Bridget
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...
