  In the good side it’s a cute little hide out in the heart of the town and an easy walking to shops and bars if needed we were seeing family at Christmas .

  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 let’s 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 don’t . 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 it’s 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 .

  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.

  Really excellent place to stay in Woodbridge.

  Spacious and comfortable. Really well located..2nd time I've stayed here. My suggestions are still the same as before! A small proper height dining table and chairs would make eating more comfortable. A couple more saucepans with steamer/ colander would be good. Plus a grater. And a bit more made of the courtyard area with better quality table and chairs and a couple of large shrubs in big pots to give some character and shade. But generally really good thank you. Woodbridge is really nice to wander about especially going down to the river and along its banks up stream. Dusk is magical: birds calling colours changing...

  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.

  We had a lovely time during our stay in this cottage.

  The decor was lovely and the smart speaker was a treat. Would just make one recommendation and that is that a couple of trays would have been helpful as there is no dining table. We did see the raised coffee table but found it a bit impractical. There is one huge tray which was great, tricky to manage up the stairs but a couple of lap trays would have been good. Just a thought. Otherwise we couldn’t fault the little cottage. It was immaculate, bright and airy, terrific little bolt hole and perfect location for exploring Woodbridge. Five stars
