Centrally located in the beautiful riverside town of Woodbridge and ideally situated on the bustling. Thoroughfare, this characterful holiday home is every book lover's paradise brought to you by Woodbridge Books. Beyond the centre of the town are the banks of the river Deben, (0.4 miles) ever changing throughout the seasons and the perfect place for a scenic stroll, a picnic or to sketch the yachts as they rise and fall with the tide. Hop over the water to Sutton Hoo (2.4 miles) to learn of its fascinating Anglo-Saxon past or a little further afield to Orford; (9.6 miles) a pretty sailing village with excellent pubs, a delicious bakery and chocolate shop, and splendid walks along Orford Ness. The Suffolk Coast is within easy reach, with the quintessential coastal town of Aldeburgh just 16 miles away where you can treat yourself to a fish and chip supper on the beach.

Set above Woodbridge Books , a charming independent book shop, this gorgeous holiday home is aptly named for its wealth of novels and books to revel in during your stay. Snuggle up on the sofa, in front of the roaring wood burner and immerse yourself in a fabulous library of literature, including an array of uncorrected publisher's proofs from the bookshop. This market town bolthole for four, has gorgeous original features from its Georgian heritage throughout, interspersed with a modern yet classic interior. Think comfortable rooms with tall ceilings. The apartment plays host to a welcoming king size bedroom with ensuite and a sweet twin bedroom, which can also be arranged as a superking bed, with use of a modern family bathroom. There is a cosy corner with a desk should you wish to work, read, or write, a generous sitting room with large dining table, and a well-equipped kitchen for all your culinary needs. This idyllic book lover's escape awaits to help rest and recharge those batteries in the heart of wonderful Suffolk.

Outside has a small yet perfectly formed enclosed courtyard, which catches the morning sunshine, making it the ideal spot for a beautiful breakfast alfresco. From here, you can go straight onto the Thoroughfare, popping into Woodbridge Books where friendly staff can help you spend your welcome book voucher. Alternatively you can exercise your furry friend down the lane to Elmhurst park.

This was our second visit to the Book Nook. Brilliantly located and very comfy. We will certainly come again. Once the parking was sorted, the whole experience was really lovely, with lots of things to do, places to eat and shops literally on the doorstep.

Lovely cottage in a great location. Just be aware that the roof in the main bedroom slopes and the ensuite ( whilst beautifully appointed) has very small door so its not suitable for anyone very tall.

The Book Nook in Woodbridge is the perfect location. We loved the easy access to shops and restaurants/cafes. It was quiet at night and a great "buzz" during the day. Well equipped small kitchen. Useful utility. Comfy beds and good showers . Would and will recommend.

This is a great rental. The location is excellent as you are in the centre of this delightful small town with all the facilities within a few minutes stroll. There is parking available within 200 metres of the apartment. The decor is lovely and the host is charming. The Two Magpies bakery is 2 minutes away and has an excellent breakfast menu.

What great accommodation in a great location! The flat was ideal for two couples. We liked the little courtyard with table and chairs to enjoy the sunshine.

The Book Nook is a lovely quirky place to stay especially if you love books ! All the welcome goodies were great and it was lovely to have a voucher from Woodbridge Books too.

The heating in thRead moree bedrooms did not work and information on this was lacking. A Visitor's Comments book is normally in every property for people to record reviews either good or bad to benefit the owners and unusually there was no book in the property.
