Walk the walls of a 12th-century castle and trace 800 years of history, from Norman earls to a Tudor queen.

A Grade I listed tide mill on the Suffolk riverside where the water wheel still turns and grinds flour.
Woodbridge Tide Mill is a rare tide mill that still grinds wholemeal flour, with a huge oak water wheel that you can often see turning. A mill has stood on this riverside site since medieval times, and the white-boarded building you visit today is Grade I listed. The mill itself is the exhibit, so you get a close look at the machinery as you go.
Tip: There's no parking at the mill itself, so use one of the pay and display car parks in Woodbridge, or walk from the station. Check the wheel turning times calendar before you go.
Drive times are typical times by car with no traffic. Check opening times and book tickets on each attraction's own website before you go.

Wonderful holiday
The TV didn't offer free view channels and had to navigate through some confusing menus to get even the basic channels such as BBC1
Had a lovely time will be defenatly going back
lovely place to say .
If you want a peaceful break, this is definitely the place for you.
Very nice holiday, would recommend to enyone.
Perfect base for lots of day trips, but with beautiful surrounding, also perfect to relax and unwind on site
Stayed in cedar one bedroom for me and my wife for a week All very good with hot tub and sauna very relaxing Bed very comfortable 4 poster
Very comfortable accommodation, good wi-fi, everything else very good.
We just got back from a really nice four-night stay at this cottage. The owners are super friendly and helpful without being intrusive, which we appreciated. The garden was perfect for our dog - fully fenced and spacious. The cottage had all the essentials and was really well equipped. We even used the BBQ one evening and the hot tub was fantastic! Were definitely coming back and already recommended it to friends. Thanks for a lovely break!
Great stay, highly recommend
We had a brilliant stay! The lodge was super clean and comfy and we loved relaxing in the hot tub and sauna. The fire pit pizza night was a real highlight and the torch in the cabin was a nice touch. Lovely attention to detail!
We stayed at this lovely place and it was really well equipped, kept us warm on a rainy December day. The bath was perfect and the big shower was a bonus! Even though it's under a flight path, we hardly noticed any noise, so dont let that put you off. Perfect spot for dogs that hate fireworks, surrounded by nature. Thanks a lot for a great stay!
A very well equipped log cabin in a peaceful and relaxing location
If youre after a peaceful break with a hot tub and amazing views then this is the place to go. I needed a well earned quiet break away from it all.. it did not disappoint! I could have quite easily stayed longer, the added luxury touches of the sauna in the bathroom, and the hot tub on the decking just made it even more special. The lodge was beautiful, everything I wanted. The staff are so helpful and always there to answer, Sarah was amazing! Highly recommended!
We recently stayed here for some much-needed downtime and honestly, it was just what we needed. The views are stunning and the hot tub on the decking was perfect after a long day. The lodge itself was really lovely - everything we wanted and more. The little touches like the sauna in the bathroom made it feel extra special. The staff were friendly and super helpful; Sarah especially went above and beyond. We couldve easily stayed longer, definitely a place to revisit!
Really enjoyed the peaceful setting and how well the cabin was equipped.
Really enjoyed the vibe and service.
Stunning lodges
Really disappointed, same sewage smell issue again, sadly.
We had a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead! Rob and Sharon really put a lot of effort into converting this historic place and it shows. They were super welcoming from the moment we arrived, along with Bonnie, of course. The location is perfect for exploring Essex-theres so much to see in Thaxted and the surrounding villages. Its a peaceful spot with all you need for a comfy, relaxing break. Highly recommend for a quiet getaway!
Really enjoyed our stay here, the hosts were lovely and the jacuzzi was a bonus! Great time.
Very nice chilled break
Relaxing, good vibes
The cottage was really cosy and perfect for a peaceful escape. The only thing was the occasional night-time plane noise from Stanstead, but the hot tub made up for it. Lovely stay!
We loved staying here! The peaceful rural setting was perfect for relaxing walks and the courtyard was stunning. The hot tub really made the stay extra special, such a lovely place!
We really enjoyed the walk, the fields are perfect and having the dogs with us was fantastic.
We had an amazing stay! The place was spotless and the staff genuinely friendly. The hot tub was a real treat and the kids adored the game room. We enjoyed long countryside walks with the dog. Definitely coming back next year!
We really enjoyed the peaceful setting and the lovely Suffolk sunshine.
Fabulous Arrival, all as advertised and nothing was missing, nice little touches we didn't expect like coffee, tea, biscuits etc. Cleaning products under the sink were a big advantage too Inc dishwasher tablets.The pillows are absolutely to die for, soooo comfy - all the beds too, very nice quality!!Great TV with all the apps used at home, really great and simple.Great games room for the children, includes so many things to keep them entertained.Had a few issues with noisey neighbours in another cabin while away but this was dealt with immediately by Staff/owner and even gave us free Rent of BBQ to rectify this the next day - Thank you.We would recommend a few things though - More fly papers required for all rooms, or electric fly bat is a must.(The flys are absolutely unbearable and this is October, I'd dread to think about summer month). More than 1 TV in whole cabin, maybe in bedroom especially when travelling with family. Dusting of the wooden ceilings is needed, cobwebs are a problem.We absolutely will be returning again and had a flawless stay over all.Thank you **
The lodge had everything we needed and out of all the holidays we’ve had this was by far the cleanest. Normally we find ourselves having to give it a once over with cleaning products but not this place. Location was fantastic for us. We had no intentions of going out for days as we were quite local anyway plus we had covid so wanted 5 days to chill and the peace and quiet was lovely as well as the private hot tub which was checked on daily. The staff let you get on with it, they even provide keysafes to let yourselves in, yet they are always on hand to help if needed. Regular communication via email was sent throughout our stay just to make sure everything was perfect. There are some lively walks we went on too. Just one criticism would be there isn’t a lot to do for young children or families, they have a games room but this isn’t state or the art but if you’re looking to just relax and get away from it all then we can’t fault it. We will return and recommend 10/10
Everything perfect with this lodge- was new , very clean and finished to a high standard
Was a Great cabin and had everything you needed even down to fly catchers the decking area could of been better but over all was nice
Excellent for peace and quiet. Lovely clean lodges .
Excellent venue for a quiet break.
Plenty of walks surrounding the grounds.
Lovely games room.
Clean Lodge.
Another excellent stay at Athelington Hall in a well appointed lodge.
Perfect getaway, the lodge was spotless, it was peaceful and generally a fantastic break away. Only problem is very rural you have to drive to get to anything but if you just want to stay in all week then it’s perfect for you.
100% would book again!
Excellent property had everything we needed. Spotless, would definitely recommend
Beautiful surrounding and lovely lodges thoroughly relaxing holiday.
We loved it here. Recharged our batteries. Ideal for relaxation walking and bike rides, spending time with family and friends. Loved the hot tub. Lodge was well thought out and well equipped and dog friendly too! Tiggy and Jasper the dog said we will return!!!
Was so lovely, we have already looked to come back.
Great rural location for our holiday in Suffolk.
Beautiful place to stay. We couldn't fault it. Thank you
Perfect location (would have been amazing if the hedge in front of us was shorter so we could appreciate more of a view) cabin was spotless, staff happy to help, all I can say is perfect, everything you could need was there, including tea sugar milk, and ice cubes lol,
