Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"Our 1st time at 'The Penthouse' - you're right, "probably the best view in Woodbridge", the best view we have ever had from our trips in Suffolk."
Thank you for a perfect 3 nights- just perfect. Your apartment I was so sad to leave...Woodbridge just great.
Can recommend The Royal Bengal, Blue Sale.
We have loved this, we will be back. Thank you

"The Penthouse is supreme quality from every aspect ."
.. including the views of the tidal Deben!
Beth and Nigel have created an eclectic haven of quality with so much thought and attention to unfussy detail. Having a designated parking space was an essential for us. Easy access via the lift a plus. Minimum distance to grab a meal either on the Quay or in Woodbridge Thoroughfare.
Overall SUPERB.

We have had a wonderful week including lots of sunshine. The Woodbridge area was my family house from 1970 so I needed no introduction to the area. The tidemill has changed so much and your fantastic apartment is a huge asset. We will visit again!

"Beautiful apartment, stunning views - an ideal base for discovering Suffolk which has exceeded our expectations."
Had no idea of such a rich diverse history - beautiful un-spoilt villages - every day has been action packed with new discoveries from the church at Orford - amazing organ, views from the castle, Benjamin Britten's House, the theatre, concert hall at Snape, the museum below an amazing reconstruction of the Anglo-Saxon Ship.

"This apartment is at the top end of the market, which is reflected in the price."
Luxurious interior design, bed and bedding of superior quality, kitchen equipped with absolutely everything you need to make self catering holiday feel even better than home! Spotlessly and sparkling clean with Turkish-type towels, his and hers dressing gowns and disposable slippers. There was also a “welcome” pack/wine, milk and vase of yellow roses.
But most importantly of all is its location and all round view over the Tidal Mill at Deben. It’s windows/French doors maximise all of the above.

Where do I start; with the wonderful panoramic views, the cleanliness and high spec of the decor and furnishings, warm, quiet, easy access. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed river walks and pottering around pretty Woodbridge then relaxed with a glass of wine and enjoyed watching the comings and goings on the estuary. Nice touch was wine and flowers when we arrived plus tea/coffee etc. Can highly recommend!!!!!

"We have had a really excellent stay."
The Penthouse is so comfortable. Like being at home but with a much better view! Although we could have stayed in and looked at the view & all the activity below us on the river, we did go out everyday and saw so much in this small corner of Suffolk - we only ever went North & still didn't see everything. Highlights were Sutton Hoo, Southwold, Orford and dinner at The Unruly Pig.
Thank you so much.

Beautifully maintained, well equipped and comfortably furnished……….with thoughtful extras such fresh flowers, chocolates, bottle of fizz and milk in the fridge adding a touch of romance and practicality. It is easy to imagine that this sunny south-facing apartment can be everything from a warm and cosy retreat in winter to a bright and airy, summer base. Sitting in the comfy Fama chair in front of the open French windows, there is an air of peace and tranquility as you watch the ebb and flow of the river and the comings and goings of people below. And certainly no shortage of things to do and interesting places to explore in Woodbridge and its environs. Wonderful long weekend here …… hope to come again sometime.

"Beautiful flat with a stunning view, thoughtfully equipped."
Great location - a couple of good restaurants in the same building, and well sited for the town and for country walks/Sutton Hoo.
My only suggestion for improvement would be to reduce the number of infusers - the smell was a bit overpowering.

"Having dodged the snow across the country, we turned up to the apartment, parked the car securely and walked in to a warm and beautifully presented Penthouse."
No need to unpack straight away as refreshments were to hand.
Tea, coffee, juice, milk or if you preferred wine.
The apartment is spacious with wonderful views, a kitchen that is easy to work in with everything to hand. Make use of the local fresh produce and sit and enjoy your food at the table watching the world and wildlife go by.
We found the hallway a blessing, due to weather. You can take off wet clothing and leave it out of sight and hanging up to dry away from your private space.
Bedroom and bathroom both spacious and comfortable.
There is plenty to keep you busy all day.
We found our hosts, neighbours and locals very friendly. Plenty of pubs and restaurants to suit all tastes.
We didn’t achieve everything we had planned so we will definitely be returning in the future. We hope that when we do the Penthouse will be available.

Views across the River Deben were ever changing with deep fog thinning to blue skies and evening sunsets. Loved the calls of the waders out on the muddy shoreline as the tides come and went. Day trips to: Aldeburgh, Dunwich (beach & heath), Sutton Hoo, Beth Chatto's Gardens, saved a few for our next visit. The longshed Sutton Hoo saxon ship project was very interesting. We will sign up as 'Friends' to stay informed. Many thanks for a magical break.
