Sitting in the middle of Woodbridge, this cute cottage for two is surrounded by independent shops, art galleries, eateries and traditional pubs. After a romantic stroll beside the river, return to this one-bedroom retreat to snuggle beside the gas fire in the lounge, enjoy a soothing soak in the bath, or sip a chilled drink in the pretty courtyard garden.

The elegant lounge/dining room with its gas fire in a brick fireplace, comfortable seating, and TV is an inviting spot to put your feet up and relax after a memorable day of adventure. A conveniently located dining area graces the room with a table and four chairs – perfect for romantic meals. Whip up home-cooked treats in the well-equipped kitchen or have a well-deserved bubble bath in the ground-floor bathroom. A steep staircase leads from the lounge to the first floor where a cosy and characterful double bedroom with plenty of storage awaits. One of the main attractions of the cottage is the charming, enclosed courtyard garden with its table and chairs for dining or drinks outside on summer days.

Take time to explore the River Deben by taking a wander past the historic Tide Mill before heading over to the yacht harbour to watch the vessels drift back and forth. Alternatively, hop in the car and take a drive to the seaside town of Aldeburgh, which is just 18 miles away. You can make use of the shingle beach and go for a walk along the shoreline or visit the delightful town with its Georgian buildings. You may even be lucky enough to encounter some of the local fishermen selling their daily catches – a great way to get some fresh seafood back to the cottage.

Cottage is lovely and perfect for me on my own. Nice to be in a place that feels like a home. The stairs were indeed steep but not impossible, though I played it safe and left my case on the main level. The 'welcome pack' items were very much appreciated! I hope to stay again.

The cottage was beautifully clean when I arrived. I especially appreciated the shelves full of DVDs and the maps provided. The position of the cottage is perfect for exploring Woodbridge on foot.

What a wonderful stay in Little Doric. Perfectly situated on a private lane in the center of town. It was quiet, comfortable and well equipped. Such a fabulous hideaway in one of the most beautiful places - Woodbridge Town and glorious Suffolk. Chuck Dalldorf, author of Notes From The Green Man

A lovely cottage in a great location. It provided everything I needed for a quiet, relaxing break in beautiful Suffolk. Despite the cold weather, the cottage was warm without the need for supplementary heating.

A pleasant, comfortable, small cottage ideally situated in the centre of Woodbridge. The stairs may be little steep for some but otherwise we found the cottage to be ideal and even managed to make use of the small enclosed garden during our stay in October. The only downside is the lack of a designated parking space so had to park in the station caRead morer park for most of the week. Hide

Little Doric is a quaint, sweet, cosy cottage situated in the heart of beautiful Woodbridge. It is full of character and original features, is nicely-furnished and well presented. It is an idea holiday escape for a single person or couple, wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. One wishes the walls could talk. You can imagine Read morea cottage like this in a Dickens novel. I would definitely recommend Little Doric for a holiday rental, and recommend Woodbridge as a lovely holiday location. Woodbridge is small but has many delights, including an estuary harbour, lovely shops and restaurants, a museum, beautiful church overlooking the town, and sweet pastel-painted clapper-board houses. It also has a leisure centre which is open early and closes late - a very valuable service. Hide
