Hotels in Woodbridge

Woodbridge offers a good spread of places to stay for a town of its size, from country house hotels with spas and golf courses on the outskirts to characterful inns on Market Hill and family-run guest houses within a few minutes' walk of the river. Because the town centre is compact, almost anywhere in Woodbridge itself puts visitors within easy reach of the Tide Mill, the museum, the shops on the Thoroughfare and the passenger ferry crossing towards Sutton Hoo, so the choice tends to come down to style and budget rather than distance. Several properties occupy old Suffolk buildings, timber-framed inns and Tudor halls among them, giving even a short stay a strong sense of the area's history.

At the upper end, a handful of country house hotels set in their own grounds just outside town offer spas, golf and formal dining, appealing to those after a proper weekend away rather than simply a bed for the night. In the middle, Woodbridge's inns and boutique hotels combine comfortable rooms with well-regarded restaurants and bars, many of them right on Market Hill or the Thoroughfare, making it easy to eat well without booking a taxi. At the more modest end, family-run guest houses and bed and breakfasts, several with views over the River Deben, offer a warmer and more personal welcome, often at a noticeably lower price than the hotels, and are a good match for walkers, sailors and anyone visiting Sutton Hoo who wants a simple, well-kept room close to the station or the quay.
