For a one-of-a-kind holiday experience, this floating retreat offers relaxation that you can only enjoy while gazing at serene views across an expanse of water. Perfect for a romantic retreat, the two-person property is moored on the River Deben in the popular market town of Woodbridge, on the edge of the Suffolk and Essex Coast and Heaths National Landscape. Woodbridge’s bustling centre (0.5 miles) thrives with independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Beyond the town, explore the local area with walks along the river from your front door or into the national landscape’s beautiful countryside. Local attractions include the Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum (0.5 miles), Sutton Hoo (2.5 miles), the UK’s most important Anglo Saxon site, and the popular sailing village of Orford (11.5 miles). Enjoy days on the sand at Shingle Street Beach (9 miles) and find an impressive three golf courses within just 3 miles.

Walk through the unique boatyard and along the jetty to find your floating retreat. Before stepping inside, take a moment to appreciate your new surroundings of calm waters, interesting boats and distant woodland across the river. Head inside to find the waterside charm continues in the form of an open-plan living space with a nautical feel. Here, whitewashed walls complement the wood-panelled ceilings and cladding, setting a sleek base for relaxation after days of Suffolk adventure. Find the compact and well-appointed kitchen space in one corner, offering all you need to cook up a romantic feast for you. Enjoy the chef’s work at the cute dining table here or dine alfresco out on the decking when the weather permits. After food, settle into the sumptuous sofa for a cosy evening together and flick on the Smart TV to catch up on your favourite shows. At the end of each day away, retire to the delightful king-size bedroom for a great night’s sleep and start each morning with a rejuvenating soak in the well-equipped shower room.

The best way to enjoy the peaceful views and surrounding sounds of nature is by stepping onto the private decking space at the end of the property. Accessed from the living space, this stylish area is equipped with a bistro-style table and chairs, offering the perfect spot for quiet morning coffees and intimate al fresco meals. Prviate parking for one car is available in the adjoining boatyard.

Fabulous location right on river, great for bird watching. Minutes walk from town centre. Walk in opposite direction takes you to HMS Vale, former Swedish Navy boat were you can get delicious cakes and hot chocolate. Houseboat was spotlessly clean, seating and bed very comfortable. Internet connection hit & miss which in turn made watching SmRead moreart TV an issue. Other than that 10 out of 10 from us Hide

Excellent venue. Property was clean, comfortable and had everything needed for a really good stay. The real star, though, was the location. So peaceful, with no noise from the boatyard. Its a pleasant, short, level walk into Woodbridge and the shops, cafes and pubs, and its on the river walk. To top it off, the view out of the French doors, across Read morethe river to Tranmer House is a perfect way to wake up. Hide
