Why Our Prices Are Open & Honest
By Carl Scott
Have you ever spent twenty minutes falling in love with a holiday cottage, only to reach the final booking screen and see the price skyrocket? Suddenly, you’re hit with “service fees,” “cleaning charges,” and those frustrating “dog supplements.”
At Woodfarm Barns & Barges, we believe your holiday should start with a sigh of relief, not a gasp of surprise. That’s why we’ve committed to “The Woodfarm Way”, a philosophy built on transparency, fairness, and zero sticker shock.
1. No “Clickbait” Pricing
We don’t believe in lure-and-switch tactics. We’ve added clear price ranges to every one of our Barns and Barges. Whether you’re eyeing a Barn out of season or planning a peak-summer escape on one of our Barges, you’ll see the range upfront.
By booking with us, you avoid the hidden “service fees” often tacked on by third-party booking sites. We prefer the honest approach: the price you see is the price you pay. Although it kind of isn’t as we offer a £50 Discount for first time guests, and have a Loyalty Reward Points programme called TOGS, giving guests money off subsequent visits.
2. What Does Your Stay Actually Include?
When you see a price at Woodfarm, it isn’t just for a roof over your head. We pack our stays with value so you can leave your wallet in your suitcase. Your booking includes:
-
The Gold Standard of Dog-Friendliness: Unlike many agencies, we have no “per dog” fees. Whether you have one Lab or three, they are our guests too, and the treats are on us!
-
The Famous Breakfast Basket: You’ll find local Suffolk bacon, eggs, bread and other stuff waiting for you. There’s no need to dash to the shops the moment you arrive; we want you to wake up to a taste of the county.
-
The “Little Fixes”: Enjoy high-speed WiFi, a spotlessly clean hot tub maintained to the highest standards, and a generous supply of Woodfarm merchandise to make your stay extra special. We don’t believe in nickel-and-diming you for the essentials that make a house a home.
3. How to Secure the Best Value
We know everyone loves a deal. If you’re looking for the full Woodfarm experience at our most competitive rates, here are our “pro tips” for booking:
-
Mid-Week Magic: Sunday to Thursday stays offer the highest luxury for the lowest daily rate. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the peace of the countryside without the weekend premium.
-
The Quiet Season: Suffolk is arguably at its most beautiful (and cosy!) in November and February. Our prices reflect the season, offering a luxury retreat at a fraction of the mid-summer cost.
-
Book Direct: This is the golden rule. You will always get the best price and the most flexible service by booking right here on our website.
Transparent, Honest, and Worth Every Penny
We aren’t the cheapest stay in Suffolk, and we don’t try to be. Our goal is to be the best value luxury escape for you and your dogs. By removing hidden fees and including the “extras” as standard, we ensure that when you arrive, the only thing you have to worry about is which walk to take first.
