for the property were incorrect. The owner didnât want hers on and the other number didnât connect. Corrected after I phoned up and told you. Shouldnât have been me having to sort that out. The owner should be aware the cottage needs a thorough clean as this is mentioned in other reviews. When we booked the cottage I saw that it needed cleaning but trusted both in your company and the owner would have sorted that out by now.

A few years ago someone had spent a lot of money to make it cosy and well appointed. The beds were comfortable. We arrived at 4pm on our arrival day. It was a cold day and we just wanted to settle in and get warm. We found that the cottage hadn't been prepared for us. The beds weren't made nor the cottage cleaned. We weren't able to get in until 7pm. I would not choose to stay here again.
