Lovely place on the main street. Woke up to watch people pottering the thoroughfare in the morning. Lots of shops on your doorstep and right next to beautiful Elmhurst Park. The apartment smelt a bit strange when we arrived, but we discovered that smell came with the hoover. Otherwise it was very clean and presented beautifully. Parking is a bit of an issue, but that comes with the territory of being slap bang in the centre of Woodbridge. We loved it and would definitely come back.

The Book Nook was such a wonderful place to stay in a great location in the centre of Woodbridge. The property was perfect, with everything we could possibly need. The Welcome pack, flowers and a book token to spend at the well stocked book shop a lovely surprise. The beautiful apartment was very comfortable for staying in and sleeping! The location behind the main shopping area which is pedestrian was quiet and very near a beautiful park (useful for dog walking). We enjoyed visiting the Quay with lots of interesting things to see and do and there are beautiful walks in both directions. We would highly recommend this property and will definitely love to stay here again. Many thanks.

If you love books and characterful spaces, this is the place for you. Staying above the independent bookshop was such a highlight. The apartment is incredibly thoughtful, filled with puzzles and games that make it feel like a home away from home. Being in such a sweet market town meant we had everything on our doorstep—great walks, delicious food, and plenty of shops to explore. A truly special and refreshing break

We recently stayed at The Book Nook in Woodbridge and had a fantastic stay. The apartment was beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and very well maintained. The location was perfect for our needs, with plenty of lovely walks nearby and an excellent choice of coffee shops just a short stroll away. We would happily stay here again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.

Lovely location and so tucked away. Been visiting Woodbridge on and off for 40 years and this place has been one of the few I would consider buying if it ever came on the market. Bigger inside than you expected and quirky. You would never know you were right on the main street.

Lovely flat on the pedestrian shopping street full of individual traders. Had all the facilities, for my wife and I as well as 7 month old + Mum - Washing / drying + Cot. Although very warm at night, a stand fan was available. Duvet and blankets were too warm. Riverside cafes were good, pizza excellent. The woodyard where they were buildng a replica of the saxon ship found at Sutton Hoo was v interesting. Nice Park within 50 yards Had to pay for parking - whole day was approx £8, but time carried over to next day (8am-6pm) Sutton Hoo was was very interesting, as Helingham Grdens extemely beautiful.

A fantastic place in the heart of Woodbridge. We throughly enjoyed our stay and were touched to receive a welcome gift from the hosts. We will definitely be back to visit again - perhaps even in the winter to be able to use the log burner! Thankyou
