Wayfarer Cottage - Three Bedroom House, Sleeps 5

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1)
"Everything we needed was provided. We did bump our heads a couple of times on the low door frames and had to take care upstairs, because of the different levels of steps. We purchased a weekly parking permit to park in the public parking area by the rec center. When we needed to load/unload it was challenging at times to navigate the car down the narrow street, especially with some parked cars sticking further out. Overall though a lovely cottage."

Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa

Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa

8/10 Good
"A fun place to stay with activities for all ages. As a family, we enjoyed the crazy golf, putting practice and swimming pool. Restaurant service was very slow for evening meal. It took nearly 3 hours for us to finish, but the food was good. Breakfast buffet was fine, enough choice for all. Room was clean and spacious, nice to have a small fridge included. Beds were comfortable. We slept well after removing the duvets from covers, as the room was very warm. A pleasant stay overall. "
