Deben Cottage – Dog-Friendly Stay in the Heart of Woodbridge

Welcome to Deben Cottage – a cosy, characterful retreat in the heart of Woodbridge.

Set within the town’s historic conservation area, this Grade II listed cottage combines period charm with modern comfort, offering a peaceful base just a short stroll from the high street, welcoming pubs, and the tranquil River Deben. Perfect for couples, solo travellers, remote workers, and young families, it’s a place to truly unwind.

Whether you’re curling up with a film, relaxing in the bath after a day exploring, or sipping your morning coffee beneath the garden’s twinkling fairy lights, Deben Cottage invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment.

Inside, you’ll find a comfortable double bed dressed in soft linen, a smart TV with Netflix, and a vintage-style desk for work or creativity. For families with little ones, a travel cot (85 × 45 cm) and high chair are provided. The kitchen may be compact, but it’s well-equipped — perfect for putting together a simple meal, perhaps with fresh produce from the Thursday market.

As with many cottages of its age, the staircase is steep and narrow. It adds to the charm, though it may not be ideal for everyone.

Dogs stay free, with a bed and bowl included so they feel just as welcome as you do.

Step outside and discover one of the UK’s happiest towns. Wander along the river, explore the historic Tide Mill, or take a short drive to Sutton Hoo. Whether you’re here to recharge, explore, or focus on work in a calm setting, Deben Cottage is a charming place to call home during your stay.
