4- and 5-star hotels in Woodbridge
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in and around Woodbridge, Suffolk, for travellers who want the town's tide mill and River Deben on the doorstep or a quieter village base nearby.
Staying in Woodbridge
Woodbridge is a market town on the River Deben in Suffolk, known for its working tide mill, historic waterfront and its closeness to Sutton Hoo, the Anglo-Saxon burial site. Visitors come for riverside walks, St Mary's Church and the compact centre, which is easy to explore on foot; the town has a railway station on the East Suffolk Line and sits near the A12, about 10 miles from the Suffolk coast.
These hotels sit in and around that setting. Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel Golf & Spa is the closest to the centre at 0.7 km, while The Bull Inn on Market Hill and Cherry Tree Pub on Cumberland Street are 2.7 km and 3.2 km away. Others are more rural: Seckford Hall Hotel & Spa at 4.4 km, Garden Cottage and Low Farm Cottages around 6.6 to 6.8 km, Woodhall Manor and Harvest Moon at 7.2 and 7.5 km, and High House Farm, Colston Hall Farmhouse B&B and High House Farm's neighbours further out. It suits couples after a riverside break, families wanting space, and golfers or spa-goers staying a little outside town.
