kitchen

Very friendly welcome and great for a few days stay. Don't serve breakfast anymore but food can be sought close by. Highly recommended.

Very quiet, peaceful place. Shared bathroom and toilet , tea and coffee facilities.comfortable stay.

The rooms themselves are nice clean and so is the shared bathroom, it has lovely views and the building is beautiful. It is out of the way so you hear no traffic. 

However... the doors to all the rooms were thin old wood with just old iron latches meaning anytime someone enters or leaves a room it is very loud and can be herd from rooms down the hallway. You are unable to secure your room from the outside if you go out, there is  just a small pin to lock the door from the inside. 

There is also a parrot and dog as pets to the hosts which wasn't mentioned anywhere, this would have been useful to know as I have a mid dog hair allergy. The parrot is also very vocal and can be heard from the rooms through closed doors. 

As we booked on Booking.com it didn't say anywhere that breakfast wasn't included so we got there and we were told that 
- Breakfast isn't included
- We cannot eat any food in our rooms
- We cannot use the kitchen to prepare food
- We have to ask for crockery to be left out so we can eat
- We can only use the dining table to eat as there was no outside space for guests to sit without it being the hosts family's space
So we were very restricted for food options while there. Unless you decide to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner out in restaurants which we did not want to do after being very tired and not having slept well from the latches of other doors, other guests being very loud and the parrot. 

Stayed 2 out of our 3 booked nights as we just couldn't do another night of poor sleep.

Bed and NO BREAKFAST

Great spacious room with king bed, lovely host who was very welcoming. Just a nice home from home feeling.Great value and totally recommend.❤️

Loverly setting however the bed and especially the pillows are not good enough for a good nights sleep or comfort, I hand a ground room and at 22:30 the room above was used which for the rest of the night the gentleman may as well have been in my room with me and could hear every from TV, walking around and phones callsWIFI poor also but have seen this reviews previously and it’s just a remote place but very peaceful so don’t plan on getting any work done on PC.

Honest Feedback

Many reviews mention the impressive breakfast but be warned that of recent date the proprietors have decided: "room only at the moment on these prices I am directing anybody to stanway where all the eating houses are."

Somewhat confusing as their own web page clearly states: Dining (Tick) Cooked breakfast.

You are encouraged to take advantage of the dining area should you take your own breakfast.

So, as long as you are clear on that point It is a delightful B&B (-B)

It is a delightful B&B (-B)

Very nice accommodation and we had a good nights sleep however and it’s a big however we did not receive B&B, just B. When I confirmed our arrival for the following day the lady said your just bed. I queried this via email and received a somewhat curt reply telling me I hadn’t booked breakfast and that if I wanted to add it we could at a cost of £20 per head!! I was given the option to cancel but only 12 hours before due to arrive this wasn’t really an option. So I checked our booking and could find no where we could opt in or out of breakfast. Who books a bed and breakfast and then has no breakfast. I shall be pursuing this the booking agent but whatever I would urge the Proprietors to review this policy if indeed it is one.  I actually went through the motions again of booking a room and again there was no option in or out for breakfast. Sorry but this is really not on. 

This is not B&B just B. No breakfast!

The property is in a great location if visiting Layer Marney Tower, which was our prime reason for booking. However, we were very disappointed with our stay. For £90 per night and being advertised as a B&B, you would expect breakfast to be included. However, all the literature on this property doesn't mention breakfast, which should perhaps have been a red flag. Neither does it say room only. But breakfast is not included and actively discouraged by the owner as "not cost effective". If that was the only disappointment, it would have been OK. The room we had was a converted garage under the house. It was cold and slightly damp, especially in the en-suite. There was no heated towel rail and no light above the mirror and our wet towels were not changed. The only place to sit was in a solitary garden chair by the door and the kettle was showing bare wires and no signs of a PAT test. Seemed rather tired and lacking in care and attention. Not worth the £90pn... Sorry

Not a B&B... Overpriced garage conversion

Woodview itself, is so beautiful...set in the most wonderful place , surrounded by fields, so picturesque... julie, is so welcoming and she is amazing...such a lovely lovely lady.... willing to bend over backwards for you.... thoroughly recommend Woodview without a doubt....
