Thank you!
A truly wonderful place to stay! We have fallen in love with The Loft. Spotlessly clean and beautifully well equipped. We enjoyed family table tennis tournaments in the evenings. A very nice touch to hear from the owner, Mary, in the days before we travelled and on our arrival. We loved the Whistlestop Café at the station! Had lunch, cake and breakfast (not at the same time!) tasty and good value. We enjoyed drinks outside at The Crown. Can recommend a meal at The Coach and Horses, a mile down the road. We visited Walberswick dog friendly beach, and great for crabbing. Enjoyed mini golf at Ufford Park Golf Club nearby. Snape Maltings is lovely to walk around. Southwold, Aldeburgh and Orford are favourites of ours. Thank you! We are already planning a return visit to The Loft.

Amazing property
The Loft is an amazing place to stay. It is in an excellent location for the shops, restaurants and all the other amenities that Woodbridge offers. The property itself has everything you would need for a stay, with the kitchen being well equipped, it really was a home from home and we would return again.

Stunning
What a stunning property - a fantastic renovation and so stylishly decorated. The info books were so useful- the best we have ever seen and all the small touches to make our stay special were very much appreciated. We loved the area and surrounds- visited Aldeburgh and Southwold and some parts of Norfolk . Lots of dog friendly places to eat too - The Unruly Pig, The Cherry Tree, The Dog and the Greyhound were fantastic. Thankyou- a wonderful stay and we may well be back some day
