Situated in the wonderful waterside village of Waldringfield, in a quiet and tranquil spot along the Quay, The Studio is an ideal coastal bolthole for two. Relax, unwind, and recharge in this delightful location with a wide range of amenities directly on your doorstep. Take a walk along the sandy banks of the River Deben and watch the boats sail past, stop off at the popular Maybush Inn for a tipple or two or simply sit and watch the glorious landscape in front of you with water birds roaming along the marsh and if you’re lucky maybe even the villages resident seal! 

The Studio itself is a small yet perfectly formed one story cottage with all you could need for your self-catering staycation. Bask in the morning sunshine on your private veranda and enjoy breakfast cooked in your fully fitted kitchen or snuggle up on the sofa after a day exploring the local delights. A peaceful nights sleep also awaits in the comfortable double bed and all in the most serene location.

An ideal couples winter retreat, the cosy and insulated accommodation is a great place to return to after a bracing seasonal walk, taking in the local wildlife and waterside location.

The Studio was very clean and we enjoyed our stay. We wanted a peaceful break and we enjoyed watching the birds in the garden. We bought some seed for them and gave them some fresh water in the birdbath. We had two nice walks by the nearby river Deben but weather was too chilly during our stay to do more. If weather had been warmer we would have doRead morene more walks. The Maybush pub only a short walk away did a very good meal and has a nice view of the boats on the river. It is good that it is so near The Studio. Woodbridge is a short drive away. A Tesco superstore is also on the way to Woodbridge and has everything that you might need if you want to have a meal in The Studio. Hide

The Studio is very nice and well-presented with everything you need contained within the Studio. Parking is excellent on the site, and you can get the car boot open literally just a couple of feet away from the door entrance, which is helpful.

The Pub/Restaurant is just a matter of a hop, skip and a jump away, as is the river itself. Nice walks and plenty of places of interest nearby. Would recommend. Hide

Very compact and cosy - real hideaway for two. We were thankful for the close proximity to the pub, as the weather was typical for January. When the weather was kinder, we were in awe of the riverside walk. The bird life on the River Deben was spectacular.

This is our second year at the Studio and we are planning to take it next year as well. It is an absolute delight for two people who are looking for a quiet, secluded retreat, yet in a village location and very close to the river Deben for sailing and swimming (the river Deben at Waldringfield has been approved for open water swimming by the DepartRead morement for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs).

Lovely peaceful location, perfect for "rest and recuperation" and watching the swifts enjoying their evening acrobatics - but within easy reach of the river for clean swimming and footpaths for exploring the salt marshes with their wonderful birdlife.
