Message from the Owner
Robertsons Boatyard sits on the banks of the river Deben, opposite Sutton Hoo and within the beautiful market town of Woodbridge. Records show that the site has been used for trade and boatbuilding since the Middle Ages. Robertsons was established in the early 1880s to build small wooden yachts for the leisure market. The yard remained in the hands of the Robertson family for three generations and continues to trade under their name today.
Although no longer owned by a Robertsons, the yard is still a family-owned business. In recent years there has been significant investment. With the underlying aim of ensuring the traditional boatyard skills and service are retained for future generations, some diversification and modernisation has been introduced. We are probably most proud of the Crow’s Nest, our stunning 1st & 2ndfloor, three-bedroom apartment in such a unique setting.
Guests at the Crow’s Nest love the changing views from the two terraces, from the tranquillity of dawn on the river to the hustle of boatyard activities (Monday to Friday), kayakers and passing sail boats during the day, followed by the still of the evening. Wildlife is abundant on the river; we’ve even had a seal visit our slipway. Guests are also welcome to bring their own kayak or rib to use our slipway, book one of our bespoke river trips or book some time to use our on-site co-working space.
We look forward to welcoming you.
The Location
Woodbridge is one of those towns that seems to encourage a slower pace. Mornings might begin with a stroll along the River Deben as boats gently bob on the tide, before stopping at Two Magpies Bakery for coffee and something freshly baked, their pastries are reason enough to get out of bed.
The town itself is full of characterful independents, perfect for an unhurried browse. Vanil is a go-to for beautifully designed Scandinavian homewares, while New Street Market is a small but brilliant collection of fashion, plants and interiors. It’s the sort of place where you... pop in for a quick look and emerge wondering how you acquired another houseplant.
If you’re feeling active, Rendlesham Forest is just a short drive away and offers miles of cycling and walking trails through pine woodland and open heathland. Or simply follow the river path out of town and watch the sailing boats glide by,Woodbridge has a knack for turning simple walks into something rather lovely.
The Suffolk coast is also within easy reach. Aldeburgh is about twenty minutes away and perfect for a classic seaside outing, think fish and chips eaten on the shingle while the waves roll in. For something a little quieter, the wonderfully wild beach at Covehithe makes a beautiful spot for a coastal walk.
When evening arrives, Woodbridge has plenty of welcoming places to settle in. The Anchor is a favourite for a relaxed pint of local Adnams, best enjoyed while planning where tomorrow’s wander might take you.
